Do you want tips for things to do in Solund? Here you will find an overview of day trips

The Solund archipelago is just two hours from Bergen and is linked to the classified road network by ferries between Rutledal in Gulen, Rysjedalsvika in Hyllestad to Krakhella in Solund.

In Solund, you can experience the westernmost islands in Norway and see the spectacular landscape of thousands of islands, islets and skerries. The local post boat in Solund links the island communities together, delivering post and transporting the islanders from one island to the next. In summer, you can take the local post boat to Solund, Bulandet and Værlandet. Island hopping and cycling make for a great combination, and you can cycle on quiet roads that offer lovely scenic views.
