On the water, the season shows in sea conditions and availability more than in comfort: book early for summer, Easter and holiday weekends between Gdansk and Hel, and choose morning sailings when the wind is forecast.

Ferry or flight from Gdansk to Hel?

For most passengers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Gdansk and lands you in Hel itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours offers flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

How much does the ferry from Gdansk to Hel cost?

Ferry prices from Gdansk to Hel move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we verify the fare for the day you want to sail and send it in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.

Timetable and season of the Gdansk to Hel ferry

Daily in summer - that is how frequently the ferry from Gdansk to Hel runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 2 hours at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for the date you travel rather than a list that may be out of date.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Gdańsk Green Gate pier

Your crossing starts at Gdańsk Green Gate pier. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. A commuter railway and city buses link the airport with the centre, and they are good for light luggage; a private car is simpler to Sopot or Gdynia, for the ferry terminal, for Malbork and Hel, and for early flights.

• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the operator's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Gdańsk Green Gate pier; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Gdansk to the port on request

Arrival: Hel pier

The ferry docks at Hel pier - Hel is the town at the tip of the Hel Peninsula, with a seal sanctuary, a long beach and a fishing museum. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from the port to your accommodation in Hel with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Gdansk to Hel crossing.

Many travellers continue from Hel to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Things to do in Hel after the ferry

Hel is the town at the tip of the Hel Peninsula, with a seal sanctuary, a long beach and a fishing museum. Start with Suomenlinna sea fortress, Market Square and Old Market Hall and Rock Church, then Uspenski Cathedral and Oodi Central Library. A tip from our desk: Helsinki Airport has Terminals ١ and ٢; give us your airline and flight number, and if your hotel is on a pedestrian or tram-only street, say so, since the driver then uses the nearest drop-off point.

We offer tours and transfers in Hel as well as the ferry ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.
