A walk through the world’s Northernmost fishing village nin the world with its beautiful remoteness.

You will get to see the local day-to-day lives, as we stop by the fish factory to get an impression of the lives of the fishermen. We learn about their jobs and if we are lucky, we will get to see the fishing boats deliver the catch of the day. The guide will tell stories about this remote Nordic life that is dependent on fishery and tourism alone.

While on the visit, we will learn the old traditional ways of preparing fish & you will get to taste our dried stockfish. In our outdoor aquarium, we will meet the majestic live king crabs. Here you will learn about these fantastic creatures, you will get to hold them, and take pictures of the experience.

Then we head towards the NorthCape Experience Centre. Here we are very fortunate to display the photo gallery by award-winner Frits Solvang - that captured the town of Skarsvåg in the 20

century. The gallery also includes display of old traditional fishing artifacts used by the local fishermen.

We will enter our traditional Lavvo or cosy Restaurant, and you will get a taste of the Arctic, as we serve you some seasonal local flavours (like king crab, reindeer, caviar and salmon - based on the season). 

After you will have some time on your own to discover the village of Skarsvåg. Look at our king crab, enjoy the colourful houses and perhaps spot some reindeer herds or fishing boats in action, or enjoy a complimentary warm drink inside our tourist centre with handmade artifacts and local souvenirs.

We can offer pick up, but  please notify asap after booking  if you need a pickup from Honningvag tourist information. If we hear nothing we assume you come to Skarsvåg.

It is possible to dine in our seafood restaurant afterwards and enjoy for example fresh king crab.
