The Wandering Owl guides... - The Wandering Owl guides know their stuff. We had fantastic views of the lights. Pick up and drop off at the cruise terminal worked well.

Northern lights - Gerard was wonderful! Vitek the driver also was great. They brought us to a secluded spot where we saw 360 degree lights. Got us back to the cruise ship exactly as promised.

Great! - I finally saw the Northern Lights — after a failed attempt last year in Finland, Wandering Owl made it happen! Their guides are incredibly skilled: they follow weather updates in real time and take you where the sky is clearest, even when conditions look tough. The experience was warm, personal, and deeply respectful of nature. Highly recommended, especially if you’re looking for a sustainable and meaningful Aurora hunt.

100% recommended - Amazing tour, we had zero hopes to be able to watch an Aurora because the day had been cloudy and snowing, but thanks to the costant sync of Isaac and Vitek with other colleagues and taking into account the forecast we were able to see an aurora. Amazing team!

Glowing performance from the lights, Isaac and Adam - Wow! Isaac and Adam were absolutely terrific. The lights were also a glowing success. What a delight. My gluten free dietary was well taken care of.

Excellent guide. Best of the best. - Entertaining guide and very professional. Best of the tours in Tromsø. Thomas is the best guide in the world. He is excellent. And it will be sad if he ever leaves Tromsø.

Highly recommend booking! - The BEST choice for aurora hunting. I’m so glad I had booked his in addition to my tour activities because the experience was top notch compared to other “aurora safaris.” Joan and Adam did a great job finding us a location which was dark and undisturbed by drivers passing by. We got the show of a lifetime and I am so thankful. Joan kept checking in to make sure we were warm. They also provided warm drinks and cookies. So thankful for the experience and highly recommend.

Dedicated driver and guide - Evgeni and Kuhn were our driver and guide. They went out of their way to try and find a spot where we would see the aurora and get some pictures. Evgeni was a very safety-minded driver, which was very important. The weather during our visit to Tromso was not the best for aurora hunting- that was just how that week went. But Evgeni and Kuhn were very mindful that we had traveled a long way for this experience and did their absolute best. Both men were very personable, which added a fun element to the night of long driving and waiting because we got to meet new people and share different cultural backgrounds.

Great guide - Wandering Owl was very honest and efficient the day before when they contacted us to cancel our original booking due to bad weather conditions. It was super easy to reschedule for the next day. Again, conditions were far from ideal, but Anna and Adam did their very best to find gaps in the sky so that we could at least take a peek of the aurora. Anna is nice, has a smart sense of humour and knows how to balance keeping the group entertained with just letting us enjoy the tour quietly at our pace. Best guide we had in Norway.
