The adventure begins onboard
Your holiday starts in Hirtshals, where Fjord Line’s modern ferry sails to Kristiansand in just 2 hours and 25 minutes, or aboard its cruise ferry, which completes the same route in 3 hours and 15 minutes.
Onboard, the whole family can relax with sea views, enjoy a meal, or browse the duty-free shops before arriving.
Once you reach Kristiansand, it’s only a short drive to the zoo.
It’s an easy and stress-free start to a holiday packed with experiences for all ages – from young adventurers to teenagers.
Different accommodation options – choose the one that suits your family
One of the package’s greatest advantages is the flexibility to choose how and where you want to stay.
Would you like to stay in a pirate town? A cabin in the forest? Or wake up with giraffes outside your hotel window?
The options are many, and all are close to Kristiansand Zoo.
Here’s an overview of the accommodation choices included in the package:
Abra Harbour – Stay in the middle of a pirate town
If your family loves Captain Sabertooth, Abra Harbour is the perfect choice.
Here, you stay right in the heart of the pirates’ world, where the magic continues even after the park closes for the day. It’s a truly unique accommodation experience.
Julius Forest – Let nature be your bedroom
At Julius Forest, you stay in charming cabins surrounded by woodland and climbing trails winding through the trees.
It’s a cozy base that’s perfect for families who want to be close to nature while still enjoying easy access to the zoo.

Wake up to the sounds of the savannah
If you want traditional hotel comfort with a wild twist, the Safari Hotel is the ideal option. Overlooking the savannah, you can wake up to views of giraffes outside your window.
The hotel is conveniently located near both the zoo and the water park, making it perfect for families who want easy access to all attractions.
