An unbelievable and magnificent experience! - Many thanks to the Wandering Owl agency for providing us with this unforgettable night, with so much care, safety, and expertise. The guide Magda and the driver Michael showed all their love and knowledge of the Arctic, Tromsø, and the Arctic. We had an excellent experience at all times with the agency, responding to all contacts quickly before the tour, providing safe and unforgettable transportation and experience during the tour, and delivering the photos and responding to contacts after the tour. Congratulations on the service provided and thank you very much for everything.

Top Trip With a Top Guide - Our guide Peter and driver Chris were ultimate experts on the Northern Lights. If anyone can find the lights it is these guys so don’t bother with any other company.

Amazing Experience - We were very lucky to have Aneta as our guide for our Northern Lights chase on 14 January. She is an excellent driver, a knowledgeable guide, and a skilled photographer. Aneta was incredibly persistent in finding the best locations to give us the best possible view of the Northern Lights. She was also very patient and inviting when helping us pose for beautiful photographs. This was truly a memorable experience, and we will definitely be sharing it with our friends.

Stunning Aurora trip! Isaac and Michael nailed it!! - Michael and Isaac were incredible!! We were picked up on time at our pick up point outside the hotel, the guidance was very clear from the start. Issac was an incredible guide and his knowledge of the local area and the Aurora was outstanding!! The whole trip was absolutely incredible! We were so lucky to have an entire night of watching the sky completely full of lights! We saw all the colours you could imagine, dancing light columns of colours with the reflection of this on the Fjords - just MAGICAL!!! We were taken outside the city lights to 3 different locations with no light pollution, the final stop was at a Fjord to the very north and there was ZERO light pollution, we stopped there for a few hours. Once we arrived at the main stop we were provided snow boots and a full snow suit, I would advise wearing your own full warm gear though as the first couple of stops you'll need it! Also take hand warmers! You WILL need them! We were given wonderful hot freshly made vegetable soup (& bread) which was delicious!! Then we had coffee and later some locally made hot chocolate & cookies - they looked after us extremely well. This is one of the best trips we have ever done, Issac was so informative throughout and Michael our driver managed to get us across the islands despite everything being completely snow and ice covered! Highly recommend this trip - but do wrap in proper winter gear, take lots of hand warmers and take a phone charger as after taking so many pictures you'll probably drain your battery! You also get sent all the best out of the stunning photos they take (Isaac took >300 on our tour!!), so you don't need to worry if your phone camera isn't great. 1000% worth the money!!!

Once in a lifetime -- NOT to be missed - Issac and Olivier were amazing guide & driver! Both gentlemen's excitement over the quality of the Auroras was infectious. Issac in particular was positive, high energy, and very engaging. His scientific knowledge of what we were seeing in the atmosphere was remarkable. Also, his knowledge of the connections between astronomy and Greek mythology was impressive. And, I haven't even gotten to his photographs! The guy is amazing -- he's a photographer, too! Spend the money to buy a couple of his photos in the highest quality pixalation -- truly remarkable!

Had a great time. Magda... - Had a great time. Magda was extremely knowledgeable and knew a great private backup spot when the first place we went was too crowded. The lights were amazing.

Aurora tour with guide Mia - This was a big group trip for a friend’s birthday, we were incredibly lucky with the amazing lights but even luckier with having Mia as our guide. She truly looked after us and made the experience one to remember. Her knowledge of the lights, friendly personality and amazing photography skills were honestly invaluable.
