Plan for this trip

This day we took a day trip out to Kvitsøy, an island located in the middle of the Boknafjorden between Randaberg and Karmøy. The ferry trip from Mekjarvik takes about 35 minutes.

Kvitsøy has a lot of history attached to it, both in the form of cultural monuments and traditions.

The biggest sights on the island are Kvitsøy Lighthouse, Kvitsøy Church, Steinkorset, Kvitsøy Traffic Station and the Lobster Museum.
