Randsfjordferja is the only Year-Round Inland Ferry in Norway.The ferry that takes up to 16 cars and 49 passengers, has saved people from Hadeland and other travellers for countless hours of driving. If you arrive from the north or the south on highway RV 4, the transportation offer is highly to be recommended. Besides saving time and money, you’ll get a short, but pleasant fjord experience. In addition to being a connecting link, the ferry is perfect for all who take a round trip by car or bicycle.

The round trip takes about 3,5 hours, with a guided tour at Grip. Grip has a long and stirring history so far back that the origin of the name is unknown. However we are certain that it was the abundance of fish in the sea surrounding these islands that lured the first inhabitants to Grip. Until 1964 Grip was the smallest municipality in Norway, but is today part of Kristiansund.

The Cable Car is Tromsø’s most popular tourist destination. It runs from Solliveien in Tromsdalen up to the mountain ledge Storsteinen. The lower station is located on Tromsø’s mainland, 50 m above sea level, while the upper station, Fjellstua, is situated at an altitude of 421 m above sea level. The trip up takes just four minutes. From the large outdoor terrace, you can enjoy the spectacular panoramic view of Tromsø and the virtually endless sight of islands, fjords, mountains and the open sea. Fjellheisen was built in 1961 by Brød­rene Jakob­sens Rederi, a local shipping company that was a major player in arctic hunting/trapping, fishing and expeditions to the arc­tic and Antarctic. The gondolas proudly convey this tradition by bearing the shipping company’s symbols: the polar bear and the seal.

This car ferry goes all-year between Solvorn and Ornes. The schedule in the summertime is different than in the winter, so check out the web-page. 90 passengers and 10 cars (depending on size..) is the capacity, and it is often advisable to be in the ferry-queue early. Fun-fact: all cars must go in reverse when the ferry is loading! But not to worry, -the crew will guide you (and also drive the car for you if you wish) Good service - remarkable view and a worth while experience :)

Sundbaten - The world’s oldest public transport service in uninterrupted use. Part of Kristiansund’s cultural heritage and the world’s oldest means of public transport still in use. The first passenger boat service started up in 1876. These small passenger ferries depart from the Piren pier at the foot of Kaibakken hill and run between the four «lands», as the four areas of Kristiansund are called. A roundtrip with the Sundbaten is a great way to experience Kristiansund. Explore different parts of the town with churches, galleries, klipfish museum and a vivid harbour life. Enjoy one of Kristiansunds strongest cultural monument at a very low price. A round trip takes approx. 15-20 minutes and it makes a nice sightseeing tour of the harbour and surrounding area. On request, the Sundbaten is available for charter and harbour sightseeing / guided tours.
