Timetable and Fares
The short 3-nautical-mile journey across the Vistenfjord is part of the Norwegian road network. As such, pricing is determined by the AutoPASS for ferje system. This national scheme bases vehicle fares on length, while foot passengers can often travel without charge. The timetable integrates this ferry with other local services, connecting Kilvågen with Strandbukta and Visthus.
From Visten, onward connections by sea are available to Aursletta and Strandbukta, in addition to the return service. The high frequency of sailings within its afternoon and evening operating window means travellers have multiple options each day. The limited duration of the crossing itself makes it a quick link in the regional transport system.
