The Arctic might seem an inhospitable landscape but it’s home to a wealth of creatures, from moose, polar bears, and reindeer through to wolves, owls, and arctic fox. See them in action at Ranua Wildlife Park, without the stress of self-driving Arctic roads, on this small-group guided tour. After watching the animals eat, build a forest campfire then feast on salmon sandwiches, wild boar sausages, and blueberry juice.

Nestled in woodlands south of Rovaniemi, this beautiful park houses 50 types of animals in environments as close to their natural habitats as possible.

Combine a Northern Lights search with a snowmobile ride—and enjoy two activities in one all-inclusive, time-saving trip—with this tour from Rovaniemi. Book ahead to ensure your place, and race across the snowy expanses on a 2-person snowmobile to a camp. With luck, see the lights here over sausages and drinks around the campfire. The tour includes hotel transfers, with an upgrade option to ride a snowmobile solo. Please be advised the price of your ticket is per person - twin driving. You will ride the snowmobile in pairs (twin riding), a driver and a passenger on each snowmobile, with the opportunity to switch during the ride. Before the tour you can buy a solo driving option.
