We make the road trip on a Sunlight T69L motorhome, courtesy of savoniacaravan.fi We take a breathtaking drive along the Porsanger Fjord, and get a glimpse of the midnight sun just two weeks before the Summer Solstice.

I am an armchair traveller thanks to RUclips enjoying great videos of this kind. I do find difficulty in searching vocabulary to place my sincere appreciation for all his extraordinary efforts in bringing the splendid visual splendor.
Robert, You are a top rate narrator, this is a fascinating vlog to watch, tysm.
Outstanding work! Thanks for the 43 minute vacation.
when i watch one of your videos, it always feels like a tv show, with your voice and the quality of everything. thank you
Thank you Robert.
This is by far the best Video I have ever seen about a Northcape tour.
Excellent. You are a great artist.
Thank you so much.
Greetings from Hamburg Germany
Volker
My wife and I are road tripping through Finland right now and have been re-watching your Finnish and North Cape videos. We are amazed by the numbers of RVs we are seeing on the road, especially north of the Arctic Circle, even as temps are still falling to -15c. We prefer wintering in hotels, not much into winter camping. Love your videos.
Robert, we have a great time traveling with you and yours. Thanks so much for doing all the work and stress of traveling.
What a spectacular journey! The landscape is harshly beautiful. So many reindeer! A victim of 3 car/deer accidents, it made me a bit nervous. It seems the reindeer don't dart out in the road like deer. You showed off your expert driving skills through the narrow roads and tunnels. Fabulous footage and music. Thanks Robert!
So glad you liked it
Yeah, that's the great thing about Reindeer in summer, they are quite relaxed/docile - and you see them!
At winter it can get nasty: fur turn rather white, high snow and constant darkness makes it super hard to avoid them. If they decide to take the road, and jump/climb the snow barrier, the moment you see them might very well be when it crashes on your hood/windshield. :S
Thank you for sharing such beautiful vistas...bravo Robert..!
Very entertaining and bold trip all the way to the "northernmost point" of Norway! People hiking on the edge of the road and getting sweeped by arctic wind shows how resilient these Norse folk are! Once the mortgage is done and I am able to survive the carnage at work, this is going to be on my list and this is where my annual leave is going to be used at. Safe travels.
It was an unforgettable trip.
Nords are big and built for cold weather, but on the other hand we start to feel extremely uncomfortable if the temperature goes above +20°C :D
There are no words to describe that. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's nice to see that you got your wife trained to stay out of site and to be quiet tell how you do it
Thank you for another wonderful ride in far off lands I would otherwise never see. I especially like the visit to local grocery stores and I find myself comparing prices of foods with our prices here in the US. Following a few gray days of mist and cold, that spurt of brilliant sunshine along with the brilliantly colored homes really topped this video off, I am looking forward to your next leg of this holiday.
Thank you so much for your hard work Robert. I wish i could travel just like you. I wish i had an RV so i can be free like you Robert. Every time i watch your videos they bring me and my family closer together. We all unite under the common theme of travel. We even have a night that we dedicate to watching your travel videos and listening to your music. if there was one person past present or future I would love to meet it would be you, Robert. you are my personal hero
I’m pretty sure you’ll be on the travel channel pretty soon
Your videos are very high quality and your drone videos are amazing
Keep up the good work
Super video! Gorgeous scenery and I love your new music. This was an awesome trip for you and your wife.
Joan, I agree with your comment. Can you see yourself there? I can myself there only I would have to stay a few days to see the wonders of being at the top of the world, just one of their many trips I want to explore as well.
Robert, you are not alone! Supermarkets are always on the top of my list when I visit a town. Somehow I get a feel for what it is like to be a local. Thank you for sharing. Those were some incredible supermarkets in Finland and Norway!!
Howdy Robert,many thanks for sharing yet another great video here about your travels in Norway.This represents another feather you can put in your already richly adorned cap surely buddy.Highly appreciated and relished here. Cordial greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium,Europe
So lovely for taking us there Robert ... love from equator - Singapore.
ROBERT, YOU HAVE A WAY OF MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I AM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. I LOVE THE IPA STOPS. GETTING THIRSTY ...
Just saw seven reindeer playing ! Amazing work getting that shot!
From my front door I have 1246 km to Nordkapp and I have never been there, what a shame! Thanks for showing it to me!
Beautiful place and amazing video .Keep adding the stock we are hungry for more . Love from New Delhi ,India .
Wow! The mountains make such a difference to the landscape, travelling from the north of Finland! Sooo beautiful!
