About the Helgøy ferjekai – Nord-Hidle ferjekai crossing
Seven minutes, 1.2 nautical miles, 67 sailings a week — and a day that starts at 05:30 and ends at 23:10, which is a seventeen-and-a-half-hour operating window for a crossing that takes as long as boiling a kettle.
Sixteen departures across three day patterns. The first and last sailings are what matter here: they define whether someone can live on the island and work off it.
These are the Ryfylke islands north-east of Stavanger, where Kolumbus runs a network of small ferries and fast boats through a maze of sounds. Nord-Hidle is best known for Flor og Fjære, a garden created on a bare island where palms and subtropical planting survive because the Gulf Stream reaches this coast — a summer business that a seven-minute ferry makes possible.

How much does a ticket cost?

Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings run daily, 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?
Kolumbus 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 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.
