About the Hardbakke kai – Lågøy kai crossing
Two departures with nothing in common: 11:00 Monday to Friday, 16:50 on Saturdays. Different hour, different days, and Sunday has neither.
Five minutes, distance not listed
Our data holds no distance for this crossing. Given the timing it is a short hop among the Solund islands, the westernmost municipality on the Norwegian mainland — but the figure is missing rather than small, and worth treating as unknown.
Six sailings a week
Five weekday boats and one on Saturday. The Saturday sailing is nearly six hours later than the weekday one, which makes it a different kind of trip rather than the same trip on another day.
23 July to 12 December 2026
Hardbakke is the administrative centre of Solund and the connection point for the boats working the outer islands. Lågøy is one of them.

How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Skyss for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?

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.
Can I take a car on this ferry?
Skyss does not list vehicle space on this service — plan to travel as a foot passenger. If you need to bring a car, check with the operator for alternative crossings.
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 Skyss, 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.
