“This tour through Riisitunturi National Park was an unforgettable experience! The scenery was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking snow-covered landscapes at every turn. Our guide was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the area. He shared insightful information about the park’s history and nature, making the journey even more enriching. One of the highlights was learning how to light a fire the traditional way, which added such a unique touch to the experience. He was also incredibly patient, allowing us plenty of time to stop for photos without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a well-guided, immersive nature tour, this one is a must!”

Review of Ranua Zoo from Rovaniemi, with hotel pickup, Arctic animals, a 2.5 km forest walk, shopping time, and practical winter tips.
“It’s a very nice zoo featuring cold weather animals.. we were unable to see all the animals due to the season. Eero … our guide.. more than made up for that. A Lapland native, he is a wealth of information about the land, the people, and the environment.”
Review of Rovaniemi’s 5-hour Ranua Zoo trip, with Arctic animals, polar bears, lunch, hotel pickup, pricing, guides, and useful booking advice.
“Really poorly advertised. I booked this as an ‘extra treat’ for my other half’s 50th birthday trip. Highly disappointed with whole excursion & quite frankly ripped off with the price. Not what I was expecting at all, we didn’t even see a polar bear. Unaware it would be a ‘zoo’, most other animals were also not to be seen. Lunch was also a shambles, very limited offering & the food was not enjoyable - myself and my other half both went hungry. For context, we are easygoing people & we booked another excursion through aviator which exceeded expectations on every single level. The value for what I paid was nowhere…”
Ride a shared snowmobile across frozen Lake Inari, feed reindeer, and enjoy a fire-cooked Lapland lunch from Ivalo.
