About the Eidssund hurtigbåtkaiHalsnøy hurtigbåtkai crossing

Halsnøy is reached from Eidssund in 5 minutes. Kolumbus operates this 2-nautical-mile crossing across the Boknafjord. The route serves as a direct link between the island of Ombo and the island of Halsnøy in the Ryfylke archipelago.

Schedules and Alternatives

Eleven sailings are scheduled every day, with the first departure at 06:00 and the last at 18:10. This high frequency and very short duration make the service a practical local connector. It replaces a drive of several hours that would involve using the Finnfast and Mastrafjord tunnels to reach the mainland before taking other ferries.

Both ports offer onward connections. From Eidssund, hurtigbåt (fast ferry) services link to Byre, Helgøy, Hjelmeland, Jelsa, Nesheim, and Nord-Hidle. Halsnøy provides separate ferry links to Byre, Fister, Judaberg, and Sør-Bokn. Pricing is determined by the Norwegian AutoPASS system, which charges vehicles by length.

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 Kolumbus, 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.
