The top of Europe is magnificent - Everything worked out. The weather was clear, even a bit warm. The views were extraordinary. To enter the visitors center was far too expensive, so I decided to have a coffee in Honningsvåg, a quaint town a little south of Nordkapp. I then arranged a cruise with Hurligruten to Svolvaer in the Lofoten islands. Truly a beautiful experience. This part of the world is a feast for the eyes.

Great! - Picked up on time and well organized by Bernadette, Dutch tour guide. The information during the bus trip was TOP, a tape was always played in English and German, all possible information about this trip and the North Cape was discussed with a comic twist. The time you could spend on the North Cape was good, would recommend the morning excursion because of the crowds. The time you could spend with the Sami family was very short, 5 minutes. We DID see reindeer, also on the way! Overall highly recommended.

Enjoyed the trip - The Blue Puffin North Cape, Fishing Villages and Sami Family tour was great! Our guide Viktor (6 foot 11) was wonderful. Lots of great information and personal experiences provided. He was very personable as well. Enjoyed the 2 fishing villages - cod and king crab information.
I do agree with someone else that the 15 minute Sami family stop was a waste of time .. no cultural or historical information there - a guy dressed up with a few reindeer.
We only had an hour at North Cape. Not enough time to see the 2 videos, take in the scenery, hit the toilets and visit the souvenir shop. Would have preferred no Sami stop and one other photo stop.
All communications with Blue Puffin were excellent. Would suggest better signage at port. It was hard to find the girl holding the sign with 2 shiploads of people there. Once Viktor held up the sign, much easier to see.
All in all, we are happy we went and would recommend Blue Puffin.

Scams - This was the worst tour I've ever done. Besides the fact that you get no answer at all from the organizer of wowatours (graham), you also don't get what you paid for.
In the bus a tape is played, you get 10 min time to explore the fishing village on your own, 10 min at the sami tribe (are 2 people dressed for a photo moment no more, no explanation nothing). On the center itself had a tight hour (58 min) to walk around. Not even being able to see the movie. And on the way back the driver of the bus did not know how the blower of the bus worked so with full fogged windows, the narrow mountain route driven (life threatening).
Have booked this tour via here (tripadviser) but the tour is available at the tourist office of Honingsvag 30 euros pp cheaper appeared afterwards, so we feel heavily ripped off by tripadviser and wowatours.
It's that I can give 1 star because actually it deserves 0 stars.
When sent photos are taken in the tourist office converted you are cheaper places.

The North Cape, Reindeer and Sami Families Tour debacle - Having made the booking in February I wanted confirmation of who we would be meeting in Honningsvag. I made numerous phone calls to the UK number provided with no reponse whatsoever. On trying to download tickets not successful. Two days before arriving in Honningsvag the tour operator cancelled the tour with no explanation. On a positive note full refund was made promptly. I would be very loathe to make another tour booking as the whole experience was stressful.

Not happy - We could not go on the tour as described as we were never given a departure time. I asked for that but no one ever responded. When we got off ship we were told we had a 2:30 departure returning at 6 pm but we already had a dinner reservation made in August 2023 for the Eden restaurants on Celebrity Apex so while we may have been brought back on time there was no time to shower and change to be at our reservation. We were very disappointed there were only two departure times 1 and 2:30. Why not after the shipped docked?. I will say that the North Cape tours representative that helped us found a departure leaving in a few minutes with space available so we transferred over to that tour although the Sami Village was not included. I find it better to deal directly with the tour operator and not an intermediary like Viator

Unorganized and Chaotic North Cape Excursion - North Cape tours are the most unorganized tour company I have ever used. No communication from them on tour time. At the site where we boarded the bus, it was totally chaotic. Boarding the bus was a push and shove ordeal. After visiting North Cape, no return bus and different times given. Very nerve racking! I feel that they didn’t care about our tour to North Cape. I feel we should be given compensation back for this horrific tour. We were NOT HAPPY with this whole process from start to finish!!

Don't use trip advisor - Excursion was canceled the day before with no reasoning or alternatives for our group. We went with a local opporator who was fantastic. Use Blue Puffin not trip advisor or viator
