Ferry Gryllefjord - Andenes

Could you give me a time table for the ferry Gryllefjord - Andenes in july 2010 ?? We are planning a round trip by car in Northern Norway, inclusive Vesterålen and Lofoten.

Hi!
Time schedule is available here:

I live in Gryllefjord, so just ask if you need any more information!

Best regards,
Vegard

Hi!
Are there any ferries working in march 2011??? Or
any other possibility to cross the sea between Gryllefjord and Andenes??? After what I saw on the internet, life seems to stop itself during winter…

Hello Vegard-I am trying to find a place to stay in or near Grylleford.  Can you help?  thanks, Judith

Hi!
I’m sorry for this terrible late reply!

@Corentin: The ferry between Gryllefjord and Andenes is only running in summer (late May to late August). This year’s time table is available here:
http://www.senjafergene.no/index-en.htm

I’m afraid there is no other way to cross the sea. Look for routes by car in Google Maps.

@Judith: In Gryllefjord, there is only one option, “Kaikanten”. Check out their web pages: http://www.kaikanten.org/english.htm

In Torsken, 7 kilometres from Gryllefjord, you will find “Eidebrygga”:

“Hamn i Senja” is situated 17 kilometres from Gryllefjord:

If any of you have further questions, don’t hesitate asking me! I’ll promise to keep an eye on this thread ;-)

Kind regards,
Vegard

Vegard, just the one! We are hoping to drive around Senja. What accommodation is available and can we hire bikes. What do you do in Gryllefjord?

Hi Liz!
For accommodation in Gryllefjord, there is only “Kaikanten” to choose among. Take a look at their websites: http://www.kaikanten.org/english.htm

For accommodation near Gryllefjord (some of them, at least) take a look at my post above, it should be up to date.

“Hamn i Senja” is near Gryllefjord, and is very popular. I don’t think they have bikes for rent, but I think they offer kayaks, as well as boat trips. Probably diving too. Everything is new and modern (rebuilt and finished 2008), and is located in marvelous nature.

Kaikanten in Gryllefjord offers boats for hire too (with or without a guide, I suppose) if you want to go fishing.

In addition, Senja in general has fantastic nature, and perhaps a mountain walk may be in your interest?

Take a look at the websites of “Hamn i Senja” for their recommendation of activities and facilities.

I’m sure you want to visit Senjatrollet when you are on Senja:

And, have a look at http://www.senjafergene.no/index-en.htm for the time schedule of the ferries to and from Senja.

What I do in Gryllefjord? Well… Good question. I’m from Gryllefjord, so I have lived here more or less all my life. In the last few years, I have only lived here in the weekends and holidays, since I’m studying.

If I can help you with more information, just leave a message – I will continue to keep an eye on this thread, and I will be glad to help!

Kind regards,
Vegard
