Prangli Island Day Trip

Spend a day on Prangli Island, located just 30 km from the capital. Untouched by mass tourism, Prangli is a charming place with sandy beaches, pine forests and friendly locals who are happy to share the culture and customs of the island.

We wanted to visit an Estonian island, so we decided to book the Prangli Island tour with Prangli Travel. The experience was amazing, every second was worth it. The island was beautiful and quiet this time of the year. We were told we were brave to visit in November, but at the end I think we were lucky because we experienced the island the way only Estonians do. Helen, our guide, was incredibly nice and she gave us useful insight about Prangli and Estonia. We had an amazing day!

Highlights

Get out of the city to a small island

Drive around in an open-top Soviet-style truck or jeep

Discover authentic fishing villages and a wooden church

Taste on local island cuisine

Visit a natural gas source, unique in the whole of Estonia

Description

The tour starts with a transfer to Leppneeme harbour where we will take a ferry to the island (1 hour).

You’ll then have the chance to discover Prangli Island in an open-top Soviet-style truck or jeep. It might not be the most comfortable way to travel, but it’s surely the most fun! You'll discover all the important sites that this small island has to offer!

Explore the historic background of the coastal-folk and the islanders, as well as the stories and legends explaining various landmarks.

This sightseeing tour takes about 2.5 hours and covers a small open-air museum, church, nature reserve and a natural gas grill. Strange, but true, the weather is usually much better on the island than it is on the mainland.

Depending on the group size and the day, we will organize lunch for you in either a touristic farm or seaside restaurant. Both venues offer island specialities.

After lunch you will have a few hours to explore the island on your own. Prangli is untouched by mass tourism, and has wonderful sandy beaches and pine forests as well as lots of fresh air.

At the end of the day we will take the ferry back to Leppneeme harbour and Tallinn city centre.

Highly recommend this experience!
I went on the Prangli Island day trip with Kristiina and had the most lovely day! The island is super pretty and peaceful and the guide was very professional and also great to talk to. :) She told many interesting stories about the island, which has been continuously inhabited for about 600 years. That and riding on the back of a pick-up truck to see places I couldn't reach by foot made the day much more special than if I had gone there by myself. We visited quite a few interesting sights in the morning, from the tower of a cute wooden church to a natural gas source (where I could blow the fire out myself, haha) and even picked some delicious berries on the way. Lunch was tasty and took place in a beautiful scenery. After that I had about 3 hours to explore the island by myself, walking around and enjoying the views. Totally recommend it!
The Serenity of Prangli Island
We (myself + wife) had an amazing visit, many thanks to our Prangli Travel tour guide Berit who was exceptionally warm and welcoming and who spoke from her personal/ intimate connect with Prangli island, having worked on the island as a school teacher. The small group size was perfect and helped us strike friendly conversations not just with Berit but also our fellow travellers, who like Berit were local Estonians and extremely warm in their demeanor and sharing
