Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket

Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket - Location by the Fram Museum, transit-friendly and easy to pair

1.Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,096 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $19Our pick

Ticket to Oslo’s Kon-Tiki Museum. See Heyerdahl’s original raft, plus artifacts and the Oscar-winning film, about 1 hour.

“The film, which is actual footage of the journey and taken by the crew, was fantastic. And very cool to actually hear the history behind the Kon-Tiki and the crew’s backgrounds. So much I didn’t already know. The film starts at noon, so try not to miss it. Seeing the Kon-Tiki was a bonus! I would highly recommend it, though it was a labor of love (to myself) to get there! The trains were cancelled due to weather, so from the airport, it was a multi-hop journey. Worth it!”

Half-day Ålesund and Alnes highlights in a small group: Aksla 360 views, Art Nouveau fire rebuild, lighthouses, Giske Kirke, Sunnmøre museum.

“We had a fantastic day with Rolf as we visited some of the best sites around Aselund. He is a local owner/operator and is very knowledgeable about all of the Aselund area and history. If anyone in your group has mobility issues, the size of his mini-coach will allow you to get closer to your destinations than the large coaches. The small group sizes also allows you to visit more places than any comparable ship tours for less money. We highly recommend Royal Tours.”

45 minute guided cod tasting at Full Steam Tromsø, four Norwegian cod dishes, plus museum entry for Sea Sami, Northern Lights, and maritime exhibits.

“The museum was interesting and the tasting tour was great. However, the service was AMAZING. We were a bit delayed but the manager was extremely helpful and made sure we still got the experience. We went to the restaurant after and it was also AMAZING. The fish soup is a must. We also had a northern lights tour for another company get cancelled and Full Steam was able to include us in their tour at the last minute and were so great and accommodating. I would give them more stars if I could. Full Steam has been the best part of our vacation.”
