Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 80 reviews
On the southern part of the island of Tromoy, only 10 minutes from Arendal town by car, bus or boat, there is a beautiful area called Hove. This recreation area is part of a protected moraine that lies along the southern coast. The whole area has been adapted for walks with resting places along the shore. There is a beach and kiosk at Hove camping during the summer season, and several kilometres of smooth rocks. Sundays between September and May, there is a lunch buffet at Hovestua in Hove camp from 12 to 18. The paths are many and stretches from Hove to Alve, along Spornes beach, consisting of boulders and rocks, and sand when the sea permits. The area is used for hiking both summer and winter, and is suitable for everyone, children and adults. The trip from Hove camping to Alve and back is about 12 kms, and the network of paths allows both short and long trails. Maps for sale at Arendal tourist office, Hove camp, and Bjellandstrand Gard. Parking for instance at Hove camping and Hove camp. Bus no 3 to Tromoy ost leaves Arendal every hour during the day, Monday-Saturday.

Hove and Spornes has it all... The beautiful forest to hike in with sunlight pouring in between the trees; the sandy beach for sunning, swimming and picnics on warm summer days; and the "rullesteinstrand" (rolling stones beach) for communing with nature, with the wide ocean horizon spread out in front of you and the sound of the waves crashing over the stones. Here you can find real relaxation any time of the year, a break from an otherwise busy life. Plenty of activities also for families with children. They'll love it as much as you will. If you're in the Arendal area you definitely don't want to miss the old Viking ground Hove and the beaches of Spornes.

Furulunden is a wonderful pearl in the heart of Mandal. Just about a km from the city, Furulunden offers great biking, jogging and walking trails in beautiful nature. The trails lead to various sandy beaches and coves around the peninsula. You can always find a beach in the sun, most shallow, well suited for small children, but some with platforms you can swim out to. You can picnic everywhere, or buy something at the cafe at Risørbanken, or just plukk a handfull of wild berries. The jogging trails are often covered with wood chips providing a soft surface, the bike trails are mostly flat and suited for everyone. If you are camping at Sjosanden, it’s a MUST. Take a morning jog or evening stroll.

Glowing golf is the only of its kind in Norway. You play 18 holes minigolf in an atmosphere of UV lights and amazing 3D settings. It´s a fantastic experience for all ages! See you soon

Few places have this kind of a truly amazing experience. The service is excellent. The course is not to long, nor to short. Great variety in obstacles and challenges, making the entire experience great. A new consept with 3D glasses and neon lights that makes the mini-golf all that more enjoyable. Clean well kept environment and easily combined with food and drinks that is sold at the front desk. And a great lounge area to chill in between or after. This is a must to experience! Fits couples, friendgroups, first dates, families with young or older children and I would say almost all other people
6. Dyreparken

Kristiansand Dyrepark is the number one tourist attraction in Norway, attracting close to 1 million visitors each year. It consists of more than 150 different animal species, entertainment, shows, amusement park as well as a seperate water park called Badelandet.

Kristiansand Zoo is more than a regular zoo: There's an amusement park and a water fun park, as well. Great care is taken to make sure that the animals have plenty of space, and that's good for the animals. Sometimes it´s not so good for the visitors, as the animals tend to find shelter away from sight of the visitors. My son found the tigers and the cheetahs to be the most exciting, but the rain forest is also always interesting. I would recommend spending two days here, if you have the time.

Located at Norway’s southernmost point, this is the last manned lighthouse in the country. Some nice old buildings, great views and also some remains of WW2 fortifications. The museum is also a good one.

10. Odderoya

Reviewed By Gerd-Hanne_Norway
Really enjoyed my morning walk around Odderoya. Particularly, I liked the light house, the paths, the views from various spots around the island, and learning a little military history. Also, there is a small, charming garden which looked like it might be a community garden(?). There are some fairly steep hills if heading for the light house, so good to have proper footwear.
