MINIBUS TOUR TO KANNESTEINEN
A relaxed one-hour minibus tour from the cruise terminal in Måløy along the coast of Vågsøy to Kannesteinen, the mushroom-shaped rock, with an English audio guide onboard.
Discover the dramatic coastline of Vågsøy on a relaxed and sightseeing tour by minibus. This tour offers an intimate and memorable experience of nature.
The journey begins with a scenic drive along the west coast, passing through the historic fishing settlement of Torskangerpollen. This area once played an important role in winter cod fishing, and traces of the old coastal life can still be seen. A short stop is made here on the return journey.
The main highlight of the tour is Kannesteinen, one of Norway’s most distinctive natural landmarks. Shaped by powerful waves over thousands of years, this mushroom-shaped stone stands as a strong symbol of the sea’s force. You will have time to walk down to the shoreline, enjoy the fresh sea air, and take photos of this iconic formation.
Along the route, there is rich birdlife and coastal wildlife to observe. Many seabirds live in the area, and if you are lucky, sea eagles may be seen flying above or along the coastline.
An English audio guide is available onboard the minibus, sharing stories and information along the way. The driver is also happy to help and answer questions whenever needed.
The minibus carries a maximum of 15 passengers, creating a calm, private, and more personal experience.
