Karianne is a very experienced guide. She knows a lot about moose and has a very sharp eye. We saw 16 moose. It was a super great experience.

Participating in the Wild Moose Safari tour made my Tromsø trip even better thanks to our guide, Karianne. Not only did I get to see the wild moose I'd always wanted to see, but the time we spent together and our conversations were incredibly enjoyable. I was particularly impressed by her respectful approach to nature and the animals; we observed the moose from a safe distance inside the car without frightening them. They were very long-legged and gentle animals. Despite booking the tour the day before, she was incredibly flexible and helpful. I hope to see the moose in the summer someday. Thank you so much! Tusen takk!

Super knowledgeable about the region's fauna and flora, way beyond just moose. Super friendly and patient, even after tons of questions. Lunch was really yummy. We had a blast.

Exciting moose safari – we saw five moose in the forest, and it was indescribable. It was very enjoyable despite the bad weather (rain and snow). We therefore traveled mostly by car, but also went on a short snowshoe hike. The typical Norwegian lunch was excellent!

We went on a moose safari with Karianne and thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. During the briefing, we learned a lot about moose – and then actually saw several on the drive. Beautiful animals! The snowshoe hike and lunch in the hunting lodge were also very enjoyable. All in all, a wonderful and very informative day!
