From iconic views at North Cape to delicious king crab, experience the highlights of Honningsvåg.

Highlights

Stand at the edge of the cliffs and marvel at the ocean views from North Cape

Learn about and sample delicious King Crab from the Barents Sea in Sarnes

How it works

You’ll travel by bus above the 71st parallel to the North Cape – a dramatic clifftop plateau at the very top of continental Europe. In summer, reindeer often graze along the way.

Standing on the edge of the North Cape, you can marvel at the stunning ocean views and take photos by the iconic globe monument. While you’re there, why not visit North Cape Hall to watch a movie showcasing the region throughout the seasons or pick up a souvenir at the shop.

You’ll then head to the village of Sarnes, where you'll discover one of the area's great local delicacies – king crab. You’ll enjoy a tasting served the traditional way with soft bread, mayonnaise and a slice of lemon.
