What To Expect

Ranua Zoo

This is our ultimate Lappish adventure where we'll try to show you the best of Lapland in just one day. Our day starts with hotel pick-up and a one-hour drive to Ranua Wildlife Park. In the summer you can expect to see animals playing in their natural habitat, and during the winter find them playing in the snow! There are over 50 animal species in this Zoo. See polar bears, gray wolves, geese, owls, foxes, lynxes, minks, and brown bears, and learn more about their lives in the Arctic circle. A walk through the Wildlife park will take several hours (the trail is approx. 3km long).

4 hours • Admission Included

Rovaniemi

It’s time to prepare for the last part of this adventure - arctic floating in an Arctic lake under the Lappish sky. Once we give you some tips, go through safety instructions, and dress you up in our suits, you can take a dip in the icy lake and enjoy the sky above you. Swimming takes place in an icy hole, and we guarantee that you won't be cold! In fact, you will feel amazing. The suits will keep you warm so you can relax and enjoy the northern skies above you.

This was my favorite day during our 6 day trip. Super personable, just my friend and I and one other couple. Quaint house (in the middle of nowhere!) and a rustic but lovely sauna. I’ve never laughed harder than while doing the ice floating/swimming. Great experience!!

The service was excellent, with a punctual pick-up at my accommodation, a friendly guide, and stunning scenery in a wildlife park covered in beautiful snow. Floating on the cold lake, experiencing the sauna, and taking a dip added to the fantastic overall experience. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable.
Recommended for the Lappish experience !

Most amazing day in Lapland!!!! We have traveled to Lapland 3x and this has been our favorite experience yet. Excellent booking communication, professional knowledgeable guides, and AMAZING floating experience along with sauna and ice lake dip. As if that wasn’t enough, we were then served the most amazing smoked salmon dinner and all felt it was the best meal of our entire trip. This was one of 3 excursions booked with Nordic Adventures we were so happy with each adventure. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ALL YOUR EXCURSIONS!!!

Absolutely outstanding. The host Pedro was excellent. We spent the morning at the zoo which Pedro helped us identify the animals hidden in the snow. He explained a lot about Finnish animals and culture. We had a lovely buffet lunch which was fulk of selection and you can go back multiple times. We then went on to have a lovely unique experience floating in the ice lake. We were fortunate due to it being January there were only the two of us so it felt a very private experience. We had a couple of hours then in a Finnish sauna which was lovely just to chill. They provided refreshments we could use whilst in and out of the sauna. Neither of us like salmon which was the evening meal plan, however we contacted them in advance and were provided with chicken instead. It was so tasty. A definite recommendation for anyone wanting a dull day out with plenty variety. The hosts were excellent
Awesome full day!

We were 2 families with 4 children aged between 6 and 10 years old. Both adults and kids had the most amazing time! It was an awesome day starting with the zoo, lunch, ice floating (adults only), sauna to icy lake and dinner. Pedro our guide was great...very nice and very informative. Highly recommended 👌
Amazing Experience!!

Fun day trip! We had a small group - only 5 people. The minivan was comfortable (1 hour drive). The zoo/wildlife park was an interesting stop - you can see Arctic animals in their own environment. Our guide (Pedro) was with us at the Zoo, telling us about the animals. Lunch was lovely (buffet at the Zoo). After that,we had an easy 30 min ride (back toward Rovaniemi) to the lake where we were scheduled to float, go to the sauna, and have dinner. Floating was amazing! We were swimming for about 40 min, playing like polar bears with slabs of ice and crawled on the ice. The sauna was fun- nice and clean, but it is an authentic experience (no shower and the toilet is an outhouse). We were dipping in the lake, so we did not miss a shower much. Dinner was excellent (salmon, vegetables, cookies). No alcohol (you can bring some with you if you wish to have it after the sauna). Overall - a great memorable experience.
Fantastic experience

Thank you Alex and Tania for an amazing day. Our experience was everything and more. Your hospitality made us feel welcome, and sharing some of your experiences just made it more than we could off hoped for. For anyone looking to experience Lapland, this is the best value foroney you could get. From floating on a lake in a dry suit, a true firewood sauna and jumping into ice water, to a true Finnish meal. Bottom line a true 5 star experience and worth every penny. Thank you Alex and Tania.
