Tromsø full day adventure: Wild Moose Safari

Meet the king of the Arctic forests: the Wild Moose! This is a private full day tour from Tromsø city to the wilderness of the Bardufoss region where you have the chance to observe Europe's largest land animal in it's natural habitat.

Departure with the Arctic Route from Prostneset bus terminal in Tromsø at 09.00 AM. You will arrive back in Tromsø city at 18.30 (6:30PM).
Lunch will be served outdoors if the weather allows it.

The inland climate of the Bardufoss region provide calm and clear weather most of the winter season, which provides optimal conditions for Wild Moose Safari. The area has a very large population of moose, and in the winter season we experience endless encounters with these fascinating giants in the beautiful landscapes of the Målselv Valley.

We pick you up at the Aurora Husky where you arrive by bus, and transfer you to the historic Rundhaug Gjestegård where your guide will give a safety briefing and provide fascinating insights into the local culture, moose behavior, and the tradition of moose hunting. Afterwards we will go out on a wilderness safari together in car or bus to go looking for the King of the Arctic forests. We observe the moose in it's natural habitat and try our best not to disturb the moose. Along the way you will gain knowledge about the moose and the Arctic wilderness. We will take you out on a short hike or showshoe walk (10-15 minutes) to visit our Hunter's hut, located in the forest. If you're lucky you can observe a variety of other wild arctic animals on our way. Please note that we can not guarantee observations of the wild moose as it is considered a natural phenomena - this is part of the excitement of the wild moose safari!

This tour is organized in the period between December 1st and March 31st the following year.

Book your wild moose safari 48 hours before arrival.
