About the Tomma ferjekai – Handnesøya ferjekai crossing
The earliest boat leaves at twenty to six in the morning, Monday to Friday. On a crossing of 1.5 nautical miles that takes 10 minutes, that hour is not about distance — it is about getting islanders onto the mainland before a working day begins.
Seven sailings, three patterns
Five run every day, from 08:45 to 19:00. One runs Monday to Saturday at 07:10, and the 05:40 departure is weekdays only. There is nothing after seven in the evening on any day.
An early start and an early finish
A last boat at 19:00 is unusual for a Norwegian island link, most of which run into the late evening. Here the day closes early, which means an evening on the mainland is not available without staying over.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 31 January 2027. Nordland reissues its ferry timetables on fixed dates rather than adjusting them through the season.

Roughly 10m.

Can I book the return crossing too?

How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Nordland fylkeskommune for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 10m and several sailings a day (first 05:40, last 19:00), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings run daily, and frequency can change between the summer and winter seasons. The timetable above shows the latest published departures — confirm with the operator for off-season dates.
Can I take a car on this ferry?
Nordland fylkeskommune does not list vehicle space on this service — plan to travel as a foot passenger. If you need to bring a car, check with the operator for alternative crossings.
Can I take a pet on this ferry?
Most ferry operators allow pets on this route, usually in a carrier, on deck or in designated pet areas or cabins, and registered assistance dogs travel free. Rules and any fees vary by operator and vessel — check with Nordland fylkeskommune, so declare your pet when booking.
What's the luggage allowance?
Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
