'Ello chaps!…read more Batservice Sightseeing (Boat Service Sightseeing) is located in the heart of downtown Oslo (near Akershus Fortress). They offer a variety of "fjord" sightseeing tours. I say "fjord" because the region is within a "fjord" but the fjords one would imagine being in Norway are found elsewhere, such as near Bergen. Despite this, it's a great two hour tour, and costs about $40 USD. It's money well spent. You get great views of Oslo from the water, getting to see the water shore attractions such as the Oslo Opera House, but also the near by islands and summer homes. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase on board. You can pre-purchase tickets online or in person --- or on the spot, although some tours may fill up. Seating is on an open deck and available first come first serve, so be early for a good spot. They suggest one half hour prior to departure time. Overall I give Batservice Sightseeing 5 stars out of 5.

Thankfully, weather was amazing and there were dozens of sailboats out as the boat returned around 5:30 pm on a Wednesday in late August. Did not need to wait more than 4-10 minutes for ferry rides to Fram/Kon-Tiki area, or back to Oslo.

The trick is to buy the card where you can either buy 6 entry at once (474NOK + 20NOK for a card to be used within one year) or charge it with money (unlimited in time) and the price will drop to 79NOK per entry. The last trick is to be a member of the gym. There are also saunas which are nice to warm up in winter.
