We went on a snowshoeing trip with the fabulous guide Gordon! We had a wonderful time, Gordon even agreed to stop at the local produce store on the way back to buy some specialties. The hike is not particularly difficult, and it is really worth it to enjoy the view of the fjords. Special dedication to the hot chocolate: we tried many during our stay, and the one from Wandering Owl is definitely the best by far. I strongly recommend this activity !

This is an amazing tour to book and we can highly recommend it. The god sledging was great, followed by a delicious lunch and drinks, and then guided visit to the ice domes. There is time in between also to interact with the dogs after the sledging. Overall amazing.

The domes were well carved with beautiful sculptures. The guide was friendly and well informed. The included meal and beverages were delicious. The scenery along the way to and from the Domes was stunning!

Amazing experience, worth every single penny. Wrap up and layer so you’re not cold and you will have the BEST time!

Vale cada centavo!

Beautiful experience! Great hospitality! Recommended.
