About the Nord-Hidle ferjekai – Eidssund ferjekai crossing

Eidssund is a crossing of just 2 nautical miles from Nord-Hidle, served exclusively by the public transport authority Kolumbus. Fourteen daily sailings are scheduled, with the first departure at 05:37 and the last at 23:17. The service operates every day.

Timetables and Duration

Kolumbus timetables show a crossing time that varies between 18 minutes and 23 minutes depending on the specific vessel and schedule. This short duration reflects the directness of the route across the channel separating the two islands. The journey is a component of a multi-stop local network connecting several islands in the area.

Booking and Alternatives

Fares fall under the Norwegian AutoPASS road-ferry pricing system, where vehicles are charged based on length. Without this ferry link, travel between the islands of Hidle and Talgje would require a significant detour via the mainland and other island bridges. From both Nord-Hidle and Eidssund, Kolumbus also operates services to Judaberg and Helgøy.

Vehicles, pets & onboard

  • Mobile tickets (Kolumbus app)
  • Zone-based fares
  • Kolumbuskort travelcard
  • Battery-electric fast ferry (Medstraum)

Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
