Magical Experience - Great trip, even in the snowstorm with the hurricane in the castes. Guiden Jakob, was incredibly good. A patient and humorous guide with a glimpse in the eye to sit on incredibly much knowledge. He was very proven and very careful that everyone who was in the group was both dressed correctly for the trip and that everyone was included, took breaks along the way to gather the group. We both got to see two mosquito socks and wildrein. The experience itself and the tour will get a dice cast 6

To experience Moskus in close proximity. - Super experience. Our great grandfather of 81 years was with us, and we had a nice trip with him and his grandchildren. Saw a lot of animals and had a great trip 😁

Highly recommended to take this trip with an experienced guide. - We've seen a lot of them. Both from quite near and far. Guide brought telescope so we could also see them up close. Our expectations were met very quickly, after only an hour of walking we already saw them. Highly recommended!!

Guided tour on scouting for musk oxen - We got to see musk oxen on several occasions during a rewarding tour with very knowledgeable guide Jakob. In addition to sharing interesting stories and facts about the musk oxen, the guide ensures that excursions are on the musk oxen’s terms. Easy hiking terrain and plenty of time to eat your lunch during the stops. Binoculars or hiking sticks are available for rent for those who need them.

Fun hike and great to see muskox! - This was a really enjoyable trip. They take you out to spots where you can see the muskox, which I think was in Konsvoll. We then hiked up a range of hills and in addition to beautiful scenery were able to see some muskox. The guide, Jacob, gave an informative talk. We were able to ask a range of questions and learn all about Norwegian nature. Because there were a lot of people they split the group in two and this ensured that everyone got the most out of the experience.

Intensive day walking tour in beautiful surroundings. - A very nice intensive walking tour. Fine guide who took into account the difference in walking pace. The musk oxen were very high so the hike was tough. The scenery is beautiful. This trip is intensive and requires some fitness and can rise and fall but is definitely recommended.

Musk oxen far away - I'll do the hike on my own next time. We've seen the animals, but I would have expected us to get closer. You could see something with the guide's telescope. We were 18 in the group, took a lot of breaks. I probably had too high expectations from the other reviews.
