About the Vibrandsøy hurtigbåtkaiKveitevik hurtigbåtkai crossing

Fifteen minutes is the scheduled crossing time for the domestic Norwegian ferry service connecting Vibrandsøy with Kveitevik. This short transit covers a distance of approximately two nautical miles.

Kolumbus provides five sailings in each direction every day of the week. The first departure from Vibrandsøy is scheduled for 10:05, with the final crossing of the day at 16:55.

How much does a ticket cost?

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?

Kolumbus 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 Kolumbus, 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.
