5.00Did a day trip with Max and saw some amazing Fjords, especially Grotenfjord. It was nothing like what we had seen before. Max was informative and passionate about explaining things to us. We had a picnic with home made sandwiches and Cacao and the setting was perfect. Thank you Max and the Wandering Owl team for making our trip memorable!!
Great experience seeing the Arctic by day!

5.00We had a very enjoyable day, our guide was knowledgeable and looked after the group well. If you want a taste of the amazing scenery around Tromso then this is a good tour. The tour is via a mini bus or mini van and is not into the wild. They stopped at many points along the way explaining the various locations.
Super tour to the fjords

5.00The tour was super organized. Group size was 8 which we found great. Our guide Max explained a lot about the fjords and Norway. Midday snack was delicious. The photos which are taken and free are really nice.
See more of the area than just Tromso before your aurora tour!

5.00A friend and I booked "Arctic Road Trip from Tromso" with Wandering Owl, as we had a day to fill while waiting to go on an evening aurora tour and wanted to see more of the area than just Tromso. Bart was a great guide and made every effort to take us to some great spots for views, photos, and different landscapes. I was very comfortable with his driving and appreciated the info he shared about the area at each stop. He gave us plenty of time for photos but also kept the tour moving along to maximize our experience. He got us away from the "big bus" tour stops as soon as possible, which we appreciated. This was a great way to see more of the area but also have enough time to relax a little and transition to going on an evening aurora tour. At some stops you could walk further out on hard-pack snow, so if you're not accustomed to or comfortable with slippery surfaces, YakTrax/"spikes" might be helpful. Thank you, Bart!!! ~ Toshi (and Liz)
A lovely trip!
