A short walk to the pier brings you to the motorboat for a wonderful two-hour cruise along the archipelago of Kristiansand. Your cruise skirts Norway's holiday coast past a host of restored coastal homes, painted white as was the tradition for dwellings built close to the sea. Your captain will head out of the Byfjord and past Dvergsøya, which proudly boasts the summer residence of Crown Prince Håkon. Look to theside of the vessel to see Herøya, settled in the 1670s, and Blindleia, where the waters are calm. Continue past Stokken, where burial mounds still stand from the Bronze and Iron Ages. You'll want to photograph Tømmerstø, with its architecturally unique buildings and summer cottages. Round out your tour at Randesund archipelago, consisting of 988 islands, reefs and islets. Your memorable journey ends back at the port.
