About the Urke hurtigbåtkai – Geiranger ferjekai crossing
Two hours and ten minutes to cover 18.8 nautical miles. That works out at under nine knots, which is not how an express boat travels — it is how a boat travels when the point is the water it is crossing.
12:15, every day, until 31 August
One departure daily through the summer. The window opened on 1 June and closes at the end of August; nothing on this pairing is timetabled for September.
Urke sits on the Hjørundfjord
The village is a stop on the way rather than a destination, and Geiranger is at the head of the arm the UNESCO listing covers. The slow pace and the midday hour together describe a sightseeing run, not a link.
Booking ahead
Sailings that exist for three months and run once a day fill up in July and August. There is no second boat if the first is full.

About Geirangerfjord
Most ferries in this guide are a way of getting somewhere. The one between Geiranger and Hellesylt is the thing you came for. It runs sixty-five minutes down a UNESCO-listed fjord past the Seven Sisters waterfall and the abandoned cliff farms, it goes more than thirty times in our timetable, and it is priced as public transport because that is what it is.
