The zoo was amazing and we got to see so many unique animals. Loved seeing all the different owls and the lynx. The ride to the zoo was very comfortable and stress free.
If you are going to the zoo in a small group, look for a different vendor. We were told after we got back that there is normally a chartered bus. However, it was just our family that day so had a driver. Once arriving at the zoo, the driver told us to be back in 30 minutes to an hour. We finally negotiated 2 hours of time at the zoo (was supposed to have 3) but we were rushed. We met friends there and didn’t feel like we could take our time to watch the animals because we were told to be back at 12:30. On top of being shorted a hour, the zoo had not received our reservation from the vendor and didn’t have us on their list. This took valuable time away from our already shortened time to experience the zoo. When we contacted the vendor, the driver told the vendor we left at 1330 which was not true. Vendor offered to have us repeat the tour the next day but we were leaving that evening and our friends had already left Ranua as well. The zoo was great…however we didn’t have time to explore anything other than the walking tour path due to getting shorted an hour that we paid for. Definitely no chance to grab a bite to eat before leaving either.
We are very sorry to hear, that you had a misunderstanding with one of our drivers. You had booked a group tour, but we provided you a private tour at the price of a group tour. The tour duration, time at the zoo and our contact number were in the voucher and the product description. You decided to discuss the departure time from the zoo with the driver. The driver understood, that you wanted to leave earlier and informed you that he will wait for you in the parking area, so you could return at any time. Unfortunately, you did not contact us during the trip when the misunderstanding occurred. You reached out to us only after the trip. Sadly, our proposed solutions didn't meet your expectations, but we are very thankful for letting us know!
In the winter many of the animals are hiding or hibernating. The animals we did see were pretty cool.
Beautiful place, when we went it was nicely lit sunny weather so could see bear and other animals outside. Lovely surroundings it was very nice time spent here ❤️
Loved seeing all the arctic animals not seen anywhere else. Prompt pick up and transfer. Good morning trip.
Beautiful, very good service, a car came to the house directly to pick up just us. In the zoo in winter perhaps many animals are hibernating but there are many particular species that you can only see there.
Thank you for the amazing trip, the bus was super clean and warm. The driver was on time and the company sent a confirmation one day ahead with all instructions about the pick up. I lost my scarf and they were so kind to bring it back to our hotel the next morning. The kids also loved the tour
Our family really enjoyed our visit, it’s great place to see all the northern animals. We spent 3 hours in the zoo, time was enough time. We were very pleased with the service provided taking us from our accommodation to the zoo and drop us off to the train station. Great service and a nice experience!
Interesting place to see the arctic animals, walking along the path, one can hear the crunching sound of the snow under your feet. Beautiful place covered in snow. We had lunch the native way; our guide starts the fire wood and we had BBQ sausages, bread, pancakes with hot beverages, at the same time to catch some heat.
