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 1-hour drive to the bog, you'll see the real face of Estonia, with its vast forest and largely untouched nature. As almost half of Estonia’s population lives in the capital and agriculture is not extensive, most of the country is covered with natural habitats to admire.

Put on your 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 the nature and breath in the fresh air. Best of all, get an aerial view of the area by climbing up to the Konnu Suursoo lookout.

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