Each of our guided North Cape Sightseeing tours is unique.

We show you our home as we know it and love it.

Let us take you on a scenic ride across Magerøya Island, here at the far North of Norway. Enjoy the beautiful landscape and numerous stops along the way, with the final destination: North Cape.

Each of our trips is different, we do not follow a strict itinerary, we change the sequence of our stops and adjust to the weather conditions as well as to the audience.

For us, it is all about your experience. Period.

Based on the many requests we have received lately, Blue Puffin is now offering a shorter version of our original North Cape Sightseeing tour especially catered to Hurtigruten guests.

This is for their North-bound journey, with arrival to Honningsvåg at 10:55 a.m. and departure time at 02:30 p.m.

We prefer to be clear to avoid misunderstandings.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to join a 4-hour tour, if your ship is in town for only 3:35 hours… This is why we have created Hurtig Special!

Sorry to say, but we need to cut parts of the original itinerary – there is no way around it.

We chose to leave out the King Crab Show, because there is simply no time.

We also chose to stay at North Cape shorter than on our regular North Cape Sightseeing tours, which is the only way to still visit Kamøvvær, the most picturesque fishing village on our island. We believe this is still very much within reason. On our regular departures, we recommend to watch the panorama movie. It is about 15 minutes long. By not watching it, you gain some precious time.

11:10 a.m. (directly at the Hurtigruten pier)

02:10 p.m.

Designing this tour, we asked ourselves, "What makes Tromsø special?"

Quickly, we indulged in a funny conversation. "Is it the snow-covered mountains, the deep, rich fjords cutting far inland and/ or unspoiled nature right in our backyards?"

What about, "You can get a tan, way past midnight during the summer (the time of the Midnight Sun)?" – or rather, "Our kids play hide-and-seek under the light cone of their headlamps during mørketiden (the dark time of the year)?" That's right. Arctic kids are tough! The brave ones, turn their headlamps off during hide-and-seek, though. They cope with all sorts of weather and play outside a lot. In kindergarten, even during a snow storm, while eating icicles non–stop!!...

The answers may be as diverse as the people around our table on that day – maybe as diverse as all the inhabitants of Tromsø. Soon, we discovered that our question essentially evolved to, "Why do we live here?"

Starting May 2022, our new Tromsø Tour follows the clear and well-regarded concept of our Original North Cape Sightseeing Tour. Each of our guided tours in Tromsø is unique.

Be warned! This tour does not follow a strict itinerary. This tour might not be the right choice for you, if you are seeking a classical tour that takes you from one touristic highlight straight to the next one.

Instead, join your guide as she (or he) takes you to her/ his favorite places. Some in town, some outside, in the countryside. We leave that entirely up to your guide...

And yes, if you are curious, you may ask your guide yourself, "Why do you live here?"

Join us on our search for the fascinating Northern Lights.

Observing this natural phenomenon with the naked eye, as well as in the focus of your camera, is truly a particularly impressive experience.

You may be asking yourself: “Why do we actually have to look for the Northern Lights? I thought Auroras would be visible in the skies, all over the Arctic, in winter.”

It's not that simple after all. Join us on our quest and find out what makes the difference!

Join our tour to one of the numerous locations we have explored in advance, to observe the Northern Lights in the best possible way. We are flexible, and we know our way around here.

Our committed, English- and German-speaking and, above all, local guides lead our Northern Lights in Focus Tour in small groups with a maximum of 15 participants per group.

Let the tour begin! We head North, South, East, or West, depending on where the conditions are most favorable on the day of your tour. In particular, throughout our tour, we take into account the locally varying weather conditions, which are often slightly different behind every mountain and behind every fjord. Each of our tours takes you out, into nature. We go, where it is dark. Search with us for a sky free of light pollution, and as free of clouds as possible.

Strictly speaking, we are not looking for the Northern Lights, but we are looking with you for the place where the probability of seeing the Northern Lights is greatest. As a general rule of thumb, you have the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights where you can see the stars. It is precisely this (magical) place – in the middle of nowhere – that we set out to look for, together with you – and to find it!

Our local knowledge, our understanding of wind and weather, and our flexibility in choosing the best location are key to your experience, increasing your chance of seeing the Northern Lights in their full glory many times over.

Arrived at our destination – maybe somewhere, along a lonely shore of a hidden fjord – we make ourselves comfortable around the campfire, snuggle up in warm thermal overalls and wait patiently for the show to begin. We serve homemade soup, homemade cookies, hot chocolate and tea.


Photos! … Oh, yeah! We pay special attention to photography on our Northern Lights in Focus Tour. Our selected guides are also professional photographers. During this tour, your guide will take numerous photos with her/ his professional photo equipment, including portraits of each of our guests – of course, ideally with the Northern Lights in the background. Our guides will be happy to allow you to look over their shoulders and advise you on choosing the right setting for your photo camera. After the tour, we will send you the best pictures, which your guide selects according to his professional standards, in medium resolution, as a souvenir.


Our Northern Lights in Focus Tour starts right at the port. At the end of the tour, we will, of course, bring you back to the port.

The fine print:
Natural phenomena are not made to order. We take our time, are familiar with the area and flexible. Despite all preparations and our commitment, we cannot guarantee that you will see the Northern Lights during our tour.
