Owl Story
Wandering Owl is an Arctic based tourism company with a limited impact travel approach to our all-inclusive small group Arctic activities, which are on offer in all seasons.
Tromsø is the only city in the world to be in the heart of the Aurora Oval, along the gulf stream, have a network of surrounding microclimates & be in the Aurora sweet spot, for these reasons, no other city compares to Tromsø if your goal is to see the Northern Lights.
Tromsø is located in the heart of the Aurora Oval. The Aurora Oval is an oval-shaped belt that runs around the earth at both the top and the bottom. The belt is the area that can see activity depending on the KP. As Tromsø remains in the heart of the belt, it is possible to see the Northern Lights even at a KP 1 or less.

Owl Vision
