Enjoy refreshments served onboard the boat while you slowly cruise the archipelago. Sail out of the Byfjord and past Dvergsøya, where the Norwegian Crown Prince, Håkon, has his summer residence. Continue past Herøya, a farming settlement established in the 1670's towards Blindleia, an area characterized by calm waters located in a warm and friendly landscape.

Inside the Blindleia sail past Stokken, home burial mounds from the Bronze and Iron Age. The voyage continues on to Tømmerstø, with its well preserved, architecturally distinctive, buildings. Conclude your sailing journey and return back to the port.
