Ferries from Revsnes ferjekai

Revsnes ferjekai is a small car-ferry landing at the head of the Gullesfjord region in southern Troms, serving the crossing over to Flesnes on the northern side. It runs as line 170 in the county's Svipper network, operated by Torghatten Nord along county road Fv850. This is genuinely rural infrastructure: the quay is a simple concrete ramp with a waiting lane beside the road, not a terminal building, set among the steep, sparsely populated shores where Hinnøya meets the mainland fjord country.

The passage across Gullesfjorden is short, about 20 minutes, and the boat is a drive-on car ferry rather than a passenger express. Unlike the region's longer links, this route runs frequently, with departures roughly every hour through the day, which makes it convenient for the local traffic that depends on it. Payment is by AutoPASS for ferje, registered automatically at the ramp or arranged onboard, and there is no advance booking.

The route's value is as a connector in the wider road network stitching together Hinnøya, the Vesterålen islands and the mainland toward Harstad and Narvik. For most users it is a functional link in a longer drive rather than a destination in itself, though the fjord scenery on the short hop, dark water hemmed by high, forested slopes, is quietly striking. Traffic volumes here are far lighter than on the trunk crossings further south, in keeping with the thinly settled Gullesfjord basin it serves. Anyone routing through this corner of Troms should treat the hourly cadence as generous by local standards and simply follow the E-road signage down to the ramp, but still check the day's timetable, since evening and winter sailings are sparser.
