Express boat from Ålesund to Hareid
The express boat between Ålesund and Hareid, calling at Valderøya, is Sunnmøre's busiest sea-commuter route: a short half hour across the fjord mouth linking the Art Nouveau town to southern Sunnmøre. From Hareid the buses roll on towards Ulsteinvik and the shipyard towns — boat and bus work as one system here.
