Tromso Aurora Hunt with Bonfire, Meal, Winter Suit & Photos

Angela_L, Apr 2026

Night under the Aurora

From pick up to drop off; the Wandering Owl team was amazing. The night was so well organised and our guide and driver were excellent. We made a couple of stops along the way to experience the beautiful Fiordland before making our final stop to set up camp. The thermal suits and boots were great and after our meal of soup, as we sat around the campfire, we were treated to an amazing Aurora display!!! As we were in our way home, Michael our driver stopped again when he noticed it had appeared again; it was even brighter and more beautiful then!! An amazing once in a lifetime experience for our family. Takk!!

Reindeer Feeding & Sámi Culture Experience

Kirsty_P, Apr 2026

If you’re wanting to do...

If you’re wanting to do something a little different & understand the culture of the Saami people - this is one way to do it! We got an hour to hang out with the reindeer followed by a traditional Saami lunch (Reindeer stew) - we were then provided with an understanding on the Saami culture, how important the reindeer are, the traditional dress & even heard about the stories told throughout the generations (mainly revolving around monsters) 🤣 it was rather amusing! Thank you for having me, an experience I will always remember! And one I can happily tell me kids now, that I’m best friends with Santa & the reindeer, so they now must behave 🤪

Above and Beyond—Alen Made KP1 Worth It

We joined three different aurora tours during our stay in Tromsø, and our tour with Alen stood out as one of the best. Forecasts had initially suggested KP 4 activity, but it dropped to KP 1 just an hour before the tour started, which likely explains why the tour was delayed and began at 8PM. Despite the less favorable conditions, Alen made the effort to drive us deep into Finland to avoid cloud cover, and we were still rewarded with clear views and photos of a KP1 aurora. His dedication really made the difference. He ensured everyone was comfortable throughout, and even after a long night, dropped us back at the hotel slightly after 4AM. The tea was a thoughtful touch, and the Mesterbakeren blueberry pound cake—though simple—was surprisingly enjoyable. Overall, a very well-run experience. Alen is a capable and committed guide, and we would definitely recommend this tour.

Snowmobile Adventure to 3-Country Border

Madeleine_A, Apr 2026

Fantastic day. Excellent...

Fantastic day. Excellent guide. Minibus took us to Finland, then we were briefed on how to use the snowmobile and off we went driving on the frozen lake. Stopped at the 3 border marker and another stop we were given hot berry juice and food. A memorable experience.

Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding

William_B, Mar 2026

While in Finland and...

While in Finland and Norway, we enjoyed many arctic activities, but this was our favorite. We’re animal lovers and appreciate a thrill, and this offered both. The people were so kind and educated us on how to do the activity properly but also on how they (and more importantly, the pups!) prepare for it. Although it’s not ideal for children, we brought our 7-year-old and they made it safe and fun for all of us. There are lots of husky opps in the north, but this one appears to be one truly caring for the dogs. The dogs seem happy and are so eager to go for a fun run through the beautiful mountain side. I have no interest in a sport that gratifies me but at the same of the health and happiness of an animal, and these guys seem to do such an amazing job that both humans and pups are healthy and happy to be there.

Tromsø: Arctic Fjord Cruise & Fishing Experience

Filipa_R, Mar 2026

100% recommend it!

Great experience!! A perfect look into the arctic fjords with interesting facts on the local wildlife and Tromso culture. Despite the cold and windy weather, it was still completely worth it! The guides provided thermal suits, which allowed us to stay outside and do some fishing. Someone in the group caught a cod that was used for one of the best fish shoups I had in my life (thanks Paolo!). Overall, great experience with super friendly guides at a reasonable price compared to other offers.

Tromsø: Chasing the Aurora – We Go Where The Lights Appear

Samuel_G, Mar 2026

Incredible Experience - Highly Recommend this company (and Harry as your guide)

Absolutely fantastic. It didn't hurt that we had amazing viewing of the northern lights, but Harry, our guide was incredible- super knowledgeable, palpable excitement about the hunt and what we were seeing, walked us through the science of the lights and his process for predicting where to go see them. There were 12 of us in a van for 15 (17 including driver and guide), but we did not feel cramped and it was easy to get in and out. The reindeer sausage, cookies, tea and cocoa were all tasty and appreciated. We experienced some incredible lights and Harry was constantly at the ready to take pro photos of the experience (sent to us that night) so we could concentrate on enjoying the lights rather than fiddling with our cameras. Our tour was listed as 6-8 hours - many others listed were as 6 hour or 6-7 hours. I mention this because a noteworthy moment was close to the six hour mark Harry decided to change locations as our then location was starting to get some clouds - it would have been easy to coast to the six hour point and call it a night, but instead Harry stated we should try another location about 30 minutes away - where we arrived just in time for an incredible "substorm" that floored us all. In my mind it really spoke to their dedication to showing you an incredible experience - no clock watching or cutting corners. Also afterwards everyone was dropped off at their hotels, not just the city center or meeting spot. Simply every element was well done and provided for a great time. Highly recommend!!!!

Silent Whale Watching by Hybrid-Electric Boat from Tromsø

Garry_A, Jan 2026

Whale Watching Trip

A quality company providing this trip with a very modern boat. We didn't see any Wales on our day, but it is getting towards the end of the season when the Whales move on out of the local feeding areas following the herring as they migrate, so we were just unlucky. The views were still incredible on the tour and we got to see a good display of the Northern Lights as we headed back towards Tromso.