Thank you for the great footage! Nice scenic footage of Norway. I like this area scenes vs Finland. My sister in law loved the beauty of Norway. She mentioned Tromso in particular. As you, I'm rather impressed and amazed by the sizes of the supermarkets in remote arctic place in Scandinavia.
Love traveling with you Robert I watch as much as I can we are in Norway and Finland to night thanks see you again soon !
That narrow road, with dashed white stripes indicate that the road are under 6 meters wide, they dont have strip in the midle of the road.
And with max width 2,5 meters for cars, you have plenty of space :)
Skarvbergtunnelen , first one you drive to, are very bad, so thats why they start this year making a new one.
Fun to see what tourist see where we live :D
Robert you are right visited Norway because Norway was named Mother of Nature
Well done as usual Robert! Thoroughly enjoyed this travelogue
Hello Robert. I like watching your road trip videos very much. It started because of an growing wish/dream to do a road trip in USA. Now i have come to this road trip video to North Cape in Norway, my country. Wow. Then I discover something I havent seen in a while. You are passing the place I served my military duty. Garnisonen i Porsanger. 1:50 into the video. 🙂👌 I spent 8 month there as a driver. BV206 ( belt vehichle) and minibus driver. So cool to see. Geir Roar Kristiansen
Hi Robert! I am Cuban too living in Hialeah. My husband and me love to travel (only the conventional way: planes, tours, cruises, etc). I discovered your channel and I am hooked up to it. I love the way you carry us in your adventures. Keep the good work. 👍👍👍👍
What a beautiful video! My Dad was born in Horten, Norway so this was a special treat, many thanks!
Thank you. Glad you liked it
Oh wow! Looks like you can touch the clouds! Thank you for the vid!
Regaring the people doing the trek on foot: there is a Norwegian tv show called 71° North where the contestants journey from the Lindesnes Lighthouse, the Southern most point of Norway to Nordkapp. So, kind of normal.
Outstanding music work, awesome nordic views. Thanks for the joy.
Thank you!
Wow! I can’t wait to visit North Cape this coming June this is going to be part of our Scandinavian tour that ends in Oslo. Thank you sir for sharing very informative 👍
You are truly living the dream life Robert!
It's changed went there about 30years ago .on a motorcycle ,no tourists ,will not be going again.loved the video
Dear Sir,
Its very useful for all travelers.
Highly impressive captured nature of NORTH CAPE by YOU...... just imagine
No quiero imaginarme ese lugar en invierno!
It's quite humbling to see the stark difference between smooth, round fells on the finnish side and the rough, jagged mountains on the norwegian side. Kinda shame that as a Finn, our closest to that is few "small" (our largest) mountains at the "arm" region in North-West (Kilpisjärvi/Enontekiö).
but y have huge forest,and a hell of a lot lakes my suomi friend
Robert, this video will definitely hit 1 mil views. Congrat.
Thank you!
Really digging your videos. I especially enjoyed your Fort Pierce, Stuart and Jensen Beach episode. We live in that area.
2:37
It's nice but that kind of waterfalls are *everywhere* in Norway.
There are some that are *truly* spetacular, not to be negative, but that one is just... nice...
3:24
Hum, reminds me a bit of Iceland.
I miss having such a open landscape without bloody trees everywhere obscuring most of the landscapes features.
4:30
Remember last episode you mentioned people acting as if there's a third lane in the road?
Well, many of us are used to roads like this...
And it's a fairly good road btw.
8:14
Dangerous?
Why do you say that?
8:18
Ah, that explains it.
And I suspect it's the turn and not so much the tunnel that is dangerous.
"Ulykkespunk" directly translated is "accident point" basically the area has more then normal accidents statistically speaking and they've makred that fact.
That kind of locations tend to be places where cars colide more then normal or where people are run over or some such so the sign is there to notify people to pay more attention then normal and to slow down.
Usually the cause is a difficult turn or roads meeting at a location with poor visibility or some such.
I'm guessing it was referring to the turn before the entrance of the tunnel and not the tunnel itself really as the tunnel has good visibility, looks solid, got good lighting, is reasonably big etc.
(We got a *lot* of tunnels here in Norway, and there are some that genuinly *are* scary, think tiny ones that you barely can fit a small car through with no light in the roof and that is rugged with rocks sticking out on the sides etc and you have to slowly drive single file and try to avoid the rocks sticking out and watch out for traffic from the other side using your night lights only with turns... Yeah, not something you'll find in frequently used roads, but they do exist)
8:50
Honestly I'd be more worried about *that* sign...
