Tromsø: Anmeldelse af Express Aurora Hunt with Wandering Owl
Beskrivelse
Kom med til vores Express Aurora Hunt og få en garanteret hurtig tilbagevenden til Tromsø centrum. Læg byens lys bag dig og rejs ind i den arktiske ørken. Under denne aktivitet, vores lille team af Aurora guider tjekke prognoserne og bruger lokal viden til at beslutte det bedste sted at jage nordlys inden for en times kørsel fra byen. På denne aktivitet, vil vi rejse hvor det ser mest sikkert og med de bedste chancer for at se nordlyset inden for 1 time fra Tromsø centrum. Når vi kommer til det bedste sted, vil vi vente på, at showet begynder. I mellemtiden vil vores guider fortælle dig historier om nord og videnskaben bag Aurora. Vi vil have dig tilbage til byens centrum 4 timer efter starttidspunktet, så du kan være godt hvilet næste morgen.

Ana our tour guide and Vitek, our driver was great! Our destination, a frozen lake in Finland is a great open area to see the lights. Unfortunately , it was cloudy, so we did not get to see shapes, just a green glow. Fun experience!
We had a wonderful experience thanks to our amazing aurora guide Aneta. Even though conditions were challenging, she never gave up and did everything possible to find clear skies. Her persistence, local knowledge, and positive energy truly made the difference. Thanks to her dedication, we were finally rewarded with a beautiful view of the Northern Lights toward the end of the tour. It was a magical moment and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
Hello, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re happy to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Aneta. Challenging conditions can make Aurora hunting more difficult, so it’s especially rewarding to know that her persistence, local knowledge, and positive energy helped turn the evening into something truly special. Those moments when the skies finally clear and the Northern Lights appear are always magical and we’re so glad you got to experience that. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Arctic adventure in the future!
We participated in this tour twice! Both times we saw the Northern Lights! The first night with Sophie was cold and windy. She took us out to a clearing and we waited for a hole to open up in the clouds. It happened and we saw green and purple lights! We enjoyed the night. The second time We went with Geni. We were unsure again as it was very cloudy as well. Geni found an opening in the clouds not far from the City and again we enjoyed an early night of the Lights! I highly recommend rather then spending the whole night out! The guides were friendly and professional
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for joining us not just once, but twice! We’re thrilled to hear that you were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on both tours, especially with such different conditions. It’s great to know that Sophie and Evgeni were able to adapt to the weather and find those openings in the clouds. We’re also glad you enjoyed the experience of shorter, successful outings rather than staying out all night, and that the guides made you feel comfortable and well looked after. Thank you for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back again for more magical moments under the Arctic sky!
evgeni went far beyond what we would have expected for an express tour supposed to last 4 hours getting back at midnight.Instead we got back at 2.30am having not expected to see anything due to dreadful weather in tromso. We dont know of any other tour that was successful that night so top marks to evgeni !!!
Hello, Thank you so much for your nice review! Top marks to Evgeni indeed, and to you for sticking with it on such a challenging night! Getting back at 2:30am on what was supposed to be a 4-hour express tour tells you everything about how determined he was to make your night a success. We'll make sure Evgeni hears about this, he'll be very proud! Thank you so much for the kind words and we hope to welcome you back someday!
The Express Aurora Hunt with Wandering Owl was amazing! It was a cloudy, rainy night but somehow we succeeded in seeing the aurora! This is the shorter, 4-hour aurora hunt, departing at 8pm and returning to Tromso at midnight. Small group in a minivan, very comfortable and warm. But our guide, Evgeni, was the true hero of this night. He set expectations, we all realized this might be an unsuccessful attempt, but he drove for hours until he found a spot with a clearing in the sky. Slowly the stars started appearing and all of the sudden, there they were! Mind you, this was all occurring at the time we should have already been back in Tromso, but Evgeni cared more about our happiness and excitement than about making it back by midnight. And for that I’m truly grateful! Thank you to Wandering Owl for having the most amazing, flexible and caring guides and a most special thank to Evgeni, you rock! You made so many dreams come true that night for so many of us!
Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful account of your night! A rainy, cloudy evening turning into an aurora sighting is exactly the kind of story we live for, and it's a perfect example of why we never give up on a tour, no matter what the weather looks like at departure. Evgeni is going to love reading this, we'll make sure it reaches him! His willingness to keep driving, keep searching, and put your experience above the clock is exactly the kind of guide we're proud to have on our team. Some things are worth staying out a little past midnight for! Thank you for trusting Wandering Owl with your evening in Tromsø and we hope to see you again under the northern lights someday!
