Hurtigruten www.hurtigruten.com Take the famous Hurtigruten to any of the 34 ports on the way to Bergen, an 11-day journey along the magnificent coastline of northern Norway. Sven, pilot	Bird safari Gjesvær www.birdsafari.com Any trip around the North Cape is a unique nature experience, but as a bird lover, this is a highlight. The boat tour leaves from Gjesvær 15 km from North Cape & takes about 10 minutes. Bring binoculars as visitors are not allowed to set foot on the island. Robert	North Cape cliff Honningsvåg www.destinasjon-71nord.no The North Cape cliff is astonishing. We stayed a few nights in the area & took a king crab tour, which was great. After catching a few of these giants, the guides prepared them over an open fire. Delicious! Petra