That location is pron to rock slides according to the sign.
The state is of course activly fighting to keep rock slide risks low, but new rocks ends up being loose every year and no matter how much work you do to protect the road there will always be some risk.
17:43
The "Å" is *not* an "A" but a completely different letter, just so you know. ;-)
Awesome...travel is education
Thank you for the tour of a part of the world I'll probably never get to see.
Gorgeous scenery hope you had a fantastic trip merry christmas
Gorgeous, so glad you're shooting this in 4K.
Enjoyed Every Second Of The Journey!👏
Beautiful pictures video
As you finally approached Nordkapp the joy in your voice evident! What an adventure! Maybe once I’m on the road, I’ll put my van on a ship and tour Europe and Scandinavia. How about driving from there to Cape Town, South Africa?
Cool video, thanks! Same here, I like to check the supermarkets abroad, that sometimes annoy my travel companions :P You often see people from northern Norway shopping in northern Finland and enjoying some 'after ski', with or without the snow.. Northern Finland is their Cancun ;)
Wonderful video, thanks again for making these videos! I bought your music CD and love it, I play it all day at work.
Great video. Like it. Could see place otherwise impossible to visit.
Really well done! You have the best travel videos!
Robert bedankt, very very nice.
Those few intrepid motorcyclists ...... thanks for taking us all to the “top of the world” !!!!
Sometimes I wonder what your music reminds me. I thought about Jean-Michel Jarre and Mike Oldfield and your music has a bit of same, but this is something new. Because of your new music I dug out my old Fleetwood Mac-records.
I like Jarre. It is possible I got some influence :-)
Wow! - So you actually found your way to _this_ part of the world Robert! - Such a contrast to watch when compared to your trips in the US, especially when you were down in Florida! - I think your choice of music was fitting to the rather 'monotonous' scenery approaching the cape plateau, but, after having been following you to so many interesting and beautiful places, @ 10:15 I was almost relieved to hear your original 'RV-song' again! 🙂 Safe travels wherever you may go my friend!😉Cheers!🍻
Thank you. It was a once in a lifetime trip.
Such a memorable journey! Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome. Glad you liked it. It was memorable for sure.
Hi, I will leave a comment to all your great videos I had seen from you. It's always a pleasure to see them.Can´t wait for the next journey from you.
Thanks for sharing.Stephan from Germany
Thank you!
Love it Robert! Just getting back from vacation ourselves and are getting caught up on your adventures. Really enjoying your Nordic trek so far. Great footage!
Your videos always blow me away! Can't wait to visit some of these places myself!
Thanks! It was a once in a lifetime trip for sure
An epic journey for sure.
Beautiful place.
Wow what a great trip. Thanks for sharing.
First of your videos for me and I will certainly be having a look at your previous work.
Ounce again thanks from South Wales 👍
Thank you. Glad you liked it
Spectacular video. Fabulous journey. Good new music and interesting historical controversy between countries. Congrats. Go ahead.....>>>>>
Wow! You did an amazing job on the video and music! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you!
Wonderful sights. Thanks so much.
Yes it was wonderful. One of my favorite trips. You're welcome.
I liked the supermarket the best and was surprised at how many items had English descriptions on the packages.
A great video! I will have to take my dog sled and go. Your trip has Foxies Dog tongue hanging out. What a beautiful trip.
That is so amazing! I love your channel!
The troll at the end is the same troll thats in Epcot Disney in the Norway Pavilion!
wow...that's an awesome adventure.
Thank you! I live in Sweden and have actually never seen this special place on video (or for real) Been thinking of driving up there from Stockholm..... but its soo far away, and barren land with pricy hotels etc. RV would be A good choice (Oscar the second was A Swedish king, at this time Sweden and Norway was ONE country)
Mike Le Suèdois My grandparents came from Malmo, Sweden! My mom asked my grandmother why she named her son. “Oscar.?” My Grandmother said, “If Oscar is good enough for the King of Sweden, it is good enough for my son!”
Sweden and Norway - ONE country....really!!!!
So is that the swedish take on history...
Norway was established as one nation many hundred years before Sweden even excisted.
Up through history Sweden has attacked Norway several times and stolen large land terrltories. Same story with Denmark. None of their neighbours were left to live in peace. Even (what is today) Germany. Polen and Ukraine was invaded by the swedes.
Ask the people in Finland or in the Baltics about beeing under swedish control. I don't think they will call it ONE country.