This was an amazing night on the Spring solstice! We were anticipating low activity/cloud cover, but Evgeni was able to push the boundaries a bit on our timing and found a magical spot where we experienced a majestic display. It surpassed expectations, especially since we were only meant to be on an express tour. Evgeni went above and beyond to check in with everyone's time limits and to take photos for us, ensuring we had the best time possible. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated this too, as otherwise I likely would not have achieved a photo of myself with the lights. :)
Hello, Thank you for this wonderful review! The spring solstice can be a tricky time with shorter darkness and unpredictable skies, so we're absolutely delighted that Evgeni was able to work his magic and find you that perfect spot. When the aurora decides to show up like that against the odds, it makes it all the more special! We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Evgeni. Going the extra mile for guests is exactly what he's about, and we love hearing that his attention to everyone's needs, including grabbing those personal photos, made such a difference to your experience. Solo travel should never mean missing out on those moments, and we're so glad you have that photo to look back on! Thank you for choosing Wandering Owl and we hope to welcome you back someday!
Evegeni our guide went far far far beyond anything we could have hoped for on our “4” hour express tour. Instead of getting back at midnight it was 2.30 as we found the lights where other groups had failed!!!
Hello, Thank you for your positive review! We’re thrilled to hear that your guide went above and beyond to make your experience special. Chasing the Northern Lights often means going the extra mile (and time!), so it’s fantastic that his dedication paid off. Thank you for joining us and we’re so glad you got to witness the lights, truly worth the late return!
Despite rain and clouds, we set out with Bert, our brilliant guide, on a journey which in itself was enjoyable, along the coastline, then up into the remote mountains. At the most probable spot, we got out, drank hot berry juice and watched the skies clear enough to see gorgeous stars, but no aurora. Bert had supplies of clothing, boots, more hot drinks whilecwe waited, but this was not our night for her to appear. Bert made the trip still so enjoyable, its always a risk on such a very cloudy night that you won't be lucky, but still was a fun night 😄
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest review! We’re really glad to hear that, despite the challenging weather, you still had an enjoyable and memorable evening with Bart. Sometimes the aurora doesn’t appear, especially on cloudy nights, but it’s great to know that the journey, the landscapes, and the atmosphere still made the experience worthwhile. Creating a positive and enjoyable experience, no matter the conditions, is something we truly value. We really appreciate your understanding of how unpredictable nature can be, and we hope to welcome you back again for another chance to see the lights!
We were a small group of people. The pickup location was easy to find. Our guide, Bart, was very professional. He explained us the concept of the 4h Express Tour which is different than the usually long 8h tours. Knowing that we could only see aurora if it is closer to Tromso in the Express tour, we were not expecting much but Bart ensured that it becomes an arctic experience and does not stay limited to aurora. Half an hour into our ride, he found us a lakeside corner, very quiet and peaceful where there was a baby aurora. Through his experience, he suggested us to wait here and let it evolve in a bigger one. We stayed there and enjoyed the natural lightshow begin and end in around an hour and half. Bart is a professional photographer himself. So, he clicked some pictures for us and later sent the link to buy but did not force us. It was cold and he offered us hot chocolates and cookies making it a cozy environment. We also discussed Wandering Owl's initiatives to protect the flora and fauna in the region and responsible tourism. He was kind enough to drop us all at our respective hotels at the end. Overall, it was an experience that we will cherish throughout our lives.
Hello, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the small group setting and that Bart helped make your 4h Express Tour such a memorable Arctic adventure. Finding that peaceful lakeside spot and watching the “baby aurora” grow into a beautiful natural light show sounds like a truly special moment. It’s also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the cozy atmosphere with hot chocolate and cookies, as well as the opportunity to learn more about responsible tourism and our efforts to protect the local flora and fauna. Thank you again for choosing Wandering Owl. We’re so glad the evening became a memory you’ll cherish, and we hope to welcome you back to Tromsø one day for another Arctic adventure.
We went with the guide Bart, from the beginning he was searching in all apps, cameras and hunting WhatsApp groups to be able to find the best place. The day was challenging, bad weather and chances against. But we still saw the lady of the night in the sky. Without a doubt, Bart made a difference in the hunt. I recommend closed eyes, close without fear with them!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that, even on a challenging day with difficult weather, you were able to witness the Northern Lights, that’s exactly the kind of magic Bart strives to create for our guests. His dedication to using every tool and resource to find the best location really does make a difference, and we’re delighted it paid off for you. Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation, it means the world to us! We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Arctic adventure someday.
