How to travel to Kvarøy?

Ten minutes away from the mainland at Tonnes is a FREE zone where everyone says hello to everyone. This is a place where both the active and the quiet can thrive and unwind.

Travel by public transport

You can take the car ferry directly to Kvarøy from Tonnes six days a week. All days except Saturday.

The fast ferry Nordlandsekspressen, NEX or ækspræssn as we call it, visits Kvarøy on south and northbound routes. This makes it possible to travel from Sandnessjøen and Bodø straight to Kvarøy.

Within the municipality, there is the Nesøy speedboat that runs around. This stops by in the morning and afternoon, and some days in the morning as well.

These boats make it possible to get to Kvarøy, and not least to visit several places in Lurøy and Rødøy while you’re here or passing through.

Via the website reisnordland.no you can search for your itinerary by speedboat, ferry and bus. Here you can also buy tickets in advance and check that the departure is on time.

Flexible travel

If you can’t find a time that suits you to travel by public transport, we have a shuttle boat on Kvarøy. With us, you can book transportation together with your accommodation so that you can travel at a time that suits you better.

Our shuttle boat takes 12 people and has plenty of space for luggage. The journey between Tonnes and Kvarøy takes less than 10 minutes. We’ll pick you up at Tonnes Marina, more specifically the southern harbor almost all the way out on the pier. There’s free parking and little traffic, so your car can be left in peace while you’re on an island vacation.
