Best company for aurora hunting - This was the best part of our trip. It was so fun we actually went twice. The first night we went with Magda and Michael and they were incredible. The weather conditions were not great but they managed to find the best spot for the aurora and we were rewarded at midnight with some activity. We also had a lot of fun around the fireplace while waiting for the aurora to come out. The next day we went with Isaac and we saw some insane activity. Absolutely incredible! 1000% recommend this company. Also, the food and drinks they provide is really good. Everything is lactose free and vegan so everyone can have it.

We were guided on our Aurora hunt by Anna, who took care of everything. It was a rainy night in Tromso, but we saw it! - Anna was a wonderful guide. She drove for a little while, stopping at a gas station for snacks and a bathroom break. She checked in with another aurora guide to discuss the best shot for finding a break in the clouds. We ended up going to a valley with its own micro-climate — still cold, but clear skies! Anna set up a campfire, served us warm soup and drinks, handed out warm clothing and boots (if needed), took pictures of us with the lights in the sky (much better than my iPhone pics), and told us stories about the local cultures and how they viewed the lights. It was our favorite tour/activity during our 6 days in Tromso. Our number one goal was to see the Northern Lights—mission accomplished! Thanks so much, Anna!

Amazing Aurora - What a magical night! Our guide, Evgeni, took us further north to a Fjord, and the backdrop was beautiful. We were unbelievably lucky and privileged with our light show, emotions shared by Evgeni, his genuine passion clear to see. We were offered everything to be comfortable - clothing, boots, mats to sit on, homemade soup, hot chocolate & cookies, and a camp fire. Evgeni took many photos for those who wanted them, ensuring he was happy with what he was capturing. His knowledge of the area, the lights, and the science behind them was excellent - answering any questions and telling us about local cultures, the myths & legends. To just watch, with the sound of the water against the shore... The night was more than we (my partner & our 12yr old) could have hoped for. When packing up to leave it was ensured we cleared everything, and gave the space back to nature, as we had found it. We made a another stop on the way back, to witness the lights from a different view point. What a night, we had it all, thank you Wandering Owl, and of course, Evgeni!

Aurora Hunt in Tromsø 27/10/2025 - We go on 27th of October in the mini-bus with Michael and Kun. The day was really clear and we saw espectacular Nothern Lights. Kun made a lot of photos all around the place and also explained a lot of information about these Nothern Lights. We stay in a clear area arround a fire and having dinner with a hot soup and drink beverages. We recommended to everyone this activity

Unique experience! - After only about 45 minutes of driving, we were incredibly lucky to see the Northern Lights in their full glory – intense, colourful and unforgettable. The team was not only super nice, but also very curious and explained many exciting facts to us. In addition, they took beautiful photos of us with the lights. We ended the evening comfortably by the campfire with a delicious soup, hot chocolate, tea and cookies. An absolute recommendation! However, it should be noted that the sighting of the Northern Lights depends on weather and other factors.

Aurora. Soup. Hot chocolate. Everything you ever wished for - Drove 40 minutes, got out and enjoyed over 3 hours of crazy Northern Lights activity, while eating soup at the campfire and enjoying coffee and hot chocolate. I mean Coen and Michael would have been able to entertain us without the phenomenal experience here, because they are knowledgeable and fun to be around. But since the scene was so spectacular, they could show off their photography skills and we got great memories in form of awesome portraits in front of Northern Lights. 10 / 5 stars. Would sell one of my kidneys to do it again. (Or just, you know, buy another ticket)

Incredible dancing lights on a clear night outside of Tromsø! - The guides were very experienced and identified the perfect spot to watch the auroras! They were also friendly and informative about how the phenomena works. I would recommend them for future tours.
