How to get there
Important info: Hovden airport will be closed for four weeks over the summer – meaning you will need to fly to Ålesund (yes, there will be boat transport to Bjørke!). If you’ve already booked a flight please contact Widerøe for refunds (you will not want to fly to Sandane if they suggest that – if so they’ll have to make sure they get you to Bjørke).
The below info is for 2022, travel info for 2023 will be updated soon. Do contact us on info@indiefjord.com if you have any questions.

Boat (and bus) transport to/from Bjørke!
We’re (not) gonna need a bigger boat! This is *not* the boat you’ll be taking to Bjørke on Friday 8 July, but Daniel Storeide‘s magnificent smaller boat. We’ve got space for 10 more people as of now, so make sure you book as soon as possible. This is perfect for people living in Ålesund, too!

The boat leaves Solavågen Ferjekai at 19.00 (boat) and arrives in Bjørke at approx 20.30 – then you can go straight to the welcome party or go by your hostel/campsite.
Indiefjord Dad Ivar Mork will be giving you a guided tour of the Hjørundfjord!

One lucky passenger gets a FREE boat/bus return ticket! Would you like a free boat/bus ticket to/from Bjørke? Then we’d love it if you could pick up one of our indie stars 18.30 on Friday and drive him to Solavåg where you can both get on the boat at 19.00. The boat will wait for you!
