Wondeful hike with perfect guides - I cannot but recommend this activity to anybody who loves wildlife! Ivar and Ingrid led the 8 of us in a wonderful hike in the lonely hills, lakes and waterfalls around Bodø (and more). They were informative, helpful and very pleasant company. We were even able to see moose in the morning (not usual). Thank you for the experience!

Great tour - we saw 17 moose - Great tour - we saw 17 moose from quite close. Our guide Ingrid was great - drived us to the moose area, stopped at Saltstraumen tide whirpool on a way there and again on a way back, to see how different it is when slow/strong current.

Not to be missed in Bodø - Can highly recommend this trip and we have seen 31 moose. Our guide Sindre contributed to the success of this safari. We were 5 participants (Switzerland, Germany and Australia) and I would book this again anytime!

Nice surprise. - The trip was interesting. Moose is indeed a very elusive animal and it takes time to encounter one. There was a nice surprise in our trip - we saw two reindeer chasing each other. Super cool!

Cancelled at last minute - Did not happen, cancelled by the organizer less than 24 hours before the activity. No message, just shameful. Although the experience seems very nice I do not recommend
