Do you want to see arctic animals in their natural habitat in the picturesque forests of Lapland? Join us for a guided tour of Ranua Zoo – the northernmost zoo in the world.
We will take you to see 50 different animal species, including the only polar bears in Finland. We organize the entire trip – from transportation to tickets, the only thing you need to do is have fun.
We start the tour with hotel pick up. Depending on the group size, you can expect a minivan or a small bus. We specialize in small private tours, but if you’re coming with a big group, we are more than happy to accommodate you all.
Ranua Wildlife Park is located in one-hour drive from the town of Rovaniemi in an Arctic forest. In the summer you can see the nature bustling with life. You can see polar bears, gray wolves, geese, owls, foxes, lynxes, minks and brown bears playing in the forest. On this unique tour, you can see them bathe, eat and groom. After a guided zoo tour where you’ll learn about animals and life in Lapland, we will sit down for a tasty buffet lunch. Depending on the schedule and how much time we have left, we will visit official Fazer sweets shop and souvenir shops.

Our tours often cross the border into Sweden or Norway, so it is advisable to bring a form of identification with you.
The best time to see the northern lights in Lapland is typically September, October, February, March, and early April. During these months, weather conditions are often favorable, and aurora activity tends to increase around the equinoxes. Clear skies and high geomagnetic activity during these times offer the best chance to witness the spectacular northern lights.
Both are the same tour, but with different ticket types. The Guaranteed ticket offers a money-back guarantee if we do not find the auroras (no photo proof, no payment).
Generally, we do not provide food or drinks on our tours. We recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks, as No Limits Tours can sometimes extend for long periods. Bringing warm beverages, such as hot cocoa, can be pleasant and help you stay warm. Our focus is 110% on finding the northern lights, so no food or drink is provided on the tour.
Weather conditions can affect the tour’s feasibility. If the weather is so bad that the tour is unsafe or impractical, we will offer alternative dates or possibly a full refund if the alternative dates do not work for you.
We offer a unique combination of expert guidance, a high success rate, and flexible tours. Additionally, our “Guaranteed” ticket type ensures you get your money back if you do not see the auroras. This sets us apart from other providers and gives you peace of mind.
We recommend booking the tour for your first day of arrival to maximize your chances of seeing the northern lights. If weather conditions are unfavorable and we assess that the tour is not feasible, we can reschedule or offer alternative dates. This way, you ensure the best possible chance to experience the auroras.
