Want to enjoy a RIB ride to Færder lighthouse?

We take you out to Store Færder where the original lighthouse was built in 1697. From the west side of the Store Færder we run the last bit out of Færder lighthouse on Tristein. The lighthouse was completed in 1857 and since then has been one of Norway’s most famous lighthouses. Here it is always gangway while we tell little about Færder fyr`s history.

Lightship is with its location one of the main hallmarks of the shipping industry in the Oslo Fjord. The area around Færder lighthouse can be very harsh, and is characterized by «Norwegian Pilot» as a dangerous place to be when the autumn storms set in.
