Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This reserve was established by the environmental authorities to protect seabird colonies, plants and wildlife. A must do activity for bird enthusiasts . You book a boat and take the safari which is the number two attraction in Nordkapp.it is famous for its white tailed eagle . Seasonal birds like the puffins , ravens, razorbills etc are freely flying across during the season.

After arriving by cruise ship in Honningsvag we were transport to Gjesvaerstappen in a small coach along to only road we passed the local herdsmen tending herds of reindeer.
The scenery was also spectacular, this alone was worth the cost.
Then we arrived a a small fishing town and boarded the vessel that took us out the bird viewing area and breeding colonies.
The great variety off birds in and out of the water was amazing. Hundreds of thousand in the area.
The views across the islands towards north-cape and the Arctic are awe inspiring.
There is a small gift shop on the dock if you require a North cape souvenir .

Excellent value as we saw seals, eagles, puffins, gannets and many more. We got up close to the rocks and could actually smell the birds. Far exceeded my expectations and really was a great time! Highly recommended!

unfriendly enviroment - very expensive entrance - very expensive restaurant with no variety - expensive sovenir shops and the real
northest part of europe is a few kilometers away at knivskjellodden
N 71 11 06 - E 25 40 - unless you want to say you have been there then do not go . Norway has unbeleivable nice nature to see so spend your time elsewhere

Stunning scenery and magnificent bird life. Probably one of the best places in the world to view large numbers of puffins on the water and in flight. Take a boat or zodiac tour.

Hello. My wife and I are very interested in seeing the bird sanctuary but have concerns about how cold it is likely to be in early June. We would be interested in any input on how folks who are sensitive to cold would fare on the kind of boat used for the excursion (open? or closed areas?)
best regards,
