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

Beautiful hike and lovely experience

This was a brilliant experience, even better than I expected! Gerard was an excellent guide. He picked us up in front of the hotel, drove us around 30 minutes to the start of the hike (but it was so scenic that the time flew by), and then the hike began. It was a great route, not too strenuous, and beautiful!

Ezra E

A must do in Tromso!

The tour and our guide, Peter, were both fantastic! It was a beautiful ride to the hike, and Peter made some stops to admire the scenery on the way. It’s not a strenuous hike if you are generally fit, and the views are absolutely amazing. A must do in Tromso!

Here comes the sun

Anthony is the best guide. We had an amazing hike, lots of good views, lots of laughter. We will come back to experience more of Tromsø next year. And of course with Anthony as our guide!!!!!
