What To Expect

As it is the only visit of the day, you will also get the chance to feed the reindeers directly from your hand with some of their favorite food. This is a great chance to approach the animals too, as reindeer are still very wild. After this great time at the farm, your guide will continue your journey to Ranua to see other iconic animals of the Far North. A stop will be made to enjoy a tasty buffet lunch in the restaurant before heading to Ranua Wildlife Park. Located one hour away from Rovaniemi, the Ranua Wildlife Park is the northernmost wildlife park in the world. It consists of approximately 50 wild animal species and 200 individuals. In the park, it is possible to see polar bears, brown bears, wolves, wolverines, lynxes, predatory birds, otters, wild boars, swans, and so many others. Accompanied by your guide, you will wander along the 2.5km gentle path through the peaceful forests that takes you from one animal habitat to another. Your guide will provide you with information about each animal and help you take some pictures if you would like to.

Having prepared our trip for a long time, we know that Nordic Odyssey are the cheapest for the Rovaniemi region. Unfortunately we did not understand each other by email even though we wanted to book for 6 no less than 7 activities :-( We just kept visiting reindeer farms. The advantage is to have had a French guide even if she did not translate everything but this was due to the Finnish guide who gave too many instructions at the minute. Seeing the reindeer in their natural environment through a forest is much more pleasant for them and for us than those exploited in Santa Claus' village. You go around the circle in just 2 minutes but that wasn't our goal. After the guide explains the life of reindeer, this is what lasted the longest! However, I recommend it because during the journey you can admire superb landscapes and our young guide Emma was kind.
