The local ferry goes to the islands Herføl, Søndre Sandøy and Nordre Sandøy.  

Here is the timetable for the Hvaler ferry. The ferry has a booking system, and trips must be booked according to the timetable.

• Departures marked with "b" in the timetable must be booked in advance to ensure that the ferry calls at/from Herføl, Nedgården, Sanne, Gravningsund and Lauer on the relevant departures. No other seat reservations are required.
• Space for vehicles and goods must be booked in advance on all departures. This does not apply to bicycles.
• The ferry is free for passengers all year round, and also for vehicles during the autumn and winter seasons. In spring and summer, a fee applies for vehicles.
• Book at least 1 hour before departure from Skjærhalden.
• You can find the booking page at hvalerferga.ostfold-kollektiv.no or call customer service +47 69 11 71 10​​

You may bring a car on the ferry, but driving and parking options on the islands are very limited. We encourage travellers to leave their vehicles behind to help preserve the peaceful character of the islands.

Please note that driving and parking of cars or other motor vehicles is only permitted on roads and areas classified as cultivated land (innmark).

The eastern islands of Hvaler are all special in their own way. On the saga island of Herføl you can take in spectacular nature, see burial mounds from the Bronze Age and cauldrons. Søndre and Nordre Sandøy are excellent to explore by bike, both have two stops with nice gravel roads in between and do not forget to pack your swimwear!
