How to Get There

We meet at our office, 20 minutes before departure. If you come by car, you will find paid car parks nearby.

If you are staying on Kvaløya, please plan more time to get to the meeting point, as there are often traffic jams from Kvaløya to the main island. For the same reason, it will probably take longer to find parking near the meeting point.
