Discover the mysterious Hara Island on a guided tour of Hara Harbor, where ancient nature and exciting history intertwine.

The journey begins with a ride in a fishing boat, taking you across Hara Bay amidst beautiful views. The island welcomes you with wild trails, a harbor quay, a lighthouse, and ruins of buildings from industrial times. Together with an experienced guide, you will learn how a small island of 10 hectares once housed a couple of hundred people and why it was here that the very famous Tallinn sprats were first packed into tin cans. On the walk, you will be introduced to the island’s rise and fall, the beautiful nature of Lahemaa, and the rich world of birds and insects.

The tour is suitable for the whole family – it’s worth bringing comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and, if necessary, eco-friendly insect repellent. The experience is made special by the view of the mainland from the sea, which is rarely experienced otherwise.

Lahemaa National Park is home to diverse landscapes and provides a good overview of Estonian nature and history. Here, you can find the most beautiful manors in Estonia, legendary and unique coastal villages and a lot of untouched nature worth discovering. On the Lahemaa day trip, we will visit Jägala Waterfall, Viru Bog, Altja or Käsmu fishing village, Sagadi or Palmse Manor and have lunch in a village tavern and enjoy the local atmosphere.

The price includes transportation, with pick-up from the Tallinn Tourist Information Center and drop-off in the city center, as well as professional guide service. Lunch is available for an additional fee.

Come and discover Lahemaa National Park!

You will find the Palmse Nunnery Boulders on the right side of the road behind the walls of Palmse Manor when driving from the direction of Viitna.

This is a group of 14 erratic boulders with a circumferance of more than 10 metres and many smaller boulders that were formed when larger boulders broke apart upon the melting of glacial ice. They have been named after a nunnery that was located on the same site in the 15th century. 

According to legend the Almighty turned all the nuns who went to meet with the Devil into stone.

Lake Porkuni covers 41.5 hectares. It is divided using barrages into four smaller lakes: Lake Suurjärv also known as the ‘upper lake’; Lake Karujärv, also known as the ‘lower lake’; Lake Aiajärv; and Lake Iiri or the ‘Irish lake’. What makes Porkuni famous is the floating islands of Lake Suurjärv,
which has a diving tower and where you can hire boats. It is also home to the Kaie spring. Folk tales talk of a slave girl named Kaie whose beauty caught the eye of the lord of the manor. But his love for the girl was not reciprocated, and it is said that one day while Kaie was gathering hay by the lake he threw her into the water. Unable to swim, she drowned, and the hay in her apron is said to have formed the lake’s floating islands.

The adventure trip “In the Nature of Hakkamasaaja” is for you if you want real skills, not just “I watched it on YouTube.” It’s pleasantly humorous, practical, and a bit adventurous – just the right amount of “real life” without excessive drama.

• Brew delicious herbal tea from forest plants
• If desired, prepare soup over the fire
• Practice how to act if you are lost or need to manage without electricity and water

Purekkari Cape is the northernmost point of mainland Estonia.

The 1.5 km long rocky, boulder-strewn cape is located in Lahemaa National Park. The cape ends with a small island, which is only accessible when the water level is low. The thorny wild rose bushes are particularly eye-catching when in bloom during summer and when they have bright red fruit in autumn. Many migratory birds pass by here, making it a popular birdwatching spot.

Near the cape are former military installations and the Purekkari camping area, which is equipped with a campfire site, shelter, and information boards.

NB! The road to the parking lot is narrow and cannot be accessed by large buses.

Walking with bogshoes creates an unearthly feeling – you are essentially walking on water.

Kõnnu Suursoo was formed as a result of the Ice Age. The landscape surrounding the bog is such that the area is also called the “Estonian Switzerland”. The observation tower offers stunning views of the bogs and their colorful landscape.

The hike includes a guide, snowshoes, leggings, snacks, and drinks. If you want to experience the beauty and charm of the bog away from the boardwalks and learn more about the bog, then come on a bogshoe hike with Wanderlust!

The best way to get around in Estonia’s bogs is bogshoeing. Bogshoes are like snowshoes – except you wear them in bogs when there is no snow. The soft and squidgy surface, amazing landscape, bog pools, fascinating plant life, and the legends of the bogs make bogshoeing an unforgettable experience. Anyone who is capable of an ordinary hike can give it a go!

Lahemaa National Park is known for its bogs and there, the hike will take place in Viru bog which is rich in bog pools. The hike is perfect for those who want the ultimate bogshoeing experience without having to put in a huge amount of time or effort.

The price applies to groups of at least 12 people. For a smaller group, contact us and find out the price!

Discover the magical bogs of Estonia on a guided bogshoe hike – a unique adventure starting in Tallinn.

Bogshoes are lightweight frames attached to boots. They help you walk on soft, wet ground and allow you to explore areas that are otherwise inaccessible on foot. 

During the hike, you will learn about local wildlife, enjoy views from a watchtower, and taste mulgipuder, which is listed on UNESCO’s intangible heritage list. The hike usually takes place at Kõnnu Suursoo, located in the Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve, but the guide chooses the best location based on the season. The selected bog is 1-1.5 hours’ drive from Tallinn.

The tour includes round-trip transportation from Tallinn and all necessary equipment. We will hike 4–5 km, and the entire tour lasts 5–6 hours (including transportation). The hike is intended for a group of up to 3 people. By prior agreement, private groups of up to 4 people can also join the hike. Larger groups can also participate if transportation is not needed.

Snowshoes take you to places in the bog where the boardwalk can’t!

Viru Bog is located 50 kilometers from Tallinn. There is a beautiful pine forest, blue bog lakes, and a lookout tower. We will explore the bog and feel the spongy ground underfoot. We can pick berries if they’re in season. The guide will talk about bog plants, animals, and local lore and explain why bogs are important ecosystems.

The hike includes a guide, snowshoes, waterproof leggings, snacks, and a drink. Come on a snowshoe hike with Wanderlust to experience the charm of the bog away from the boardwalk and learn more about this fascinating landscape!

Visiting a bog is fun in every season – bogs are incredibly diverse and colourful (except for in winter if there is a lot of snow). In order to understand bogs better, visit them with a guide.

The hike is 3 or 6 km long and can be completed on a boardwalk. During the hike, we will admire the landscape from an observation tower, visit a peat milling field, take a look at and touch various plants (depending on the season), as well as talk about the related lore and the significance of bogs for the biota.

You can order transport or catering for an additional fee.
The price depends on the size of the group, the length of the hike, and additional services. Ask for an offer!

Rummu Bog snowshoe hike for nature enthusiasts with a nature guide, some jokes, and many “aha!” moments.

During the hike, we will explore the stages of bog development, learn about bog ecosystems and species interactions, and discuss why the bog is our “silent superhero” — it retains water, maintains biodiversity, and keeps our minds clear. We will move on snowshoes in the bog for about 1.5 km, and the total length of the hike is 4-5 km – a perfect length for families, friends, and work colleagues (team spirit comes surprisingly easily in the bog!).

Wear layers and bring warm gloves and curiosity. Depending on the weather and season, the bog may offer expansive views, a carpet of moss, fresh tracks, or simply luxurious silence.

We follow the Good Practices of Snowshoe Tourism: snowshoe hikes in protected bogs are not permitted from April 23 to June 24. The hike takes place by reservation; the meeting place will be specified upon booking.

The hike is family-friendly and pet-friendly. Book a time, grab a friend, and come to the bog – you’ll leave with a good mood.
