Getting There & Around
How to Get to Harøya
Ferry services connect Harøya to the mainland and neighbouring islands; check the county’s ferry schedule for times. Driving to the island and using the car ferry is the usual approach.
Tips for Visiting Harøya
- Check ferry timetables in advance - island connections in Møre og Romsdal can be sparse in off-season.
- Bring warm clothing and waterproof layers; seas in the Norwegian Sea can change quickly.
- Walk the island's minor roads rather than driving if one wants to experience local birdlife and coastline views.
