About the Borgundøy båtkai – Leirvik båtkai crossing
Leirvik on the island of Stord is reached from Borgundøy via a domestic ferry across the Hardangerfjord. The 7-nautical-mile crossing is handled exclusively by the operator Skyss. Four sailings are scheduled daily, with the first departure at 05:40 and the last at 16:40.
Timetables and Crossing Duration
Skyss uses several vessels on this route, leading to minor variations in journey time. The fastest crossings are timetabled at 20 minutes, while others take 23 or 25 minutes to complete the trip. This direct connection offers a significant time saving over any potential drive-around route, which would involve other, longer ferry crossings to circumvent the fjord systems.
Route Pricing and Alternatives
Fares are determined by the Norwegian AutoPASS system, which bases prices on vehicle length; foot passengers may travel without charge. While Leirvik is the most direct connection, Skyss also operates services from Borgundøy to other nearby ports including Fjelbergøy, Skånevik, and Sunde. Leirvik itself is a larger hub with onward connections to locations such as Hufthamar and Ranavik.
