Active Tours Estonia - Trip to Estonia: Nature & Wildlife Watching

Discover Estonia’s wild side in one compact, unforgettable journey.

Begin in seaside Tallinn with a guided bird walk, a seal-watching boat tour, and an overnight escape to serene Aegna Island—complete with sauna and seaside dinner.

Wander through Lahemaa’s waterfalls, Kõrvemaa’s bogs, and enjoy forest-to-table dining with sled dogs in Estonia’s “Small Lapland.” Spend a night in a NatourEst’s remote hide in bear-rich Alutaguse National Park, where bears, moose, and eagles may pass just outside your window.
End your trip with a flying squirrel foresthike and a bogshoe hike that follows in the footsteps of bears before returning to Tallinn via Lahemaa’s stunning coastal landscapes.
