Highly recommended

The visit to Ranua Zoo was perfect. We arranged a private tour tailored to our schedule, as we were traveling with a small child, and Normund, our guide, was extremely helpful and kind. The experience was wonderful — highly recommended!

Highly Recomend

Our experience with Nortsav was perfect. We travelled with a group of 10 people, and Normund was not only extremely punctual but also very kind. He explained everything we saw along the way and gave us excellent guidance. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely book with them again for our next groups. Thank you so much!

Excellent.

We were met at the airport and all the way with Normand for 6 days. On time. Good with local Knowledge. Sincere. Not over "talking", yet not mute. We shall use his and company services again on our next trip to Rovaniemi. Thank you.

Amazing family time

It was very great experience after the long road to Rovaniemi. We was picked up from the place where we was staying in a new and comfortable van, with prepared baby seat so we didn’t have to worry about anything. Then Normunds introduced himself, explained how long trip will take. Then our ride started, Normunds answered all our questions about Lapland, slowed down to show us reindeers who was just chilling on the roadside. It was very cool to see them in wildlife. Then we arrived at the Zoo , even with wheather not being the best we was really enjoying. The Zoo is really child friendly. There was free strolley you can take while visiting the zoo. Many animals was very close to fence and was visible. Trails are not too hard and are interesting. At the end of the zoo there is big playpark, fazer shop and nice pizza buffet. Normund explained all that to us when we arrived, let us take our time without to rush and was very professional. It was thrully great experience to feel like a tourist and not need to think about anything thanks to Normund! We really suggest!

Family Ranua Zoo visit

It was nice experience for the whole family. We were lucky with wheather - fresh snow, chily, but very fresh air 😊 We have got friendly, professional services, enjoyed the company throughout our visit to Ranua Zoo. We could feel, that guide was passionate about Arctic. Thanks for great memories and wish the best in the future.

Great day at the wildlife park

The host was excellent. She provided useful tips and was friendly She waited for us at the wildlife park while toured and then told us about the Finland chocolate that was cheaper there verses in Santa’s village. The ride to/from the park was a little over an hour and she was a safe and pleasant driver

It is ok but not wildlife park

Had high expectations after seeing reviews and hearing recommendation It is a nice zoo. But it is a zoo. Animals are kept in cages with very little place to move around. It’s not a wildlife park. No animals are roaming free. The private tour was not worth it You can easily find your own way and enough signing tells you about different spiecies . It is a good zoo. And amazing nature around just expect a zoo not wildlife park

Operator response

Thank You. Our tour details and descriptions are only for Zoo. Where did You read that it's wildlife park, please?

Excellent service

Excellent service and well-organized transfers and visit. We had a lovely and cold day spent in Ranua Zoo with animals. Shame that the children's playground was closed, probably for safety reasons. The playground looked really good though, hopefully, they open it soon.

Perfect family transfers

Andrew was awesome. We utilized him for a private zoo tour and a transfer to Levi. He accommodated our group very well (3young kids). Would highly recommend their services and not attempt to drive on the ice a dodge reindeers.