In 1814 - after near 450 years as a depleted colony under Denmark - Norway declared independence.
( Norway lost their territories.of Faero-islands. Iceland and Greenland to Denmark.)
The swedes had nothing in Norway to do. But they seized the opportumity and attacked. invaded and forced under their control - a defenceless Norway. .
In 1905 Norway again declared independence and again Sweden threatened with war. Luckily that was avoided.
So don't come with some BS about Sweden and Norway as ONE country as if it was a happy marrage. There were no equallity and volontary partnership.
You could have saved
me the time to write this if you could stick to the historic facts, by writing: Oscar was the king of Sweden which at that time controlled Norway.
Maybe you should spend some time reading history.. Just saying. Good luck..
Loved the video.... so cool.... thanks Robert....
Great Video once again!, If you like that landscape. A trip to west coast Canada is a must. BC & Alberta, I’ve been out there a couple times and fall in love with it more and more each time. To me there’s nothing more beautiful than the Canadian Rockies
Would love to see a video series from you out there
My very interesting tour in Norway because I driving by car on Lerdal tunnel, the longest tunnel road in the world 24,5 km.I touring by super bike on Trollstigen road, one of very dangerous road in the world.I traveling by Flambana mountain train,watching waterfall song,one of the world's Most beautiful train.I hiking Briksdal Glacier and Trollveggen,the tallest vertical rock wall in Europe1100 m.I sailing by Hurtigruten Cruise,the World's Most beautiful voyage
Really enjoyed your video,what a beautiful trip.....
Wonderful.
Meus Parabéns!! Belo trabalho, amo a Noruega.
Obrigado
Robert, I enjoyed the journey.
Thank.you.bro.super.vedeo
Wonderful video!
Thank you! It was a wonderful trip.
by the way, the Trollfjord is not a cruise ship, its a passenger ferry that runs up the coast.
Love your videos! Next up should be the southernmost point then... =D
The very northern part looks like Iceland.
Almost the same latitude. I would love to visit Iceland.
Fun fact: it's actually further north than Iceland. For example Helsinki in Finland is at the same latitude as the southern tip of Greenland. There's a warm ocean current that goes between Iceland and Norway that keeps the Nordic countries relatively warm in the summertime, which is why the entire place isn't covered in snow all year round like Greenland.
Not even close. Iceland is further south by a good margin.
@@TravelingRobert Sorry. but you are wrong. North Cape are far north of anything on Iceland. All of Iceland are south of the artic cirkle. It is some mystery to me why people can't look at a map. Iceland are not so far north as people believe.
Wish you luck on your travels. Cheers from an artic dude.
Great video thanks for the the getaway.
Thank you!
Great vlog and video composition!
Thank you!
Nice video once again! It's a pity that you had a little bad weather there, but as you know it can be anything between snowstorm and sun and warmness there in june. I drove to Nordkapp several years ago and there were no snow at all anywhere, but it was in the end of july. Nordkapp is quite a tourist trap but a place that you should see at least once in the lifetime at least if you're European. I am waiting for your video about Lofoten islands!
41:00 - There’s a nearly identical troll at the Norway pavilion in Epcot.
I grew up there.
Hello from RV-buddy from Finland.. This year we skipped nordkapp and went to vardo instead in east Norway.. Also worth checking out !
Cool. I have to go back some day with more time.
If you go to Vardø, then you have to go to Hamningberg
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamningberg
Next time, I think you should go to Havøysund, not far away from Honningsvåg. Have you heard about the U2 spy plane?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_U-2
Well, that spy lived in a fjord, called Bakfjord on the way to Havøysund. He nearly made a world war. Selmer Nilsen was his name.
Fantastic !
Thank you
HAVE YOU DRIVEN THE CABOT TRAIL IN CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA ??? ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS !!!!!!
GROS MORNE NATIONAL PARK IN THE PROVINCE OF NEWFOUNDLAND, CANADA IS VERY BREATHTAKING AS WELL !!!!
Not yet. Added it to my map
Que buenas imagines...
Has anyone told you that you sound like ‘Puss in boots’ from Shrek? You have a great speaking voice! 😂 🐈
You did a really good job at capturing the scenery... this makes me very jealous!
Robe maybe the next big trip should be to the Southernmost place in the WORLD!! La Patagonia maybe in Argentina!!!
How to top off going to the northernmost point of a mainland continent? Going to the northernmost city in the world, which I believe is Longyearbyen in Svalbard.
Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway.
Narrow road but 2 rvis going throu at the same time xD wow so narrow.. bro
