Oslo Sea Experience offers private boat tours aboard a Cormate T28, a fast and comfortable Norwegian-built day cruiser seating seven guests. The boat is yours alone — no strangers on board, and the trip is shaped around what you want to do.
Your decision
See the Opera House, Akershus Fortress and Oslo's new waterfront from the water, or head further out: swim off the rocks in a quiet cove, go ashore on the islands, or let the captain show you Steilene or the Dyna lighthouse at sunset. Captains Simon, Adrian and Are know these waters well and happily share the stories behind everything you pass. This is the authentic Norwegian small-boat experience — nothing feels more Norwegian in summer than dropping anchor in Middagsbukta for lunch.
Choose a cruise that fits the occasion
The 3-hour private cruise is the classic choice for families, couples and visiting friends. The sunset cruise (4 hours) runs in golden evening light with snacks and refreshments, while the 6-hour tour reaches all the way to Drøbak and the island of Håøya. For something exceptional, we tailor a full-day luxury experience where we go exactly as far as you like, with premium catering from Oslo restaurants.

A short and cozy trip is a visit to the pride of the city, Badeparken.
This is the municipality's Millennium Site, concert venue, swimming area for young and old, and it contains a number of attractions.
You can choose to enter the park from the south at Båthavna or by the beautiful Drøbak Church from 1776. Inside the park, you can either stroll along a network of paths along the sea or move a bit up into the park over gently rolling terrain and through what the locals call Gamleparken (the Old Park).
If you enter from the south at Båthavna, you are greeted by the beautiful sight of blooming cherry trees.
Inside the park, you will find a play area for children, you can visit an art exhibition at Galleri Varmbadet, lie down and soak up the sun on Parrstranda in the north, or dive into the sea from the diving board "Femmer’n."
Badeparken also features a popular playground with a slide, swings, and a climbing net.
There is a beautiful Memorial Grove for those who fell from Frogn during World War II, and you can become acquainted with the bust of Colonel Eriksen, who sank the German warship Blücher on April 9, 1940.
A little below the bust lies a large anchor from the Blücher, which was retrieved from the depths where the warship sank during the dramatic and significant historical military action in 1940.
October and November is one of the finest periods for an adventure on the water. Let us arrange a tour for your group where you can come out on a RIB.
Imagine a nice autumn day with bright sunshine, a mirror like surface and good nature experiences near the big city interspersed with stories and anecdotes about life on the Oslofjord.
In recent years, a sea eagle couple has settled on Håøya, right by Oscarsborg and this is a majestic sight when we get to experience them up close.
Did you know that there is seal’s in the Oslofjord? We often meet seals on our tours and they’re often curious..
