Each moment of this excursion was enjoyable. Ellie had excellent knowledge of the area and Northern Lights and answered all questions with enthusiasm. The driver, Michael, was friendly and helpful. Included equipment (i.e., thermal suits, boots, soup/hot drinks, etc) made a difference because those were items we didn't have to pack and were able to save space in our luggage. The Northern Lights themselves were phenomenal and breath-taking. Ellie was a pro at taking and sharing pictures of both the Northern lights and all of the people on our trip. Highly recommend!

A great day with Anthony in Tromsö. Norway. We got out into the countryside to enjoy the beauty the area offers. A relaxed day in nature. Anthony was a pleasure - very helpful in pointing out items of interest. Lunch on the beach was very nice. We saw reindeer on the beach! This fit into the limited time we had in port and was one of the highlights of our Norwegian visit. The pictures Anthony took on our tour are amazing.

We initially booked an all day hike with Wandering Owl for our cruise port stop in Tromso, but due to the unavailability of a guide, we were given the opportunity to join this alternative landscape and photography tour. While not as active as hiking, this turned out to be one of our best days in Norway. We visited stunning view points both in the mountains and at the sea and had time to really explore and soak in the natural beauty. We had gorgeous weather and my daughter loved wading in the water and playing in the sand at the beach. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay in these places all day. Wandering Owl was easy to work with, always quick to respond to all email inquiries, and provided excellent directions before the tour. Our guide Ellie was so friendly and passionate, sharing her love of Norway and how to protect the environment. They provided a delicious vegan picnic lunch as well. We couldn’t have hoped for a better day!

I strongly recommend this tour. I greatly enjoyed a few days in Tromsø, but this tour was definitely the highlight of my stay. Anthony took us to very special places with great views and no people around. He has a very warm and easygoing personality, and he clearly knows and loves the place. During the stops, I liked that he gave us time to take it all in: views, sounds, smells, and even the taste of delicious wild berries. A few hours after the tour, I received a link to the photos he took. They are great and free to download (unless one wishes high resolution for print). Irina
