Akerselva river tour is one of the best experiences Oslo has to offer. It starts in the leafy-green Grünerløkka district, under some historic bridges such as Ankerbrua and Vaterland, through Grønland and through a 500m long tunnel to take you underneath Oslo Central Station! The tour ends where the Akerselva meets Oslofjord, at the ultra-modern Munch Museum. Choose between kayak or stand up paddleboard (SUP), and explore Oslo in a very unique way.
