Lapland · WILD ANIMAL SAFARIS
Daylight is the thing you run out of first up here. These 5 wild animal safaris justify the hours, priced and timed so you can decide quickly and get on with it.
Visit Ranua Wildlife Park from Rovaniemi for polar bears, Arctic foxes, wolves, and 50 Arctic species on a snowy forest walk.
“Fantastic place to visit! Beautiful and well kept park. Do all your Fazer chocolate shopping across the road! It’s the cheapest place to buy chocolates!”
Spend seven hours from Rovaniemi meeting Arctic animals, riding husky and reindeer sleighs, and enjoying a Lappish buffet at Ranua.
“Great day out.. even though had a fall in the snow (my fault missed the footing .) they couldn’t help me enough. Both guides are awesome well spoken.”
Watch wild brown bears from a comfortable Finnish forest hide, with a near-certain sighting, photo help, coffee, and mountain views.
“Mehrere Tiere gesehen, es war wirklich faszinierend so nah alles zu erleben.”
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…”
