Fares and Connections
Pricing for the journey is determined by the Norwegian AutoPASS road-ferry system. This structure typically means foot passengers travel without charge, while vehicles are billed based on their length. The AutoPASS system is automated, using number plate recognition or a transponder tag to process the fare.
The port of Kjøtta also provides connections to Harstad hurtigbåtkai and Krøttøy hurtigbåtkai. From Sandsøy, onward ferry services are available to Bjarkøy hurtigbåtkai and Harstad hurtigbåtkai. This route forms part of a local network of short-sea crossings in the region.

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 Svipper, 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.
