About us

Wild Norway is a tour operator and a collaboration of selected adventure companies run by solid wood Norwegians, all specialists in our own field. That’s why you can find everything from family adventures to hard core polar expeditions in our portfolio. Each location, company, product, and guide is unique and has its own soul and character.

We only work with people we know and trust. Quality, hospitality, and safety is our focus.
And, we all work as hard as we can to make your tour a lifetime experience.

Our location

Wild Norway is based in the city of Levanger in the region called Trøndelag.
Our main airport is Trondheim Airport (TRD) and most of our adventures is found from 30 minutes to 3 hours from there.

But we also operate special tours on hand-picked locations in other parts of Norway and the polar region (Northern Norway, Greenland, North Pole, South Pole).
