Ranua

The site and trails are well equipped. The diversity of flora and fauna is well appreciated. It’s a walk in the forest that’s worth a visit! Our guide, Jade, was very kind and professional.

An enjoyable excursion, however is not a polar bear adventure

A great day out, however it is a visit to Ranua Zoo and not a “polar bear adventure “. The zoo do have 1 polar bear which we were fortunate to see, however due to the weather, many of the other animals were not able to be seen. Our tour guide, Jade was lovely and the transport to and from the zoo was comfortable.

Thank you for your comment and wish you all the best❤️❤️❤️

This is a zoo, don’t be fooled

Nice outdoor zoo, small and a nice walk through the woods during the tour is a bonus. Dress warm, it’s cold and all outdoors.

Operator response

Thank you for your lovely comment to our Arctic Animals and glad that you loved the arctic nature. It is located in the wildness and needed for a outdoor walk😊. All the best to you!

Visit to the northernmost zoo in the world

We were a small group, the guide answered all questions. In the zoo itself we were able to take enough time to look at the animals. The food together was also quite nice. It was a great trip.

Really poorly advertised....

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 near worth the experience, transport or food.

Operator response

Sometimes its a bit sad that Polar bear seems prefer hiding inside the cave for either sleeping or simply enjoying herself there. But most cases Polar bear is outside for hanging out😊. Unfortunatrly you did not see it this time and did not enjoy the local food either. Still wish you all the best & thanks for visiting our great RANUA Wildlife Park😊

Day at the Zoo

Giuseppe Lupis was an amazing tour guide! We were able to explore the zoo without any stress. He was very informative and extremely kind. We even paused to get a few pics of the beautiful sky on the way back from the zoo. He went above and beyond anyone that gets him as a tour guide would be very lucky
