About the Varaldsøy ferjekaiGjermundshamn ferjekai crossing

Sixteen departures a day, 58 sailings a week, 2.2 nautical miles in fifteen minutes, running 06:25 to 20:30 on six day patterns.

Varaldsøy has two ferry routes — this one and a night-running link to Årsnes — which for an island of a couple of hundred people is a considerable allocation of county resources.

Gjermundshamn is on the Kvinnherad mainland, where the road towards Bergen begins. The two crossings do different jobs: Årsnes is the short hop that runs through the small hours, Gjermundshamn is the connection towards the city. An island with no bridge needs both, and Vestland county funds both as public road.

Frequently asked questions

Can I book the return crossing too?

How many sailings run each day?

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.

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?

Skyss 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 Skyss, 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.
