Boknafjord, Norwegian fjord in Rogaland County, Norway

The Boknafjord extends inland for 45 kilometers from the North Sea, reaching depths of 350 meters between Stavanger and Haugesund.

Throughout centuries, this fjord system has served as a primary maritime route connecting multiple coastal settlements in southwestern Norway's Rogaland region.

Multiple municipalities along the Boknafjord maintain traditional fishing practices while adapting to modern maritime industries and transportation needs.

Regular ferry services connect the different islands within the fjord, including Kvitsøy, Rennesøy, Finnøy, and the Sjernarøyane archipelago.

The Rogfast tunnel project, scheduled for completion in 2029, will create a 24-kilometer underwater passage beneath the Boknafjord waters.
