North Cape Tunnel is one of the longest subsea road tunnels in Norway. It is located in Nordkapp Municipality in Finnmark county in the far northern part of Norway. The tunnel goes under the Magerøysundet strait between the Norwegian mainland to the large island of Magerøya. The tunnel was built between 1993 and 1999, along with the Honningsvåg Tunnel to connect the mainland to the town of Honningsvåg and to the tourist attraction at North Cape. The tunnel was officially opened on 15 June 1999 by king Harald V of Norway. The tunnel is long and reaches a depth of below the sea level. Before the tunnel was built, a ferry carried the traffic across the sea between Kåfjord and Honningsvåg.
