“We had a great experience in Honningsvag. Our driver was on time to pick us up. It was nice to have a small group experience rather than a bus of 50 people from the cruise ship! We were given a tour of town prior to heading north. Our visit to Skarsvag included learning about the local crab and having a great snack of various sausages and of course crab. From there we went to North Cape. It was perfect timing to miss most of the larger crowds from the cruise ship. Great tour for our day!”
