- Lille Stranden 9 - Sauna and fjord swimming is very popular in Oslo all year around. 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 it! 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 3 standard drinks during your visit. Enjoy sauna life on Oslo fjord with Mad Goats!

Pretty unique - Amazing experience, sauna-ing close to the bank and swimming in the fjord. I slept very well that night :-). Not something that you can do everywhere, and definitely worth doing in Oslo.

Coolest activity in Oslo - Sauna's manager (Kaspar) mode : show must go on !
I didn't expect anything special from the sauna on a boat, just as I didn't expect to have so much fun in Norway.
For 200NOK and some swimming gear you're ready to experience the most intense heat of your life and then plunge into the cold waters of the pjfords.
If you're lucky and generous, you might even get to dance with Kaspar. Get ready to see a real devil in hell, both matador and beast in full bullfighting mode! VIP atmosphere guaranteed.

Delightful sauna experience - Really enjoyed the experience. The sauna worked perfectly well and was steaming hot when we entered at 9 am as the fire had already been started from 7:30 am. The dip in the sea next to the floating sauna made the session all the more enjoyable. The owner’s brother was so friendly and helpful that we felt welcomed. Great activity and highly recommended. The only slight minus is that we couldn’t find the tap to operate the shower outside the sauna to get a quick rinse before we headed back to our hotel for a full shower.

Floating sauna - We had an amazing experience with the sauna. Instructions and directions were clear. Sauna was clean and changing area was available. Met some great people and loved jumping into the cold sea - several times after relaxing and heating up in the sauna - great views, a great and unique experience

So much fun! - This was an amazing way to start our day in Oslo. A 10 minute drive and a 20 minute walk from the cruise terminal. The water and facilities were clean, there were drinks available for purchase and the staff was amazing.
It is a natural Fjord so it’s not a pool- it’s a natural land mark however it was cleaner than any pier I’ve swam in from Alaska to New Jersey beaches. You do need to be a stronger swimmer to jump in- it’s very deep so don’t be scared!

Nice Activity to try in Oslo. - Great activity and ocation, although you are exposed to the marina and its visitors.
Had there been a shower to use before heading off for lunch, this would have been 5*.

Worth it! - Was a nice experience. Water in the Fjord was not too cold. The Oven was not burning when we arrived 15 minutes before starting time. Fired it on ourselves and was hot after 30 minutes. Despite this it was Great.

No Oversight, Do Not Book! - The floating sauna was being occupied by other people. I'm not even sure they were supposed to be there as they may have thought it was a 'free sauna'. They did not have the code to access, but instead waited for the last couple to exit and then went in. It was an entire family. I would not recommend this sauna to anyone. There is no oversight and nobody around to call or get in contact with. Our money was refunded but it was a total waste of time.
