To get to Nólsoy, the M/F Ritan makes the 20-minute journey from Tórshavn several times per day. The ferry departs Tórshavn from the Bursatangi dock in the eastern harbor, about 150 meters (yards) from the bus station. Fare is Kr20 each way; pay on the boat. 4 and 7-day Travel Card valid.
One warning: on Tuesdays (and sometimes Thursdays) there are no late morning or afternoon journeys; the first afternoon trip departs Nólsoy at 4:45 PM. Study the timetable carefully before departing. When in doubt, ask for advice at the Tórshavn bus station, or at the tourist office in Nólsoy.

The boat to Nolsoy leaves from the harbour in Torshavn just down from the main terminal.
There are about 4 crossings a day.
It can be quite rough as it's quite a small boat, but the crossing is only 20 minutes so even the most queasy should be ok in all but the roughest of weather.

Nolsoy is the island across the bay from Torshavn. It's about a 20 minute boat trip away so makes for a great day trip. As you'd expect, it's much quieter than Torshavn, and the pace of life seems......
