Jul i Vinterland: And finally...The Christmas Markets!

Thu 12 Dec 24: Guided Oslo Fjord Cruise by Electric Catarman

Our tour guide will share interesting and important stories of the nature and wildlife that lives in and around the city of Oslo. Enjoy freshly baked goods during the journey. Both inside and outside, it is comfortable and safe for young and old. Our panoramic windows go down all the way to the floor, so that even the smallest in our midst can see the scenery and nature outside. Duration: 2 hours, 30 mins. Inclusions: WiFi on board. Restroom on board.
Pass By Dyna Lighthouse: Dyna Fyr is an icon in the Oslo fjord. A lighthouse turned church turned restaurant. This rock has certainly made efficient use of its available square meters. (Admission Ticket Free).

Wood is provided.
Fire starting materials are provided to light the sauna oven.

Drinking water.
What to Expect:
Sauna and fjord swimming is very popular in Oslo all year round. You will have 1.5 hours to relax in the sauna, enjoy the amazing views, and swim in the Oslo fjord. Make sure to bring a water bottle and two towels—one to sit on and one to dry yourself and change with. There is no shower in the winter (November - April), but the water in Tjuvholmen is the cleanest in Oslo, making it a great shower substitute. The changing area is quite small, so we encourage you to get changed outside using your towel like the Norwegians do! Please remember to never put salt water on the sauna oven, be kind and considerate to other sauna users, be safe, and do not drink more than three standard drinks during your visit. Enjoy sauna life on Oslo fjord with Mad Goats!
