About the Tau ferjekai – Fister hurtigbåtkai crossing
Fister is connected to Tau by a single Kolumbus ferry service that takes 1 hour to cross the 8 nautical miles. This domestic Norwegian sailing departs once weekly, leaving Tau at 14:55 on Wednesdays. The journey is priced under the national AutoPASS system, which bases fares on vehicle length.
The alternative to this direct crossing involves a significant detour by road. Driving around the network of fjords requires using the Ryfylke Tunnel and National Road 13, a journey of approximately 45 kilometres that typically takes longer than the ferry crossing.
