My wife and I had a truly outstanding day with our tour guide Robin visiting the Ranua wildlife park.Robin was punctual, an excellent driver and conversationalist, and provided us with interesting insights into Finnish culture and life in Finland.At the park, he took care of our tickets and then showed us through the park, highlighting elusive animals in certain enclosures, and also providing additional interesting commentary. He also managed to work some magic and the polar bear Venus even appeared. We both said afterwards that we had a fantastic trip to the park, and Robin certainly played a bit part in that.The park itself is well maintained and the animals have got spacious enclosures. The food was quite good too- Finnish buffet. Would highly recommend.

So first, the guide, Robin, was cool and informative. He also helped us spot the animals which otherwise we would have easily missed.Unfortunately we didn't see many of the touted 50 spices at the park, including the big names, especially the Polar bear (Venus). We were told she might be depressed and doesn't venture out of her pen so much anymore since her husband/partner had died and her 3 offspring had been taken to other parks,We also didn't see any brown bears, grey wolves, lynxes or moose (the latter because our 4 year old was tired so we opted for an early lunch at the zoo).What we saw was beavers, a mink, wolverines, wild boar, voles and birds (several owls and a raven).The lunch was a buffet, warming Finnish food.Advice: Obviously it's more pricey with a guide but you need one to see the animals. We might have seen only half without Robin. Better without very young children too because there's a fair bit if waking in the cold.

Very good experience for the organization of Nordic Adventures ( guide +++) and for the park itself.If something can be improved, we would say that investing a bit more in the quality of the lunch is an option to be considered...

Nice tour. Tour guide shares some local tips with us. I highly recommend for travelers who don't have car or want to learn different culture.

Had a wonderful experience visiting the Ranua Wildlife Park! Our guide, Alex, was extremely informative with an introduction to Lapland, and gave us a lot of interesting insights to these lovely animals. We were in a group of 4, so we weren't rushed through any of the experience and had plenty of time to have a great lunch and visit the souvenir shops as well. Our only disappointment was that we were unable to see any of the brown bears or the Venus, the polar bear. The brown bears were starting their hibernation period, so I guess that's why we didn't see them. But overall, the experience was fabulous and the wildlife park is a must visit!From the various conversations we had with Alex, we realised Nordic Adventures also had a group trip for Aurora Borealis. When asked if we could be included for a trip they had scheduled for that evening, Alex was kind enough to agree and include us at such a short notice, and we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights that night!I would definitely recommend and choose Nordic Adventures again!
