About the Hellesøy båtkai – Hernar båtkai crossing
07:55, Monday to Friday, and nothing at the weekend. A single departure covering 2 nautical miles in 15 minutes out to Hernar, one of the outermost inhabited islands off the Hordaland coast.
An early boat with no partner
Five sailings a week, all at the same hour, all in the morning. There is no afternoon or evening service, so the return runs on a different schedule and needs checking separately.
Fifteen minutes for two miles
The pace suggests a call on the way rather than a direct run. Out here the boats commonly serve several small landings before reaching the last one.
Current plan
The departure is listed to 11 December 2026. With nothing on Saturday or Sunday, a weekend on Hernar means arriving on Friday and staying until Monday.
