-
HONNINGSVAG, NORWAY
On the island of Magerøy, as well as the ‘capital’ Honningsvåg, there are several small fishing villages. A coach will transport us through the little town of Honningsvåg, past the airstrip and along the Skipsfjord with its tiny weekend cottages

HONNINGSVAG, NORWAY
The king crab is one of the largest crabs, weighing five kilograms (eleven pounds) or more. Its size and tasty flesh make it a valued food, and large numbers are commercially fished each year.

Leaving the pier, our tour of this interesting area starts in the centre – a charming blend of old and new, with modest wooden houses set next to contemporary architecture.
