An introduction to Lahemaa National Park, the land of bays and forests
It only takes an hour to drive from Tallinn to Lahemaa. The tour takes you to the oldest national park in Estonia, the most popular destination for day trippers staying in Tallinn. Lahemaa means “the land of bays” and as the name says it’s valued because of the natural beauty of its coastal landscape. The park itself covers a huge area of protected primeval forest, small rivers and a number of hiking trails. Whilst it definitely isn’t a zoo, it is famous for its rich wildlife. On our way to Lahemaa we also drop by Jägala waterfall.
Learn about Estonian life in rural areas.
Our first stop will give you a glimpse into the life of German landowners who resided in the Estonian countryside for centuries. You’ll also learn about life in rural Estonia, both historically and in modern times. Depending of the season you will visit Sagadi or Palmse Manor. Both manors also offer unique exhibitions, including museums that reflect the surrounding nature and history (for extra charge, not included in the regular tour).
Our coastal stop lets you experience the charm of an old Estonian fishing village. Depending on the season you will visit Altja or Käsmu village. In both of them you’ll encounter the traditional architecture and way of life that these villages represent. A walk to the seaside offers beautiful views, varying with each season—from sandy beaches perfect for summer swims to dramatic stormy seas in autumn and the opportunity to walk on frozen waters in winter. Both Altja Tavern and local Käsmu cafés provide a taste of traditional Estonian cuisine during the warmer months.
Head to a tavern for some tasty Estonian farm food (not included in the price, card payment is available).
Go for a walk in the bog. On our way back to Tallinn, we take a walk in Viru bog. A bog is a wetland landscape with a thick peat layer. There are limited types of vegetation adapted to this environment, bog pools and hollows. Besides the refreshing and safe walk you will also hear stories about Estonian beliefs and folklore related to the bogs.
NB! The order of the activities may differ.

De trip was erg Leuk om te doen. Leuke gids die veel vertelde over alles en nog wat over Tallin en de omgeving. Waterval en het nationaal park waren erg mooi.
Amazing ! Jorge is an amazing Guide
Bellissima esperienza! La nostra guida Jorge fantastica!
One of the best experiences of our trip through the Baltic countries! The destinations we visited and the landscapes we crossed in the company of our tour guide Marilin, with her detailed explanations and love for her land, made all the difference!
Everything was nice, very recommend!!
Excellent experience. Connection with nature and perfect explanation from our tour guide Federico. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed the day tour with our guide Stassi. Stassi gave us an entertaining introduction to Estonian culture, flora, and fauna. There was plenty of time at all the stops. We particularly liked the restaurant with its Estonian specialties. We would recommend the day tour to anyone.
A day trip surrounded by nature, with breathtaking views and landscapes. The tour guide was very attentive and accompanied us with grace without being pushy. The restaurant was not included, but served very fresh fish at affordable prices. The only downside was the cost of €119 per person, which I think should be lowered. But I highly recommend it!
The trip was enjoyable. It is a great way to spend a day admiring Estonia's natural beauty. Our guide Chris was excellent, entertaining us with interesting facts, helpfulness, and very good English.
