We booked this tour directly on the Wandering Owl website. When we arrived at the pick-up point, our guide Thomas invited us into the minivan (eight people), after giving us some useful information. We were immediately put at ease, seeing that Thomas is passionate about his activity around the northern lights. He made sure to involve the whole group while he gave us explanations on the formation of the auroras, and on the region during the hour of driving to the observation spot he had selected. When we arrived at the site, we did not wait long before being astonished by the awesome show that was coming: intense activity for two hours with auroras producing green and red tones (quite rare). An explosion around and above us! Even Thomas was amazed by the show! After the “Great Aurora Show”, we stayed another two hours to chat around a campfire, tasting the hot soup prepared for us. The group of eight people was very communicative and varied (coming from the U.S., U.K. France) and each participant, encouraged by Thomas, spoke about their personal experiences freely without any apprehension. I think we were really lucky with a clear sky, the right location, and intense activity of the auroras. I really want to congratulate Wandering Owl for the seriousness of the organization, the warm welcome of the participants and their wish to limit the ecological impact of the excursions (food prepared locally, no trace left after the campfire). A big thank you to Thomas who was really great, and exciting to listen to and follow in this beautiful experience.

Our original aurora trip was cancelled due to weather and debating on rescheduling because of our packed trip while in Tromso. I am SO glad we did because the sky was beautiful. Our guide crushed it! We knew from the beginning the plan was to go to Finland for the best viewing possible. We could see some while there but was faint, which was a win for me because we got to see them. But as we were about to leave, the aurora got brighter and was dancing. Tomas our guide, was AMAZING! He was knowledgeable, he was very friendly, and made all feel comfortable. He took many photos for everyone and his passion and excitement for the trip could be felt. Your guide will provide you with an extra thermal suit and boots if needed. You'll get dinner and hot drinks that are very tasty! Please note - just because you have clear skies doesn't mean the aurora will appear. Be patient with it and your guide. I encourage you if you do get to witness this magical phenomenon that you obviously take a photo but just stop, look up, and watch the magic!! It's worth it!

Amazing from start to finish, Anna was an amazing host, told us what was happening and why she went the places she did. Lovely soup and hot chocolate by the fire. To top it off we saw the lights even though it was the worst weather.

Definitely one of the best experiences of my life. Our guide was very friendly and has a lot of knowledge about the northern lights.

Strongly recommend! Our guide Jodnas is always optimistic and keep finding not just good spot but also the safe spot due to the icy road!
