About the Malkenes båtkai – Snilstveitøy båtkai crossing
Three day patterns for seven weekly sailings, all weighted to the end of the week: Saturday alone, Saturday-and-Sunday, and Thursday through Sunday. Monday to Wednesday have nothing.
Three departures cover 12:20 to 20:05 over 9.9 nautical miles, at 25 to 30 minutes.
Snilstveitøy is a small island in the Hardangerfjord's southern reaches, in Kvinnherad, with a handful of households. Malkenes is on the Tysnes side. A route that runs Thursday to Sunday and nothing else describes a place where most of the houses are used at weekends and the permanent population no longer fills a weekday boat. The Folgefonna icecap stands on the mainland behind both quays, the third-largest glacier in Norway.
