Car ferry between Fiskebøl ferjekai and Melbu ferjekai with 2 stops in Nordland. Travel time approx. 25 minutes. Departures Mon-Fri + Sat + Sun.

Across Hadselfjorden this ferry joins Vesterålen to Lofoten: Melbu on Hadseløya on one side, Fiskebøl on Austvågøya with the E10 close at hand on the other. Melbu grew up around the fishing industry, and that history lives on in the old herring-oil works that now house a museum. The fjord is not wide, but the divide is real — you drive ashore into a different island world.
