Take a walk on the wild side of Tromsø on this small-group outdoor hiking tour and explore the Arctic nature on foot. You'll be taken to the countryside of Tromsø in the middle of beautiful mountains, fjords and valleys, where you and your group will snowshoe up a small mountain or along a valley with a guide. On the tour we will be using snowshoes, which makes it easier and a lot of fun to walk on the snow.
In the autumn months (October and November), you'll get to enjoy the colourful countryside before it is covered with a thick layer of snow. When there is not much snow, the tour is a hiking tour without snowshoes.

Our experience has been wonderful. Our guide Nicolas has been charming, patient and very wise, explaining everything in relation to the mountains, the valley and the animals that inhabit it!!! Highly recommended. We have gone with young children and have had the detail of bringing sleds to play during the excursion!! Thank you.

Great walk, our guide Evgeni was kind and attentive to everyone being able to follow the hike, allowing breaks when necessary. This makes the whole group arrived at the summit in good conditions and was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and the good homemade snack😀. Evgeni took beautiful pictures of the band members he sent us!

I was warned that snowshoeing can be a real workout and they are not wrong. However, well worth it! The views were stunning and the guide was fantastic.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Aneta, was fabulous. I will say the activity was more strenuous than I thought. However, Aneta, and the entire group were extremely supportive and patient. The scenery was unbelievable… absolutely stunning! Thank you Wandering Owl for an unforgettable time!

This was an amazing hike! Absolutely beautiful views and we had the best time sliding down the hills. They provided a delicious Vegan/vegetarian lunch and warm drinks. The guides Nicolas and Jens were very helpful and personable. They made sure everyone was comfortable. Highly recommend this tour!
