Once you have reached Nordkapp, your best bet to hitch out (which involves you return back from where you came) is to hitch a ride at the NordKapp Hall itself, or at the parking lot. You should at least manage to get a ride to the nearest town of '''Honningsvåg''' or with luck even manage to get out of Magerøya Island.
AnyhowAlso, the distances normally you are so big that walking out of the place is basically useless since Nordkapp is anyway the emission zone supposed to pay a ridiculous amount of all traffic in money for getting onto the areanorth cape plateau. The same applies when it comes to leave the island while hitching from HonningsvågHowever, it is better they only charge you this fee if you arrive by car or motorcycle. Not if you are walking or cycling. Therefore its best to stay at the crossroad get out of the E69 at car about one km before the entrance of the town instead of walking along the road toll booth and walk your way around it. Nobody will bother you and into any of if they ask, you've obviously walked all the 4km+ tunnelsway.
There is two things to bear in mindAnyhow, the Tunnel to Magerøya Island distances are so big that walking out of the place is toll per passenger in the car (both ways). You might therefore have to pay your due. However, there basically useless since Nordkapp is a general tolerance to tourists cycling, walking, and backpacking.To avoid paying anyway the one-way fee (NOK 48,-/€6 per passenger emission zone of all traffic in 2007), on the way area. The same applies when it comes to leave the island ask your driver to drop you out between the tunnel and the Bomstasjon (pronounced boumstashiôn)while hitching from Honningsvåg, and it is better to please wait for you on stay at the other side. Just walk around the station. The people will not mind, as they have to charge passengers in crossroad of the car E69 at the tollbooth. You can wave at them to show your gratitude.On entrance of the way out town instead of walking along the island towards road and into any of the mainland4km+ tunnels. Also, walk around the station and hitch tunnels are toll free since a few meters before the tunnelyear or so.
