The day starts with cycling back to Honningsvåg. If you´re up to it, consider a 4 km detour to Kamøyvær, a fishing village where the boats are packed tightly together. There’s also an art gallery to explore. Just make sure to allow enough time to get back to the ship before departure.
Honningsvåg, the island’s town, offers shops, cafes, and hiking trails, including the new Nordkapp Stairs with 1,000 steps leading to stunning views. After a 2 hours sailing you´ll reach Kjøllefjord; the next coastal town and goal of today.
The sailing today is short, but beautiful and spectacular. One of the key attractions is best seen from the ship en route to Kjøllefjord. The iconic Finnkirka sea cliff is a Sami cultural landmark and resembles a church in its shape. This rock formation has been a crucial landmark for sailors for centuries, particularly in navigating the dangerous waters around Nordkyn.
Kjøllefjord is a small village with shops and a hotel. Since the 1500s, it has been a trade center for fishermen, Sami people, and locals. To the east of the harbor lies Foldalbruket, a museum with a summer café and accommodations. Here, you can stay like the fishermen did during the seasonal fisheries of the 1950s and 60s – right by the pier. Only 8 km from the center lies a unique accommodation spot. At Daavi Siida, you can stay in a cabin with a Sami family. For those who want to cycle more, an extra ride along the coast to Kifjord (3 km) and the coastal Sami village of Dyfjord (11 km) can be enjoyable.
