Leave the bustling city of Tallinn behind and have a uniquely Estonian experience: go on a guided bog-shoe hike in one of the countryside's atmospheric wetlands.

On the one-hour drive to the bog, you'll see Estonia's natural face, with its vast forests and largely untouched nature. Almost half of Estonia’s population lives in the capital, and agriculture is not extensive, so most of the country has natural habitats to admire.

Put on the bog shoes and follow your guide around the clear bog pools and vast open landscape. Learn about the exceptional fauna and flora of the region, from carnivorous plants to local orchids. Listen to the bird song or try to identify animal tracks. Let your mind rest in the stillness of nature and breathe in the fresh air. Best of all, get an aerial view of the area by climbing up to the lookout tower.

Once your hike in the bog is finished and your lungs are filled with clean air, enjoy your drive back to Tallinn. You can be dropped off at the Tallinn cruise terminal, stay in the Old Town for a little while, enjoy the cozy atmosphere, or have lunch in one of Tallinn’s excellent restaurants.
