By Oslo Sea Experience

See Oslo

Private days on land, run by the small team rated five stars by every guest since 2023: a chauffeured day that ends at a lake in the forest above the city, a city walk built around your group, or a walk through Oslo's food scene.

By private car

The chauffeured days

Half day or full day, you travel in a private luxury vehicle with two of us on the job: a chauffeur who stays with the car, and a guide who stays with you. Both days start in the middle of the city and end well above it. One car takes up to six guests; for larger groups we add a second car.

See Oslo — Half Day

4 hours · private car, chauffeur and guide

Start on the Opera House roof with Oslo below you, then Akershus Fortress, Karl Johan, and Vigeland Park, before the road climbs past Holmenkollen to Frognerseteren, 435 metres above the city. Entry tickets are included, and the schedule runs at your group's pace.

See Oslo — Full Day

8 hours · private car, chauffeur and guide

Everything in the half day, spread over eight hours. We book a lunch table along the route, and in the afternoon you walk the last stretch from the car to a camp by a lake in Nordmarka. Food and drinks at the water's edge, coffee and cake, and entry tickets are included; in summer you can try your hand at fishing.

Land and fjord

The packages

Three combinations of land and fjord. Each package costs less than the parts booked separately, and you keep the same hosts on land and on the water.

Oslo, Above & Below

2 days · land and fjord

Day one is the full See Oslo day by car, up to the viewpoints above the city. Day two is a three-hour private cruise on the fjord. The city is the focus here, with the camp in Nordmarka as the wilder end of day one.

Fjord & Forest

1 day · land and fjord

Morning on the fjord with one of our captains. In the afternoon the car takes you up to Frognerseteren and into Nordmarka. This is the day to choose if nature is the point.

Taste of Oslo

1 day · land and fjord

The food walk through the city in the afternoon, then a sunset cruise on the fjord the same evening. It is the most urban of the three: Oslo's restaurants first, then the fjord as the light goes.

On foot

For a smaller day

The two walks start from the same preference sheet as the chauffeured days. Each takes about four hours.

Private City Walk

4 hours · walking

Before you arrive we send a short preference sheet: art or history, fortress or markets, how much walking suits the group, what to skip. The walk is put together from your answers, so no two run the same route. Your guide takes you on foot, with the tram where it saves time. We keep it to eight guests per guide, and a larger group walks with two.

Oslo Food Walk

About 4 hours · walking and eating

Four hours through Oslo's food scene, set up around what you like to eat. The stops usually include Theatercaféen, Kafeteria August, and Engebret (Oslo's oldest café, running since 1857), and they shift with the season and with your answers on the preference sheet. The guide books each stop in advance and orders for the table, so you skip the queues.

Your hosts

Simon, Adrian, and Are

See Oslo is run by Oslo Sea Experience, the company behind the private cruises from Tjuvholmen — the highest rated private experience in Oslo. On land you get the same hosts, and any of the three can lead any of the days.

Simon, host at Oslo Sea Experience

Simon

Simon runs the boat and hosts the land days between turns at the wheel. Book a package and he may be the one who takes you from the city out onto the water.

Adrian, host at Oslo Sea Experience

Adrian

Adrian hosts city and forest alike. Ask him on the road up to Frognerseteren what lives in Nordmarka, and set aside some time for the answer.

Are, host at Oslo Sea Experience

Are

Are carries the city's history: why Karl Johan runs where it does, what once stood on Hovedøya. It comes up along the way, wherever you happen to be standing.

November to March

The same routes in snow

In winter the car still climbs to Frognerseteren. At the lake we light a bonfire instead of setting up the summer camp, and the afternoon can include a cross-country skiing lesson in the tracks above the city, or snowshoes if the group prefers to walk.

In December it is dark by four, so we start earlier and end the day at the fire. Winter days are planned individually — write to us with your dates.
