Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    At ruka it was really fun to go skiing down the slopes. There was plenty of slopes with different difficulty levels. Also Matti (one of the employees) is very nice person

    We had a very impressive visit at the farm, learned a lot about reindeers and their farmers life. After a short ride with a reindeer sleigh we got the reindeer driver’s licence for the next 5 years.

    One of the most beautiful places in Finland. You can pick very long routes or do 1km hike straight to the rapids. Path is very accessible and pleasant and the rapids itself magical. I didnt want to leave, they were so captivating (and loud!). Beautiful place, wish we had more time for longer hike! Will be back!

    Orphan place for wild animals located in Kuusamo. Was nice to see that talks about animals have bad living conditions there, are wrong. If you want to see bear safely, this is a place to visit.

    My daughters loved it here, cost is €10 (no time limit) over 4 years old and since my youngest is under 4 it was well worth it. The place is massive and there was maybe 8 other children at most at any one time so wasn't crowded at all. Allowed my daughters to be able to play on whatever they wanted at any time during the 1.5 hours they spent in there. Completely wore them out and meant we got a good night's sleep, therefore I would recommend it as highly as my eldest daughter!

    We did the morning feeding and it was amazing. You get to pet the reindeer, feed them, and learn about their habitat and personality. A well made product with a clear guest path - a rarity in Finland 😂

    We then took the reindeer sled. Honestly, thought it would go faster and in this product you dont spend time with the reindeer. But a more traditional product, where you can imagine yourself a local in 1800’s using reindeers as your transport.

    What is not really standard in Lapland is horseriding..so exactly what we wanted to do. We booked this location and it was great fun. We were picked up in Ruka and drove to the stables with icelandic horses.
    My wife is experienced driver but I am a nitwit in horsedriving…but it was soooo much fun riding an Icelandic horse in Töllt in the forest Eastern from Kuusamo..
    an absolute must for animal lovers…or horse drivers..special Thanks to Emma and our guide Reeta!!

    This place is a like a dream, in the middle of the forest lies a private magical kingdom with its own reindeer, awesome sauna, and absolutely wonderful hosts! We experienced reindeer feeding, reindeer rides, incredible dinner prepared by the best chefs, and a sauna experience second to none! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a 5++* experience in Ruka!

    This is the third time I've attended ski school, I love it every time! Ella was my very first instructor who was brilliant and gave me so much confidence. This time I attended the ski school on my own and met the most amazing people from my group! Our instructor Sean was the best! He really supported everyone's individual needs and made us feel confident! He was super patient with us and also very funny!! We managed to make it down some reds by the end of the week with the encouragement from Sean! I can't recommend the ski school enough! Thanks for the best week!

    This was the most magical experience!!!
    Went on my own during a weeks snowboarding and can't remember feeling so relaxed and happy for a long, long time!
    The horses come first and I loved this about the place. Trek was amazing like some fantasy fairy tale. At end of trek cooked sausages on fire.
    Really can't recommend enough!!!
    Thank you so much guys for the most memorable day 🥰

    We are just back from a week in Ruka with 2 families with kids 11, 13 and 17.
    We have enjoyed amazing moments organized by Tailored Adventure Rukapalvelu Team (special thanks to Eja for organizing it and all people who took care of our group during snowmobiling, karting, dogs and reindeers activity, snowshoeing, river floating,...).
    An agency and team to recommend in Ruka.
    Fun, amazing sceneries, friendly staff
