Highlights
  • Rovakatu 24 - Your professional guide will take you to the Ranua Wildlife Park. The one-hour drive to Ranua will give you a chance to enjoy the scenery of Lapland and try to spot some local wildlife along the way - it is not unusual to see reindeer along the road, and also the gigantic moose and some other animals.

At the park, you can follow the wooden boardwalks through the forest where you get to see all the Arctic animals in one place. This is a rare opportunity as it is hard to see these animals in nature as the wild areas are so big here in the Finnish Lapland. Your guide has special knowledge of all the animals in the park and will share it with you.

The animals you can spot include: polar bears, brown bears (not in winter though, as they are hibernating), predatory birds, owls, wild boars, musk oxen, otters, Arctic foxes, reindeer and wild reindeer, wolverines, moose, etc.

Once you have finished your nice 2,5 kilometres walk around the park, we will relax and enjoy a buffet lunch at the restaurant before driving back to Rovaniemi.

Zoo - We did the tour even it was just the two of us. Our guide and Emily was very good in spoting the animals and tells us a lot about them. Afterwards she showed us videos of the animals we didn’t seen. Because we were just a little group our guide took a lot of time to show us the zoo.

Guides know where to find the animals - We knew we were visiting in low season but it was a treat to basically get a private tour of the park! Our guide was knowledgeable and knew where to spot the animals. Lunch was great. Transportation was comfortable. It was an all around good experience.

Zoo in Narnia setting - Seeing Arctic animals and birds in outdoor enclosures, covered in snow, was amazing. It was as close as seeing them in their natural environment as you could get. I felt like I was walking around a zoo in Narnia. The park is a reasonable size and took about 90 minutes to walk slowly around. Our Spanish guide, his name is William translated to English, escorted us around the park pointing out the animals and giving information as we went. He was very good and interesting to talk to. As you walk fairly slowly around I found that by the end of the tour I was getting quite cold so make sure you have sufficient warm clothes or take the offer of the tour company overalls and boots.

Full arctic animals' experience! - I've visited Rovaniemi with my family (+5 year child) and it was very important for us to take tours that will be interesting for our child. Wild about Lapland proposed the trip to Ranua Wildlife Park and we also had a Hunting Northern Lights by Reindeers tour booked for the evening. That was a blast!! Our child enjoyed both tours very much, as did we. In Ranua park, the preservation center, you can see a lot of different article animals - polar bear, polar fox, wolves, wolverines, owls, and many more. Some of the animals were rescued and now live in the park. This is not a zoo, it is a big territory where you can observe all the animals, very interesting. This tour also included lunch, so it was a nice addition. Later in the evening, we attended another tour with Wild About Lapland - the Northern Light Reindeer hunt, That was amazing! We went to a farm with reindeer and they told us a lot about the life of the animals on the farm and how they are breed. Riding on the reindeer on the frozen lake and hearing only to the sound of the forest and steps of the animals - super cute. If you are lucky - you will see the glimpse of the northen lights as well!
