Half Day Hiking Tour in Beautiful Estonian Nature
Overview
Available languages
5 hours
Mobile ticket
We drive up to an hour from Tallinn's city center. We end up in Estonian nature, where you probably won't meet any other tourists. Because the site I'll take you to is away from the typical travel agency routes and you can't get there by public transport. At the same time, you shouldn't worry because all the trails are in good condition and as scenic as they get. The hiking part takes up to 3 hours. Estonia is a pretty flat country, but in this area, you'll see some fast-changing landscapes, beautiful lakes, bogs, and forests, which will give you a good quick overview of what Estonian nature is like. After the hike, we drive back to Tallinn, where I can drop you off at any location you prefer. So in 5 hours, you can claim that you have been to Estonia and experienced what its nature has to offer in full.
This tour is open to the elements, so dress properly. There is no bad weather only wrong clothing. As the weather in Estonia is quite unpredictable, be prepared for anything.

Jagala Waterfall
One of the only few waterfalls in Estonia. Highest natural waterfall near Tallinn. The waterfall is approximately 8 metres high and more than 50 metres wide. Beautiful and photogenic nature site, which looks different in every season. Good place for photos and viewing the falling water from different angles. No additional hiking is required.

Valuable dip of Estonian nature

5.00I really enjoyed the short trip into Estonian nature. Johan managed the group according to needs and was able to tell a lot. We were definitely away from the tourism hotspot. Thank you so much!
Stunning, beautiful, amazing

5.00This tour was absolutely excellent. Johan picked us up from our hotel in Tallinn, and gave us a little insight into Estonian history and culture on the car ride to the walking trail, then the trail itself was stunning! We couldn’t quite believe what we were seeing, it was so beautiful, and Juhan was happy to answer all our questions. Would 100% recommend this tour, we’re even tempted to come back in the summer to see the trail in a different form. Thank you Juhan!

5.00Amazing time with a very knowledgeable tour guide, Mr. Juhan. I picked his mind for a history lesson in regards to the birth of Estonia and he gave me a timeline starting back to the early 10,000 B.. I had a great time and will definitely book again with Juhan when I am back in town!
Great day in a nature

5.00Juhan is a very knowledgeable and amazing tour guide. He took us to places where it was just us and nature, with no other people around. He gave us a clear overview of Estonian history and shared many interesting facts along the way. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to spend time in nature, avoid crowds, and truly enjoy the peace, quiet and nature.
A Great Balance To My Time In Tallinn

5.00A half-day visit to the Estonian wilderness was a great balance to my time in Tallinn. Juhan agreed to the tour even though I was the only guest, and I booked it on short notice. We headed to the Paunküla Landscape Conservation Area (Paunkula Maastikukaitseala) for a truly lovely 3-4 mile hiking tour of forests, bogs, and lakes (sadly, not an animal in sight, though), then, a quick trip to the Jagala Waterfall. Juhan was a knowledgeable tour guide, as well as prompt, detail-oriented, and a safe driver.

First Snow in Estonia

5.00My wife and I had a lovely time on this trip to Estonian nature. Johan was warm and welcoming, and knowledgeable about so many things. We managed to get out in the first snow before it had melted and enjoyed beautiful views of frosted lakes. The trek is very manageable and well kept. Johan gave us options too if we wanted to change the itinerary, but we were happy to stick to the plan as described, stopping for a warm brew before continuing onto the waterfall. We would both recommend this tour.
Amazing experience
