Experience the magnificent sights and culture of Troms and Finnmark County. Starting in Honningsvåg, we’ll journey through gorgeous scenery while our guide tells us about local history.

Then, we’ll stop at the village of Skarsvåg and visit the cozy ‘Christmas and Winter House’. Amid festive music and rooms sparkling with decorations, peruse a range of locally produced items. You’ll also enjoy a hot drink and slice of cake.

Next, we’ll head to the world’s northernmost fishing village, Kamøyvær. We’ll will explore this picturesque harbor, which is bustling with fishermen and a small fishing fleet. You’ll also visit the quaint gallery of artist Eva Schmutterer. The exhibition displays handicrafts inspired by the surrounding landscape.

Weather permitting, we’ll stop at the Tufjord viewpoint to get a glimpse of the ‘Hornet.’ This natural rock formation is a sacred place for the Sámi people.
