About the Bia kai – Kvalfjord kai crossing
09:15 and 19:20, four days a week, and nothing at all on Monday or at the weekend. The crossing covers 0.4 nautical miles in 10 minutes in western Finnmark.
Ten hours apart
A morning and an evening boat on the same four days gives a full day at the far side and a way back. On a four-day route that pairing is what makes the service usable rather than merely present.
Ten minutes for four-tenths of a mile
The distance is short and the time is not, which on this coast reflects the approach rather than the water. Combined passenger and goods boats here work to the quay, not to the clock.
A summer-into-winter plan
The listed departures run from 21 June to 31 December 2026. Monday is the day to watch: nothing runs on it in either direction.

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.
