Ellingsøya used to be accessible from the town of Ålesund only by boat or by road via Skodje Municipality, but the undersea Ellingsøy Tunnel was built in 1987 connecting Ellingsøy to Ålesund (to the south) and the Valderøy Tunnel was also built connecting Ellingsøy to the nearby island of Valderøya in Giske Municipality to the west.[2] The tunnels are accessed in the village of Hoffland on the southwestern part of the island. The 3,481-metre (11,421 ft) long tunnel was upgraded in 2007.[3][4]
Ellingsøya has an association football team, Ellingsøy IL, which currently plays in the 5th division in Norway.
