Frequently asked questions

Is this a domestic or international route?

Domestic — the whole crossing stays within Norway.

When's the last ferry of the day?

The last sailing leaves at 17:50.

Who runs this ferry crossing?

Skyss.

How long, roughly, is the crossing?

About 35m under normal conditions.

How many times a day does it sail?

Can I book the return crossing too?

Yes, check the return route for its own times and fares.

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?

A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 35m and several sailings a day (first 10:10, last 17:50), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.

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?

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.
