About the Altneset kombibåtkai – Kvalfjord kai crossing
Three day patterns and twelve weekly sailings: Monday to Friday, Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday, and Tuesday-Thursday-Friday. Monday appears in only one of the three.
Three departures cover 15:15 to 18:25 over 3.7 nautical miles in fifteen minutes — an afternoon service with nothing in the morning.
The vessel is a kombibåt: passengers and goods on the same run, which on the Finnmark coast means the boat is the shop delivery as well as the bus. That dual role is why the sheet is written around specific weekdays rather than a repeating daily pattern.
Kvalfjord is one of the settlements on the Altafjord that the road has never reached. Twelve sailings a week, all in the afternoon, is its entire scheduled connection.

Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings operate on selected days, and frequency can change between the summer and winter seasons. The timetable above shows the latest published departures — confirm with the operator for off-season dates.

Yes — Snelandia carries vehicles on this route. Book your car space in advance, especially in peak season, and check the specific sailing for size limits.
Can I take a pet on this ferry?
Most ferry operators allow pets on this route, usually in a carrier, on deck or in designated pet areas or cabins, and registered assistance dogs travel free. Rules and any fees vary by operator and vessel — check with Snelandia, so declare your pet when booking.
What's the luggage allowance?
Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
