Om bedriften
Wandering Owl is a year-round small tour operator providing guided tours in Troms and Geilo area. We have opened a new destination in Senja Island and are looking for a guide to join the team. We are co-operating closely with an accommodation provider and a café-restaurant. Together, we are building this new destination.
Wandering Owl brings the guests to experience the arctic nature and the natural phenomena characterizing the North. Our aim is to diversify our offer with a wide range of experiences that are not necessarily mainstream.
The company also focuses on creating an all-year business, in contrast to a seasonal one, to be able to offer steady and long-term employment for the right candidate.
We are a value based, environmentally friendly company, respectful towards our employees as much as our guests. We work actively to improve our internal organization to create a sustainable and enjoyable working environment, promoting teamwork and minimizing stress for our employees.
