About the Sunde båtkai – Leirvik båtkai crossing
Leirvik is reached from Sunde via a crossing of approximately 7 nautical miles. The operator for this route is Skyss, which schedules four daily sailings across the Hardangerfjord. This domestic Norwegian service runs every day, with the earliest departure at 06:23 and the final one at 17:26. Fares are determined by the AutoPASS system, with pricing based on vehicle length.
Sunde to Leirvik Sailing Durations
Skyss completes the crossing in as little as 19 minutes on its fastest scheduled run. The longest duration listed in the timetable is only two minutes more, at 21 minutes. Most journeys are timed at 20 minutes port to port. The minimal variation in sailing times means there is little practical difference between the four daily departures.
This direct ferry provides a significant time saving over the alternative road journey. Driving between the two ports involves a detour of around 85 kilometers, which typically takes over 1 hour and 30 minutes. The ferry eliminates this lengthy land travel, substituting it with a sub-21-minute water transit.
