Honningsvag is the most northerly point in Europe and the gateway to the famous North Cape. It is surrounded by breathtaking fjords and waterfalls, and areas of dense forest, bathed in the mysterious light of the Midnight Sun. The North Cape’s Midnight Sun is rightly famous – here, far above the Arctic Circle, lies the spectacularly situated town of Tromso, where the sun never rises in winter, nor sets in midsummer. From Honningsvag, the North Cape is just 34km (21 miles) away – and during the memorable journey to the Cape, visitors stop along the way to marvel at herds of reindeer and the white Duken Mountain (meaning tablecloth in Norwegian and covered in rare plants not seen outside Siberia). Once at the top of the 300m high (91ft) cliffs, visitors are said to experience a feeling of being on top of the world as they look out across the beautiful Arctic Ocean.
