Highlights
  • Hornvika - Embark on a journey to the world’s northernmost fishing village.

Encounter live king crabs and even hold them yourself!

The boat ride takes you through stunning fjords leading to the North Cape. Along the way, you’ll witness breathtaking nature, view the North Cape from the sea, and spot Arctic wildlife.

We disembark at Hornvika, the original entrance to the North Cape, used by royalty since the 1500s.

Explore centuries-old cabins and take in the incredible views. Then, embark on a spectacular hike up a steep trail, enjoying a locally made sandwich along the way.

Once at the cape, you’ll have free time to explore. We also organize a ceremony where you’ll receive a certificate and champagne to commemorate your visit.

After about 2 hours at the cape, we drive you back.

  • North Cape - Enjoy free time at the North Cape to explore this landmark, visit the museum, watch the panorama film, shop, dine, and take in the views. We offer a guided tour if you wish to join, but you can also enjoy free time after our celebratory ceremony with certificates and champagne.

Afterward, we drive you back over a scenic mountain pass, where you can relax in a small vehicle while the guide shares insights about the Arctic surroundings. You’ll see reindeer, mountain lakes, and fjord views. We ensure timely return to your cruise if you’re traveling by one.

  • Skarsvag - Spend up to an hour in the world’s northernmost fishing village, home to about 40 residents. Our adventure starts at our center, where you can see and hold king crabs before we dress you for a 20-minute RIB boat ride to our destination.

The journey offers magnificent mountain views, a sea view of the North Cape, and opportunities to spot wildlife like eagles, puffins, seals, and possibly whales or dolphins. Enjoy the Arctic waterfront as we travel to Hornvika, the original North Cape entrance for old sailors.

  • Honningsvag - Our standard pick-up and drop-off location is Honningsvag harbor, at the tourism information building. If you need a different pick-up location, please contact us directly after booking, and we’ll make the arrangements.
