Planning Your Nature Tour
Which Tour Should I Choose?
Choose ice fishing if you’re looking for a quieter outdoor experience. Snowshoeing offers a more active way to explore the forest, while Korouoma is suited to travellers who want a longer, more demanding hike.
For a day focused on Arctic and northern animal species, explore the trip to Ranua Wildlife Park.
Do I Need Previous Experience?
No previous experience is needed for the snowshoeing or ice fishing tours. However, you should be comfortable with the activity’s physical demands.
The Korouoma excursion involves a demanding winter hike and requires a good level of fitness and mobility.
Can Children Join?
Participation requirements vary by tour. The snowshoeing tour is for ages 12 and above, and the Korouoma excursion is for ages 10 and above.
For other experiences, check the individual tour details. If you need help choosing, tell us your children’s ages and how comfortable they are spending time outdoors in winter.
Are Winter Clothing and Transfers Included?
Check your chosen tour for the full list of included clothing, equipment and transport. Meeting points and pickup arrangements vary, so review the instructions before your visit.
Will We See Animals in the Wild?
You may notice animal tracks or other signs of wildlife during a nature outing, but sightings of wild animals cannot be guaranteed.
Ranua is a wildlife park where animals live in enclosures. Husky and reindeer experiences take place with animals cared for by their handlers.
