Lonely Planet review for Hovedøya

Ferries running to the half a dozen islands in Oslofjord leave from Vippetangen quay, southeast of Akershus Festning. Hovedøya, the closest island, has a rocky coastline, but its southwestern side is a popular sunbathing area. There are walking paths around the perimeter, some old cannons and the ruins of a 12th-century monastery. Boats to Hovedøya leave from Vippetangen once or twice hourly from late May to mid-August, less the rest of the year.
