About the Utne båtkai – Herand båtkai crossing
17:15, every day, until the end of September. One departure covering 8.8 nautical miles in 30 minutes from Utne across to Herand.
Late afternoon, not morning
The opposite direction leaves at 09:23. Together the two make a day possible on either shore — out in the morning, back in the late afternoon, or the reverse depending on which side you start.
Nine miles in half an hour
Passenger-boat pace on a fjord where the road runs a long way round. Utne sits at the junction of the Hardangerfjord and the Sørfjord, which makes it a natural crossing point.
The season closes on 30 September
Nothing is timetabled beyond that date. These fjord passenger services work the summer; the car ferries and the road carry the year.
