Built in 1655, Lindesnes is Norway's oldest lighthouse. It lies on the southernmost tip of the Norwegian mainland — 1,564 miles from North Cape. The lighthouse is home to the National Lighthouse Museum and boasts various exhibits relating to the development and history of lighthouses and Norway's maritime culture.
As you arrive at South Cape, the lighthouse host greets you. Watch a film about the history of the headlight; then, join your guide for a tour through the museum. Climb to the top of the lighthouse for a fantastic view over the coastal landscape. South Cape is a unique and beautiful landscape in both sunny and stormy weather. It has a dramatic feeling because the forces of the weather and nature converge here to make for a stunning setting and ever-changing light. Watch the waves smashing against the rocks below before you head back inside for a home-baked lighthouse muffin and a cup of coffee or tea.
It's then time to head back towards Mandal. En route back to the ship, a panoramic drive introduces you to Mandal's landmarks.
