A great frustration with VIATOR
I can say very few words aboutcthe experienco because the activity was cancelled the they before because there were no enough people interested in it. I understand that everything is business but, maybe, you should think that you can compensate the time you have more customers than mininum with those when you have less customers. It would be necessary to ensure customers' satisfaction. If you don't do so, all the system of tours reservations may disappear.
Response from the operator: Hello Alberto, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your disappointment caused by the cancelled tour and appreciate the opportunity to provide some context. We reached out several times via email and WhatsApp in the days leading up to your scheduled tour, to explore the possibility of rescheduling or offering an alternative. As we didn’t hear back from you, we were unfortunately not able to proceed with any changes. As a small-group experience, the tour requires a minimum of three participants to operate. This is clearly stated on all our booking platforms and helps us ensure the experience remains both environmentally and economically sustainable. That said, we always aim to accommodate our guests as best we can, which is why we reach out proactively when numbers are low. We also ask guests to keep an eye on their email and phone before the tour in case any important updates arise. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you on another tour in the future.

The perfect end to an incredible trip!
This tour ended up being the highlight of our incredible time in Tromsø. Ellie and Jenna were just fabulous in making sure all the guests were comfortable. I booked this tour as soon as I had planned my holiday and knew the one I didn't want to miss was a chance to enjoy an incredible sunset, and I'm so glad I booked with the Wandering Owl. They made the whole trip wonderfully memorable, from the views to the food to the conversation and the drive - everything was impeccable, with Ellie and Jenna as the perfect hosts. Thank you for everything, including the excellent photos you guys took!
Response from the operator: Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your tour with Wandering Owl was everything that you hoped for. Ellie and Jenna will be over the moon to know they made your experience so special—they truly love what they do, and it’s always rewarding to hear that their passion and care have shone through. Your kind words motivate us to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we're so glad you cherished the photos as much as we enjoyed taking them. Thank you again for choosing Wandering Owl and we hope to see you again! Warm regards, Wandering Owl

5 Stars!
Ellie was a FABULOUS tour guide! We loved being able to follow some reindeer, watching a group of dolphins frolic in the bay, and enjoy some great food and conversation. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for such a nice review! We are more than happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. Ellie is an amazing guide and it is great to see her efforts being appreciated. Even though seeing wild animals is never guaranteed during our activities, it always makes the tour even more memorable and we are glad you were able to experience that. Thank you again for your kind words and we hope to see you again! Warm regards Wandering Owl

Grotdjord!
Ellie was a fantastic host. We had a great time enjoying the peaceful evening, cooking, views and wandering reindeer.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for your review! We are glad to hear that you were pleased with the tour.

Amazing and totally unexpected.
Our tour guide found an excellent spot for us to camp out. Since it is a small group, we got to know other people in our group well. I recommend this tour 100%.

Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl cost?
+
Prices start at $154 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tromso usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tromso is not rushed.
Is Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tromso can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tromso and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tromso within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tromso?
+
On Outty we rank every Tromso experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chasing Lights: Aurora Big Bus Chase (All Photos Included), Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive, Tromso Northern Lights Minibus Chase Small Group Tour with Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tromso?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tromso?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl?
+
Included: Hotel drop-off; Vegetarian option available; All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Souvenir photos (by email after the tour). Not included: Hotel pickup. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Departure Point: in front of Scandic Ishavshotel Address: Fredrik Langes gate 2, 9008 Tromsø Your guide will pick you up in front of the main entrance. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Tromsø: Midnight Sun with Campfire with Wandering Owl offered in?
+
