I never received a link for this workshop. I double checked my email and spam. No communication whatsoever. I waited several weeks. What a total waste of money. Do not purchase this.
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We have looked through our system and do not seeing a booking for the Online Photo Course that has not been sent the link to access the course. Could you please reach out to us directly so we can investigate this further with you? Thank you.
Never received instructions on how to access so could not enjoy the class. Leaving for Northern Lights trip Tuesday so extremely disappointed.
Hi there and thank you for the feedback, We apologise for any confusion, the information has been sent already via the TripAdvisor portal. Feel welcome to contact us directly if you continue to experience difficulty locating the information. Have a wonderful Aurora Hunt on Tuesday night!
We had a great evening from start to finish with Bart the guide and photographer and Micheal the driver. Definitely lucky to get the Northern Lights throughout the evening, our hosts were quick, available, responsive to make us discover these lights and endure the cold with warm clothes and to drink and eat. Coming to help us make our own pictures, he also offered his own which are at the top. Excellent excursion, which was worth putting the price on.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback! We love receiving feedback from our guests, it motivates our team during these cold winter months to give our guests the best possible experience with us. Of course, as you know we can not promise anything to do with the weather (like Aurora activity or snow or sunshine) but we can promise a positive experience; home-made meals, hot chocolate and biscuits - all made freshly (and with love) in our Owls Nest. It has been a pleasure to have you on tour with us and we hope to welcome you back to Tromso again one day. Thank you again for taking the time :)
The Wandering Owl Northern Lights Photography Workshop is essential if you want to take beautiful photos of the aurora. It was expertly led by premier guide and photographer Delphin, who explained every detail to our small group about how to capture the northern lights with our cameras and lenses. This is a must-do workshop before going out to photograph the northern lights.
We are happy you valued our Indoor Photo Workshop, it was a pleasure having such an enthusiastic group of passionate photographers! And it's always ideal to follow up with an Aurora Hunt, so that the theory can be put into practice right away, good job to you all, and thank you again for joining!
We recently returned from an enjoyable trip to Norway, including Tromso, specifically to see the Northern Lights. We took one day trip (Arctic Landscapes) and one night trip (Northern Lights) with Wandering Owl and for both the guide and driver were knowledgeable, patient, and professional. Based on our excellent experience, we strongly recommend using Wandering Owl for any tours you are considering in Tromso. We also took an evening tour with a different company and they were much less organized and professional.

I signed on for a Wandering Owl Aurora Chase and, having little night photography experience, decided the WO Night Photo Workshop would help. Absolutely it did! Instructor Delphin presented the essentials along with composition and editing tips through commentary, help with our equipment, and illustrative slides. I remain surprised how much I assimilated in a one-hour session. As a result, I got some decent photos on my first night out. I also met some nice people in the workshop - always a plus. The workshop was well worth the time and price.
Thank you Carolyn for your feedback about our Night Photo Workshop. It was a pleasure having you in the course, and it's very nice to know you found it useful. Thank you for participating, and warm regards from the Owls!
We were with David, a very attentive and close guide. The tour was very well organized with a small group of tourists. It was all very familiar. They gave us hot chocolate, tea and reindeer soup, and some delicious homemade cookies. We made a little campfire while contemplating the auroras. We were in a natural place with an unforgettable starry sky. David made us a great photo report, with lots of photos, individual and group, at no extra cost. With people as willing as David, these kinds of activities are forever engraved in memory. Fully recommended, also for the tarto received in the office. We were attended by a very nice Italian girl. 100% recommended.

We had our first Northern Lights “hunting” experience with this facility. We took the minibus , so a small number of people, and after about an hour and a half from tromso we camped. The place was very nice a small flat expanse in the middle of nowhere with the sea within walking distance! Unfortunately, the aurora did not last long and was not brightly coloured. We tried to find it by removing ourselves with the bus but unfortunately it went wrong! I want to reward the boys because we finally got home at 2am and eating in the middle of the street. In general Good excursion but having done others, with other operators, maybe it is improveable or at least others have higher standards.

Our guide Mixu was knowledgeable and fun. He helped us take pictures with our cameras and he also took amazing pictures of us with his camera. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful night under the northern lights. Part of that was due to Mixu finding a great, remote spot that wasn't crowded with other tourists. Everything was well prepared. I couldn't have asked for a better night or a better tour to go with than Wandering Owl!
