Onward Connections
Both ports serve as interchanges for other local routes. From the terminal at Rødøy, onward fast ferry services connect to Bolga, Jektvik, Myken, Sundøy, Telnes, and Vågaholmen. This makes it a key transit point for reaching several other islands and mainland connections.
From Gjerøy, passengers can connect to a continuing service onward to Selsøyvik. Fares for the Rødøy-Gjerøy leg fall under the Norwegian AutoPASS system, which primarily charges for vehicles based on length; foot passengers on many such local routes travel without charge.
