Timetable and Connections
This crossing covers a distance of approximately 12 nautical miles. The limited schedule, with service only on two days of the week, requires careful planning for any round trips. Both ports serve as connection points for other local passenger ferry routes within the Ryfylke region. Sand offers onward services to Ropeid and Sauda, while Hebnes connects to Foldøy and Nedstrand, among others.

Pricing is determined by the Norwegian AutoPASS system, which is standard for most road-ferry connections in the country.
