About the Songesand hurtigbåtkai – Bakken hurtigbåtkai crossing
The Norwegian ports of Songesand and Bakken are separated by a 1-nautical-mile crossing that takes just 5 minutes. Kolumbus operates this domestic service as a component of the local public transport network in the Lysefjord area. The route is part of a multi-stop service connecting several small communities along the fjord that lack direct road access.
There are 3 daily sailings on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, with the first departure at 07:55 and the last at 18:55. Pricing is integrated into Norway's AutoPASS system, which primarily charges vehicles by length. From Songesand, a separate ferry connects to Kalleli, while Bakken also has services to Bratteli.
