Come with us for your Aurora hunt for an amazing and ethical experience underneath the Aurora Borealis. Leave the light pollution in Tromsø behind and travel into the Arctic wilderness. During this tour, our small team of Aurora guides check the forecasts & use local knowledge to decide on the best place to chase the Northern Lights. When we find the best spot, we will dress in warm thermal suits and boots, make a cosy campfire, and enjoy a homemade meal.

You'll be shown how to use your camera, photograph the Aurora, and our guides will take photos of you, available for free in web-sized resolution after the tour.

During our time together in the wilderness, we will collect data for a citizen science project and help protect the Arctic nature through responsible tourism.

Enjoy our hot chocolate before being returned to Tromsø island to your hotel. Though there is never a guarantee of seeing this phenomenon, our experienced team will do their best every night of the season.

    An excellent and fruitful aurora trip. Our guide was informative and enthusiastic. He found an excellent space and waited that extra 30 minutes that let us see dancing auroras right I front of our eyes!

  • One bucket list checked!

    The only tour I booked @ Tromso and finally I could tick off one of my bucket list. All was as expected, even we were able to see the northern lights even though it was already in the beginning of April. Shout out to Samuele and Michael for the amazing trip. Just one little improvement: dinner was only soup with bread, as expected, so I brought my own dinner...

    Sam (our guide) was very friendly and knowledgeable - most importantly he got us to where we could see the lights and get some incredible pictures! The included soup, cookies, and hot drinks were a nice touch, as well as the boots and thermal suits for those that needed them.

  • Once in a lifetime experience

    An excellent adventure. Isaac was an exceptional host with a great sense of humor, knowledge and interest in his customers. Knew the area to go to and continuously monitored for updated activity. He made sure everyone was cared for and comfortable.

    Incredible experience with Isaac! We saw the lights on a night that was predicted to have terrible weather. Really the predictions were so bad during the day and they even told us earlier in the day that our hunt would be "challenging". But Isaac took us right a comfy spot to get setup. (The thermal suits and boots are INCREDIBLE). And immediately we starting seeing the aurora. Isaac was very attentive to people on the tour and he really wanted to make sure we were comfortable and safe while experiencing this cool phenomenon. We had some bomb ass veggie soup, coffee, and hot chocolate that was all provided. Pickup and drop off were easy peasy. Wandering Owl is also super responsive to questions which was really helpful for me. I would 100% recommend this company and tour.
