This tour got cancelled the day before our visit to Honningsvag. The operator's reason was, "this tour does not match up with the cruise ship." Even though the ship was in port from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
We booked the tour in English; the bus driver is also the tour guide and makes her announcements in English, the ongoing loudspeaker announcements are in English and German, very amusing and informatively phrased. Despite the rather modest weather, the tour was entertaining. The 10-minute stop with the Sami with the opportunity for shopping is a matter of taste. The tour was perfectly organized; the meeting point and boarding the bus is right at the harbor terminal and cannot be missed. Thanks to the team!
Super small group excursion to the Sami, North Cape, and king crabs
We were extremely disappointed by this trip. We haven't seen the promised seed family. It was a short stop at the gift shop where you could buy souvenirs. Two seeds were present, but they did not tell of their culture or their lives. Reindeer was not seen either, children were very disappointed.
Bernadette was a terrific guide and bus driver. Excellent tour. Suggestion: clearer instructions needed on meeting point as there was much confusion with many individuals as to the exact location and which sign to meet/ stand at.
Great trip with a fantastic audio including great humour to explain the way of life. North Cape is well worth a visit inside and out
It was a nice tour. When we reached the top, we should hav been told to see the move first. We spent a lot of time outdoors so we didn’t have enough time to complete the movie. We also didn’t have a lot of time at Sami Village. The tour should have ben an hour longer.
The North Cape was very special. Hence my two stars. The commentary was funny and entertaining. That's the positive. The Negatives are that firstly, the Sami Families and Reindeer visit is a very unhappy Reindeer tethered to a pole at the side of a road with a shack in a layby selling souvenirs. We refused to get out for the stop as we did not want to support this cruel exploitation of Reindeers. Seeing them roam free was far better! We were told we would have one hour at the cape. This would have been more than enough as there is little there. We were dropped of and the coach left to pick up another group. We were there 2 and a half hours and gort back to our ship 10 mins before boarding ended! The communication prior to the trip was awful. We received no tickets and I had to phone Viator 3 times to find out if it was still running.
Natasha was a good and engaging guide. Recording entertaining and educational. Sami family experience underwhelming
We truly enjoyed our tour with Bernadette at the helm. It was informative, funny, and we really understood why people love it here despite the climatic difficulties.
