North Cape Sightseeing
More than a Bus Tour

Complete tour from cruises to North Cape and surrounding area
Our guide was Sebastian Borgwardt, Monika's husband. Everything said in other reviews about the efficiency and warm personality of Monika is TRUE!! Her husband was our guide, and showed us more about the surrounding community of Honningsvag as well as other sites on the way to the Cape... MoreCharley44, Rockville, Maryland, USA

Tour Description
North Cape Sightseeing
Each of our guided 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.

NEW! - Hurtig Special
Based on The Original - Optimized for Travelers who arrive by Hurtigruten
Tour Description
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 11:15 a.m. and departure time at 02:45 p.m.
How does it work?
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 3.5 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.

Guides
The difference between a shuttle bus and our North Cape Sightseeing tour is your guide.

Monika Dąbkowska
Monika is the founder and owner of Blue Puffin.
Monika was born and raised in Gdańsk, Poland. She first came to Northern Norway in 2003 as a student of Scandinavian Studies, in which she has a masters degree.
Her work experience ranges from guiding tours through being a language school manager, a Norwegian teacher, musher, while working with huskies and dog sleds to being a full-time mom. As you can see, it never got boring... oh, yeah, and she has a professional bus driver's license, too, and worked as a bus driver for local bus companies. Monika also tried having "a real job" when living and working in Oslo, but learned that that's just not quite her thing and moved back North.
Whenever not working, Monika is found someplace all over the planet. Monika is a dedicated traveler, as so to say. Her extensive journeys have brought her to all continents (except Antarctica - no reindeer there, though) and many would be jealous about all the places she has been to.
Monika started Blue Puffin in 2018. She had been the manager for a local tour operator for three years before that and had been in charge of developing and running North Cape Sightseeing tours. After this company decided to not longer continue business, Monika took over the concept in mutual agreement and continued the same concept she had originally developed. ... Blue Puffin was born - same tour, just under a different "legal" name.
Monika is fluent in Polish, English and Norwegian and speaks "some" German as well as "un poquito" Spanish.
Sebastian Borgwardt
Sebastian is Monika's partner.
Sebastian grew up in Leipzig, Germany. After finishing school, he bought a plane ticket and went off to discover the world. His journey, by bicycle, brought him to the End of the World, where he found his base camp in Southern Patagonia, Chile.
He has been working as a tour operator, specializing in adventure and nature travel in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, Chile and Argentina for 17 years. Sebastian also owned a hostel in Punta Arenas, Chile.
Besides using his local knowledge in the production of several TV documentaries and commercials, Sebastian also enjoyed the opportunity to work with environment protection projects. Working close to nature for most of his life has resulted in his awareness of environmental issues and led to his most important projects together with National Geographic Photographer, Maria Stenzel, and the re-known conservationists Douglas Tompkins and Kristine McDivitt Tompkins. The latter led to the establishment of the first trekking trail in the (now not anymore) future Patagonia National Park, of which he was in charge. With pride, Sebastian sees this accomplishment as the personal highlight of his career and a small, yet very real step in long-term environment protection.
For Blue Puffin, he guides many North Cape Sightseeing tours, ties the strings in the back office and is in charge of international marketing, which pretty much means, he surfs the web a lot...
Sebastian is fluent in German, English and Spanish, gets along in French, and is learning Norwegian, which is tough in an country where even the mail man is fluent in English.

Kathi Goller
She knows her mountains from her childhood home in Tirol, but she soon learned that Norway offers more than that: fjords! - hard to find in Austria!... ;-)
Kathi first came to Norway in 1999 and quickly found a new home in the beautiful, rugged North. She has been living and guiding tours here on and off since 2004.
Kathi studied geography/ cartography and actually does work for a tunnel construction company full time. Every year, she comes back to Magerøya Island to guide a few of our North Cape Sightseeing tours.
In her free time, she likes to get lost in a thick jungle in Surinam or some remote mountains in Kazakhstan - places well off the beaten track.
Kathi is fluent in German, English and Norwegian and as a far-traveled adventurer juggles with a few more languages on top of it.

Anita Holmgren
Anita is currently studying marine biology at the University of Trondheim, but comes home during the summer to either help at her parents' family-run business "Nordkapp Camping" (www.nordkappcamping.no) or to show off her land to our guests as a guide of our North Cape Sightseeing tours.
Anita is also a passionate singer and actress. Whenever she finds time, she enjoys performing at our friends' at Perleporten Kulturhus for the "Our Northermost Life" theater show. Highly recommended! www.perleportenkulturhus.no, performance in English.
Anita speaks Norwegian, English and some German.

Michelle Ernst
After completing her studies in hotel management, she worked on a cruise ship on the Rhine river. Later, she gained experience working for different airlines in different fields, including the lost luggage department at the Frankfurt airport - imagine: most people Michelle met there were probably not in the best of all moods, as you can imagine...
In 2003, Michelle settled over to Patagonia, Chile's wild South, where she worked as a guide, including extended, multi-adventure and bus tours throughout the country. This is also, where Michelle first met Sebastian around 15 years ago. They worked together in several occasions.
Michelle is strengthening our team at North Cape from summer 2019, before searching for the next summer in South America.
Michelle is fluent in her native German, English and Spanish.
