This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 buffet experiences worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend three hours aboard a restored wooden sailing ship on Oslofjord. You will pass Hovedøya, Dyna Lighthouse, Bygdøy, and Huk Bay while eating peel-and-eat Norwegian shrimp with bread, butter, lettuce, mayonnaise, and dill. The mood is relaxed and social, with drinks available from the onboard bar.
“There was no light on the upper deck. We ate shrimps in the dark?! It was not comfortable.”
Meet at Rådhusbrygge 3 near Oslo City Hall for an evening sail around the Oslofjord. You’ll pass the Opera House, Akershus Fortress, and small islets aboard a traditional wooden boat, with shrimp, bread, lettuce, lemon, butter, and mayonnaise served during the cruise.
“Really nice summer activity with beautiful views but the food could do with a bit more options (even slices of cheese)”
Meet at Oslo City Hall and board a traditional wooden sailing ship for a three-hour Oslo Fjord cruise. You will pass islands, fortresses, summer homes, and narrow sounds while a live jazz band plays. The included buffet features shrimp, lemon, mayonnaise, bread, and butter. Drinks cost extra and outside drinks are not allowed.
“Lucky to have great weather. Had a wonderful evening onboard. Drinks, shrimp buffet and a great entertaining jazz band. Good time had by all!”
Leave Stavanger before dawn for a guided 4-kilometer climb to Preikestolen. English or Norwegian guides, headlamps, poles, snacks, hot berry juice, and breakfast are included. Guides such as Alan, Stephan, and Erlend are known for steady pacing and helpful trail advice.
