Book direct with North Cape Tours

Deborah_R, Aug 2025

I booked this tour assuming that it was a more exclusive experience and that we would not be in a herd of cruise passengers. The listing clearly states that it will be a max of 35 participants. We went to the meet up point and could not locate anyone from the tour operator - My Holiday Online. We asked around and finally someone pointed us to a tour operator who said we were with North Cape Tours and put us on a bus with 55 other people. There was NOT a personal tour guide and the boat for the bird safari actually had about 90 people on the boat. Everyone else in the bus said they booked through North Cape Tours who clearly was the operator of the tour. After the tour was over, I checked the website for North Cape Tours and saw that I was charged 25% more for the tour than if I had booked it direct with North Cape tours. While we did enjoy the tour - the price we paid was way too high given what we received. And the listing is very deceptive and the meet up instructions we not clear - we almost missed the bus due to poor instructions.

Birds, birds, birds!!!!!

It has been my dream since I was a child to see a puffin in the wild and this tour made it happen. Finding the tour starting point was a bit of a challenge as the directions as to where the tour was to start were not sufficiently specific. We managed to track them down and enjoyed the narrated bus trip to the boat dock. The boat was a good size for our group. The operators provided insulated overalls to everyone, including children, so that we would be comfortable on the water. It was a gray chilly day so they were much appreciated. They fit easily over your clothes without having to remove your shoes. If you didn't want to be outside, there was a seating area below deck with plenty of space. Of course, the best place was standing on the bow deck. We sailed out into the harbor to bird island and were not disappointed at the number of water fowl. We even say about six white tailed eagles. The puffins literally numbered by the thousands and we got as close as one could get in a boat. It was the perfect amount of time on the water. One operator narrated over the ship's loudspeaker and two others were out on the bow mixing with the guests and answering questions. They were terrific, very friendly and very informative. This was my favorite tour in Norway. The bus ride to and from the dock was narrated on tape. The script was filled with dry humor which I loved. Our bus driver was super friendly and a great driver. We even saw reindeer in the wild! I don't know if I will ever get back to Norway, much less Honningsvag, but if I do I will take this tour again.
