Great experience
We received a very informative tour from Gigi yesterday. The highlight was when he spotted a moose and was able to show it to us. Unfortunately, it was a bit far away, but still a great experience with the binoculars. Gigi was able to share a lot of knowledge with us, the sky had wonderfully beautiful colors, and there was a family-like atmosphere since it was just the two of us out with him. Recommended!

Really poor quality of...
Really poor quality of trip. Guide was really nice but it doe snot help the fact that the van was really noisy. And there is not hiking to the moose, it is only 4 hours of driving in a vehicule in a forest were you can't really see landscape nor mooses. I would not recommend this activity as there is nothing to see exept trees.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’d like to clarify that this tour is a moose safari, not a hiking trip. The aim of this tour is to quietly and safely observe moose in their natural habitat, which often involves remaining in or near the vehicle to avoid disturbing the animals. After checking with our guide we can confirm that a moose was spotted during your tour, but it crossed the road quickly before there was an opportunity to stop and observe it closely. Since you were seated in the back, it's possible you missed it before it disappeared into the woods — wild animal sightings can be unpredictable and brief. We’re sorry to hear that the vehicle noise affected your experience. While our safari vans are designed for comfort and off-road capability, we’re always working on improving both the ride and wildlife-viewing conditions for our guests.

Disappointment
Worst experience ever with this tour operator. After several excursions made with this agency, and so I trusted them... this year we decided to do this evening tour to the moose. Well we started with a very noisy bus with tinted windows!!! 🧐🧐🧐😎😎 and that you could not lower!! As soon as we left we immediately understood even in case of elk sighting we could not get quality photos given the conditions... When we alerted a moose... we got off the bus, a participant sitting in front immediately closed the door making a big mess and not caring about the silence required x wildlife observation; The hatch back x let the others down was also very noisy. As usual very good guide, we also had the interpreter, a guy from Rimini .. I do not remember the name .. very good and kind, I contacted the agency through WhatsApp and also I spoke to them with very nice and helpful people, quick to answer any questions. I'm so sorry but we were disappointed, you can't go on a safari with tinted windows and x more dirty, they had big whitish halos... The three stars are all x staff, another 1 was even too
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We absolutely understand how important comfort and visibility are during a wildlife experience. We're very grateful for your kind words about our guide and our customer service team. It's great to know that their professionalism and dedication made a positive impact. We are sorry to hear that your experience with our vehicle did not meet your expectations. We always try to keep our transportation fleet with the best condition to provide the clients with a satisfactory service and comfort. Sometimes, especially in the summer, some forest roads and trails might be dusty and make the windows and vehicles dirtier than usual, that is why we perform daily transportation checks to ensure its safety and condition. We hope to have the chance to restore your confidence in us and provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Amazing Evening
Just the best evening, if you want to be able to get out and experience the countryside, this is for you. The added bonus of a great guide Gigi and we even saw a moose and some wonderful reindeer, even if you don't get a chance of seeing a moose this trip it is still very much worthwhile, absolutely brilliant, photos to follow once my daughter edits the photos, thank you so much

Our guide Gigi was very informative both about the wildlife and the environment…went the extra mile to try and show us all that nature had to offer including a lifetime experience of seeing the midnight sun set over a misty lake saw a few wild reindeer and a family of reindeer with their young ones… a sight to behold

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small-Group Moose Wild Safari from Rovaniemi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Small-Group Moose Wild Safari from Rovaniemi cost?
+
Prices start at $72 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovaniemi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Small-Group Moose Wild Safari from Rovaniemi take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovaniemi is not rushed.
Is Small-Group Moose Wild Safari from Rovaniemi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small-Group Moose Wild Safari from Rovaniemi?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Small-Group Moose Wild Safari from Rovaniemi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small-Group Moose Wild Safari from Rovaniemi?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovaniemi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovaniemi and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small-Group Moose Wild Safari from Rovaniemi start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovaniemi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovaniemi?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovaniemi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ, Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovaniemi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovaniemi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
