Experience: The Arctic Wilderness.

Wander quiet trails as the sun hovers above the horizon. This is the Arctic at its calmest — no crowds, no rush, just open landscapes and the soft glow of the midnight sun. It’s a peaceful evening walk through untouched nature, where you can slow down and take it all in.

Challenge yourself: Embrace the Arctic summer weather.

Evening sun doesn’t mean still skies. Arctic summers can bring sudden winds, cool air, or a passing shower — all part of the adventure. Hiking here means staying flexible and open to nature’s moods. It’s a gentle challenge that makes the journey even more rewarding.

Important information

After booking with us you’ll receive a confirmation email. Please read through the email carefully and ensure all details are correct. If you don’t receive a confirmation email from us, please get in contact with our friendly team.

Our terms and conditions and our generous 24hr cancellation policy can be found here.

All participants need to complete the eWaiver before the tour/activity start time. Here is the link to our waiver. It’s one eWaiver per booking, no matter how many Wandering Owl activities you join. If you have been on tour with us in the last 12 months, you do not need to complete another waiver.

It’s a great idea to dress in layers, so as you warm up or cool down, you can add and remove layers. We suggest: woollen base layer, woollen sweater, down mid layer and a shell or windproof jacket as the final layer. Jeans, especially skinny jeans, aren’t windproof, nor do they have any thermal qualities. High heels and fashion shoes are unsuitable.

We suggest downloading WhatsApp before travelling to Norway. We prefer to use WhatsApp or email when communicating with our guests. Remember to keep your phone handy on the day of the tour in case we need to make last-minute changes or communicate with you.

We offer a generous cancellation policy: guests can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the tour. After that, bookings become non-refundable.
We never cancel simply because the forecast says it might be cloudy. We will make the decision on the route or other changes based on safety considerations.

Wandering Owl is eco-certified by Travelife. This means we meet international sustainability standards and take real action to protect the Arctic environment. From small group sizes to reducing waste and supporting local communities, we believe every choice matters. Responsible travel is at the heart of what we do.

Stories From Our Happy Explorers

Amazing midnight hike

Absolutely loved this trip! In fact went again the second night due to my original plan being cancelled . Went to two different areas and both fantastic midnight sun views at the top. Both times the guide Evgeni was very friendly, chatty, super informative and took some amazing photos . Would thoroughly recommend using Wandering Owl. I also had planned the daytime hike which changed to the Express Fjord Trip ( another highly recommended trip to do )

A special experience

Despite being very jet-lagged, we three enjoyed this tour so much. The experience of climbing a mountain was challenging, but Michael our guide was such a super nice person with his knowledge , sandwich-making ability and clear love and respect for the landscape. Plus he takes excellent photos! After such a physical tour, he then drove us safely back to Tromsø. I liked how this tour was very personal and felt private even though we were in a group. Thank-you Michael and we hope to see you again in the future.

A must!!!

I huffed and puffed all the way to the summit but OMG it was so worth all the huffing and puffing lol . The view was stunning. We lucked out the day we went on the hike. The weather cooperated and the midnight sun put on a show. The group we hiked with was so friendly and we had an incredible guide, Evgeni. He was friendly, kind and paced himself with me when he saw I was slowing down. You can say he talked me all the way to the summit. Thank you, Evgeni. I will never forget your kindness.
