Beautiful arctic landscapes - Honestly one of the best tours I have done. The arctic landscape was unbelievable, I think I had something in mind and my expectations were 100% fulfilled. We arrived from Tromsø to Sommarøy and it was stunning. Also our guide Henrik was extremely good and prepared, he explained us a lot of interesting things and replied to all my (many) questions. Definitely recommend this tour!

Great time off the crowded tracks... and beautiful landscapes - Our guide was great for conversation, sightseeing and pictures
After intense days with whale watching and nights with northern lights hunting, we tried this much shorter excursion and off track excursion which was clsoe to Tromso
Landscapes were great from sandy beaches to fjords and our guide sent us VERY NICE pictures of use in different settings which greatly added to the character of this experience

Perfect Introduction To Arctic Landscape - This tour is an excellent way to experience the stunning arctic Norwegian landscape in an easy and very accessible manner. The stops and views were all spectacular, and our guide Evgeni knowledgeable, flexible, helpful and fun! We spotted reindeer on a couple of occasions, and had ample time in a beautiful, gleaming white beach at Grøtfjord. Our last stop, the Bryggejentene café at Ersfjordbotn is not only a place with fantastic views of the fjord, but also houses an utterly charming homeware and interiors boutique.

An excellent experience - This was a small-group tour, just seven participants and totally worth the expenditure. Our guide, Ellie, was excellent: personable, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a safe driver. Ellie had a choice of spots where she could stop and selected them based on weather conditions and the interest of each person in the group. We enjoyed spectacular views from the best vantage points, reindeer spotting, citizen science and a home-made lunch on an arctic beach in bright sunshine. A well-earned five stars!

An incredible tour! - It was an amazing tour! Evgeni drove us to the highlights surrounding Tromsø and the islan of Kvaløya. We got to see beautiful Fjords, take amazing pictures and enjoy an delicious lunch provided by Wandering Owl on a rocky beach with good weather! I would highly recommend this experience in the summer too, one gets to see beautiful scenery and the surrounding nature :) I will be happy to do it again!

Fantastic fjord exploration and surroundings of Tromso - What a lovely experience! Ellie, our tour guide, was outstanding and really knowleadgeable, providing us with lots of insights and excellent hospitality on this tour. We enjoyed every minute of it and can highly recommend Wandering Owl. Choosing a tour provider is never easy, but with Ellie you can't go wrong. Tromso and its surrounding landscapes are simply breathtaking and stunning.

Great way of discovering the area around Tromso - It was nice to have Evgeni as our guide. He showed us many nice places where we could take beautiful pictures of for instance fjords. We also had the luck to see some reindeers. A big advantage to be guided by a local. :)
