Coastal Treasures and Legends wildlife tour






Join us for an unforgettable Arctic adventure by the sea that takes you through stunning landscapes, rich history, and the daily life of local fishermen.
Start Your Journey in Honningsvåg
Your tour begins at the Honningsvåg harbor, from where we will proceed to our office (500 m walk), where we’ll gather for a safety briefing and equip you with thermal suits and life jackets. After a quick introduction, you’ll board our RIB (rigid inflatable boat) and set off on your Arctic journey.
Discover the Historic Village of Kjelvik
Our first stop is the historic village of Kjelvik, once the capital of Nordkapp municipality. Here, you’ll learn about its role as a fishing hub dating back to the 1500s and hear stories about the witch trials of the 1600s. Discover how the village was shaped by time, people and weather.
As we travel along the rugged coastline, enjoy the breathtaking scenery and be on the lookout for wildlife such as puffins, eagles, seals, and, if we’re lucky - dolphins or whales.
Experience Fishing Life in Nordvågen
On the return journey, we’ll visit the fishing village of Nordvågen. Here, you’ll step into a fish factory to see the fascinating process of turning fresh catches into products ready for export. Taste local delicacies like dried fish and caviar, and learn firsthand about the lives of Arctic fishermen.
Arctic Wildlife and Culture
Throughout the tour, you’ll have the chance to connect with the vibrant wildlife and rich culture of the Arctic. Our small-group RIB adventure ensures you get up close to nature while learning about the traditions and history that make Magerøya unique.
