About the Finnkroken hurtigbåtkai – Vannvåg kai crossing
17:45 on Tuesdays and Fridays, and nothing before 14 August 2026. The listing opens mid-month and runs to 18 December.
Twenty-seven knots over 18.3 nautical miles
40 minutes across the Ullsfjord and Grøtsundet waters north of Tromsø. This is a long crossing by local standards and the speed is what makes it a connection rather than an expedition.
Late afternoon, twice a week
Quarter to six on two non-consecutive days. Vannvåg is on Vannøya, one of the outer Karlsøy islands; Finnkroken is on Reinøya, closer in. Neither has an alternative on this pairing.
Eighteen weeks, thirty-six sailings
That is the whole of it. On a route with two boats a week the day of travel is not a preference, it is the plan.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Svipper app tickets
- Cash-free boats & buses
- Sommerbilletten summer pass

Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.

Can I take a pet on this ferry?

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.
