About
About Hestøya ferjekai
Hestøya is four-tenths of a nautical mile from Brønnøysund — five minutes, 13 sailings a week outbound and 14 back, on three or four day patterns. Sauren, 1.6 miles away, takes 19 to 20 minutes.
The contrast is the point: a five-minute hop to the town and a twenty-minute run to the next island, both from the same quay.
Brønnøysund is the regional centre of southern Helgeland, and the mountain behind it — Torghatten, with a hole straight through it large enough to walk into — is one of the most photographed features on the Norwegian coast. Hestøya sits in the sound just outside the town, close enough that the crossing is barely a journey and far enough to need a boat.
