About the Norheimsund båtkai – Herand båtkai crossing
09:00, every day, until the end of September. A single departure covering 7.1 nautical miles in 23 minutes between Norheimsund and Herand on the Hardangerfjord.
Nine in the morning, and nothing else
One sailing means the day is built around it. There is no afternoon option and no evening return on this pairing, so the journey back runs on a different service or by road.
Seven miles in twenty-three minutes
That is passenger-boat pace rather than car-ferry pace. Herand is a small village on the eastern shore, and the water route is considerably shorter than the road around the fjord arm.
The season closes on 30 September
Nothing is timetabled beyond that date. Hardanger passenger boats work the summer; the road is the year-round connection.
