What we will do
- Our adventure begins at Honningsvåg port where, after a short walk, we will reach the helipad.
- We board a helicopter and set off over the magnificent Norwegian landscape, offering spectacular views of the ocean, coast and main sights along the way.
- Fantastic panoramas glide by below us: Honningsvåg with its port, the jagged coast dotted with lakes and Cape North promontory with its famous Globe, a large iron sculpture representing the world.
- With its cliff dropping into the sea, Cape North is considered the northernmost tip of Europe even though the record actually belongs to Knivskjellodden, a lengthy promontory that gently slopes down towards the sea and visible from our helicopter.
- We then head West and fly over the famous island of Gjesværstappan, a true sanctuary for marine birds including puffins, cormorants, razorbills and white-tailed eagles.
- We continue towards the village of Kjelvik, once the region’s administrative centre and now a holiday destination after being destroyed during the Second World War. From here, we return to Honningsvåg.
