Kristiansund Airport at Kvernberget serves Kristiansund and the coastal part of Nordmøre. It is useful for the island town, nearby coastal communities and touring routes toward Averøy and the Atlantic Road.
Rental cars are available for a road trip, while travelers staying in Kristiansund can arrange a local transfer. Check ferry legs before committing to an island itinerary, since the apparent distance across a fjord can be misleading. Molde Airport is a separate gateway farther southwest.
