The Hvaler Islands

The largest place on the islands is Skjærhalden on Kirkøy. At Skjærhalden, you will find shops, restaurants and guest harbour. Outer Hvaler National Park exhibition centre is located in Kornmagasinet, and the kids may meet King Neptune in the Lilleputt Pool by the quayside. You get here either by boat, public transport or by car. There is a ferry connection from Skjærhalden to Nordre and Søndre Sandøy, Herføl and Lauer, and a coastal ferry to Strømstad.
