Visit the northernmost of continental Europe - visit Nordkapp.

Nordkapp is the great journey for all travelers.

In previous centuries a journey for explorers and expeditions, today a major destination for visitors from all over the world. The steep mountain cliff rises majestically from the Arctic Ocean, and marks the end point of the European mainland. Frozen shores and snow-capped mountains in winter, a coastline rich in wildlife and history. Endless daylight and haunting landscapes in summer. The journey to Nordkapp is unforgettable, and in 1664 described as the journey to the end of the known world. And at the very edge of continental Europe you reach the globe. This is where Europe ends and the endless begins.

Explore the island of Magerøya. Join in the hunt for King crabs, discover the Arctic by sea rafting or a snowmobile safari, and visit one of Europe’s largest colony of seabirds.

Travel through spectacular scenery, visit picturesque fishing villages and become acquainted with the culture of Northern Norway.

Visit the Arctico Ice Bar, the local art gallery and enjoy from the Arctic kitchen with fresh produce from the Barents Sea. Learn the history of the land and ocean through museums and exhibitions. Watch the soft veil of polar twilight in winter and go hiking in Arctic wilderness in summer.

The municipality of Nordkapp has 3.300 inhabitants and consists of five fishing villages and the administration center Honningsvåg. Honningsvåg is a modern town with shopping, activities and restaurants, several hotels and sights of interest.

Travelling here is easy. You can go by car, bus, boat or bike. Or you can fly. Communications are excellent with a subsea tunnel connecting Magerøya and the mainland, a commercial airport and the coastal express Hurtigruten making port of calls daily.

The port of Honningsvåg is the gateway to Nordkapp. As the largest cruise port in Northern Norway with more than 100 cruise ships during summer, it offers ideal conditions for large vessels. With its deep water harbor and good infrastructure, it is able to berth four cruise ships simultaneously. The port is in walking distance to the town center, shopping and sights. The harbor is always free of ice making it perfect for any vessel in winter. The arctic winter is a unique experience. Endless white plains, blue skies and the unforgettable expedition to the northernmost of European mainland.

Welcome to Nordkapp - to the end of a continent and the beginning of an adventure!

THE ULTIMATE NORDKAPP DEEP SEA RAFTING AND VISIT IN THE ICEBAR We welcome you to the port of Honningsvåg, and invite you to experience our nature up close. In the next 1,5 hours we will go deep sea rafting and visit inside the beautiful Artico Icebar.

There will be a short walk from the pier to the boat where a safety drill will be held.

We take you deep sea rafting to Helnes and Kjelvik. The history of Helnes goes back to the year 1694, and we give interesting information about this place. 200 years ago, Kjelvik was the community center of the Nordkapp municipality (up to the late 18-hundreds).

Before 1882 the only church in the municipality was located here, but when the church was destroyed by a winter storm it was decided not to rebuild it. Instead a new church was built in Honningsvåg. This was finished in 1885, today the oldest building on the island.

When we are back in Honningsvåg we will go to the Artico Icebar and take a look inside.

You will find the inside to be made of natural ice from the lakes of Lapland.

Inside there is also an icebar, an igloo, a movie screen of ice and nice sculptures.

CONVOY TO NORDKAPP Visiting Nordkapp in summer is a great adventure experienced by thousands. Visiting in winter is even more powerful. The Arctic scenery is breathtaking and the journey to the top of Europe is unique. Sometimes the weather does not allow transport by road. Blizzards and storms may close down roads for hours. The road to Nordkapp is officially closed during winter, but in recent years it is kept open for convoys. All vehicles have to join a convoy to reach Nordkapp, and convoy driving to Nordkapp in the midst of winter is an exciting experience. Meeting point for the convoy is by the Skarsvåg junction, 13 km from Nordkapp. All vehicles are welcome to participate, but we recommend private cars and buses to join the convoy at 11:30.

Convoys leave daily at 11:30 and 12:30 from the Skarsvåg crossing Departure from Nordkapp at 13:30 and 14:15.

Behind the convoy there is always another snow plow or safety vehicle. The driver of the front and rear vehicles keeps contact during the convoy and the front car may stop occasionally to check if all cars are following along.

