A full-day tour from Alta to the North Cape, the northernmost point of Europe. The tour takes about 10 hours, with roughly 3.5 hours of driving each way. We drive through Arctic Northern Norway, past fjords, coastline and fishing villages. You may see reindeer and sea birds along the road. Several stops along the way give you time to take photos. The guide tells stories in English about the lives of the fishermen, king crabs, and Sami culture and history. Other languages are available on request. At the North Cape the cliffs plunge straight into the Arctic Ocean. You have two hours to explore and take photos, and you receive an official North Cape certificate as a memento. Good to know Our drivers are highly experienced in Arctic driving conditions. In winter, roads can close, and the route can change or the tour be cancelled at short notice.

Vahva suositus paikalle ihan jo pelkästään henkilökunnan ystävällisyyden vuoksi.
Идеально! Место просто великолепное. Дом под горой. Тишина. Кухня прекрасна. Каждый день новое меню, но необольщайтесь гурманы, готовится одно блюдо и подаётся всем. Цена для Норвегии не кусается. Персонал приветливый. По возможности помогут. Самое главное в номере нет телевизора!
Great place, we come back again
