Taste the archipelago while helping protect its unique marine environment

Join a unique and meaningful experience in Norway’s first marine national park. Together with experienced local guides, you’ll harvest Pacific oysters along the beautiful coastline of the Hvaler Archipelago while learning how this invasive species affects the area’s delicate marine ecosystem.

After a short introduction, you’ll head to the shoreline where Pacific oysters are easily found. Equipped with the necessary tools, you’ll learn how to identify, harvest and handle the oysters safely while discovering why removing them helps protect native species and preserve the biodiversity of the Oslofjord.

Once the harvest is complete, relax by the sea and enjoy freshly prepared Pacific oysters served by a local restaurateur. Combined with spectacular coastal scenery and fascinating stories about marine life, this is an unforgettable nature and culinary experience.

No previous experience is required, making this activity suitable for anyone looking to combine outdoor adventure, local food and sustainability.
