About
About Kvitsøy ferjekai
Kvitsøy is the smallest municipality in Norway by area — a cluster of low islands off the Boknafjord with around 500 residents — and its ferry to Mekjarvik covers 6.4 nautical miles in 35 minutes, 14 sailings a week in each direction.
The service runs from 05:25 to 23:00 under five day patterns, so the island is reachable across most of the day.
The islands were a pilot station for centuries — the Kvitsøy pilots guided shipping into the Boknafjord long before the lighthouse went up in 1829 — and the flat, treeless landscape is the reason: from here you can see the weather coming. Kolumbus operates the crossing as a vehicle ferry, and until the Rogfast tunnel surfaces on the island, these 14 boats a week are the only way on or off.
