Tourism
In sharp contrast to North Cape with its extensive tourist infrastructure and busloads of visitors, Cape Nordkinn is a rather lonely place that can only be visited following at least a full-day hike from Mehamn and one day back. The terrain is sufficiently difficult for hiking that more than two days is usually required for the loop, 24 km one way. On rainy weather the slippery stones make the terrain very difficult, whilst sudden fogs and associated whiteout can make orientation on the highland south of the cape impossible without a GPS. There is no mobile phone coverage to the northwest of Mehamn Airport.
The cape can also be reached by boat tours. The tourist bureau of the Gamvik municipality provides tourist information. Hurtigruten ships call at Mehamn and Kjøllefjord to the southwest of the cape, providing a sighting opportunity for visitors on the way.
