waiting2retire Posted July 17 #2 Share Posted July 17 We were on the same cruise in May this year and used Blue Puffin Tours. Highly recommend them! It was a great tour, exactly as set out on their website. https://www.blue-puffin.com/en/#north_cape_sightseeing_tour_english_wrapper We lucked into a fabulous day weather wise, clear and relatively warm for May at 12C. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable with lots of personal stories and perspective. If you act quickly, there seem to be a few spaces left on their 12:15 pm tour on August 29. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburgher Posted July 17 #3 Share Posted July 17 (edited) 1 hour ago, Tidakus said: what excursion to take for visiting the Northcape from Honingsvaag, Blue Puffin and North Cape Tours have been previously mentioned in threads. and there may be others if you internet search. Should you want to share with others, which may lower the cost, you could check your Roll Call to see if any fellow passengers have arranged a private tour and are looking for others like yourselves to share. Or plan one yourself and ask on the Roll Call if anyone wants to join you. And your ship will offer shorex.

Sarnia 432 Posted July 17 #4 Share Posted July 17 Another vote for Blue Puffin. The ship’s tour just went to the Cape and back, they didn’t even have a guide for commentary along the way. The Blue Puffin tour was excellent, small group in a minivan, made stops at a couple of small fishing villages and was half the cost of the Princess tour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare karatemom2 Posted July 19 #6 Share Posted July 19 We just got back from our cruise on the Sky Princess and booked the Blue Puffin tour for Honningsvag. It was excellent - definitely book with them and do it earlier rather than later because they do book up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scottishclover Posted July 21 #7 Share Posted July 21 Was in Honnigsvag last week. We hired a car from Nordkapp Bilservice AS which worked out well as there was 4 of us. For reference all their cars were reserved for the day. It is best to have something booked in advance but don’t panic if you can’t get booked on a tour pre- cruise. There were guides advertising a few free spaces on tours at the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted July 25 #8 Share Posted July 25 We did the North Cape Express last year. Quick stop at a town and native trading post, then a lot of time at North Cape. Waffles! Kind of weird that bus leaves you there, gets another group, and then picks you up but your guide stays behind at North Cape to organize things. https://northcapetours.com/en/northcapeexpress Don't trust the packaged T-shirt sizes at North Cape. Adult XL might fit an adult S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