The road to Nordkapp is the first to close during bad weather. Keep this in mind and allow yourself a day or two extra when travelling in the Arctic.

Welcome to the adventure of Arctic winter!

BEFORE JOINING A CONVOY, PLEASE READ THIS: - Make sure you have enough fuel - Keep flashlight, shovel and tow rope easy accessible

Bus is a good option if you are not comfortable or equipped for the drive to Nordkapp.

- It is wise to bring warm drinks and some food.

Other options are rental car or taxi.

- Participants in the convoy must be equipped with winter clothes

For more information please contact the tourist information in Honningsvåg: Nordkapp Reiseliv AS www.nordkapp.no Phone: +47 78 47 70 30 Email: info@northcape.no Driving in a convoy.

In a convoy the snow plow drives in front of a column of cars. Beware that the driver of the plow is in charge of the convoy and may refuse vehicles to follow if they are not properly equipped for the tour. The general rule is that there should not be more people in the convoy than what the rescuers can save.

- Avoid foggy windows by adjusting your ventilation system to supply cold air to your front windscreen - Use emergency lights - Use fog lights if your car is equipped with this.

- While driving in a convoy, never lose sight of the car in front of you.

- Keep a steady speed and follow the convoy - Remain in the convoy at all times. Do not attempt to leave or turn away from the column.

- Stay in your vehicle even if you have to stop or the convoy comes to a halt.

Behind the convoy there is always another snow plow or safety vehicle.

The driver in front and rear vehicles keeps contact during the convoy and the car in front may occasionally halt. Remember to follow the car in front of you, and in case of a traffical stop, to never leave your car.

ABOUT THE NORTHERN LIGHTS MYTH OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS Sometimes the Northern Lights all come out together, dancing across the sky in orange, purple, green and sunset red. At other times, they are curtains of green or a twister of ethereal light. The Northern Lights were traditionally associated with sound by the Sami, Norway’s indigenous people. Northern Light symbols are found on the Sami shamanistic drum. During the Viking Age, the Northern Lights were the armor of the Valkyrie warrior virgins, shedding a strange flickering light. Some also believe they are the fiery breath of a dragon flashing across the sky. In olden days, Scandinavian fishermen believed that the Northern Lights were the reflections of herring in the Northern Sea. And according to Japanese legend, it is good luck to conceive a child under the Northern Lights. Many young children make wishes and believe they can catch the Northern Lights by waving to the sky.

WHAT ARE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS? In reality, if not as poetic, they are equally impressive. The sun is the true father of the Auroras. Caused by large explosions and flares, huge quantities of particles are thrown out of the sun and into deep space. These particle clouds travel through space at speeds varying from 300 to 1,000 kilometres per second. When the particles collide with the gases in the earth’s atmosphere, they glow, producing a fantastic array of colour. This is why the Northern Lights are never the same, no matter how many times you see them.

WHERE TO SEARCH FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS? Theoretically, you can see the Northern Lights all over Norway. However, the best places are above the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway. Popular destinations for the Northern Lights are Lofoten and Narvik in Nordland, Tromsø in Troms, Alta, Kirkenes, Kautokeino, Karasjok and Nordkapp in Finnmark, and the Svalbard Islands. Not only are you almost guaranteed a sight of this wondrous spectacle, you will also gain a unique travel experience through breathtaking scenery and an array of adventurous activities. This is a journey of a lifetime.

HOW TO BEST OBSERVE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS Your first glimpse of the Northern Lights is a jaw-dropping and mystical moment. The Northern Lights are at their most frequent in late autumn and winter/early spring. October, February and March are the best months for Aurora observations. The highest frequency for the Northern Lights is between 6 pm and 1 am. In order to get full value, you should avoid the full moon and places with a lot of light as they make the experience considerably paler. Also remember to wrap up warmly.

HOW TO CAPTURE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS? A digital camera with manual settings is vital to capture the Northern Lights. Also remember to charge the camera to the full or bring extra batteries as camera batteries tend to run down quickly in the cold. Use a tripod and remote timer so that the camera will stand still. We recommend the use of a wide angle lens for manipulation. An F-Stop f/2.8 or better will give you the best picture. Do not use auto-focus. Use an ISO setting of 100-400. The higher ISO the better
