In the bog your tour guide will tell you more about the bog flora, fauna and folklore tales while you have a refreshing 2 hour hike. Going to sauna, is something that Estonians still do very often, the real experience would be to try it in the Estonian way – jumping into the snow or a pond after heating yourself up in in a typical small wooden sauna.

Tour Reviews
Thank you for organizing a very interesting bog-shoe walk with Helen and her charming son, Orm. We really enjoyed all of it – including the bath in a bog pool and Helens tasty lunch snacks 😀
Great tour through the bogs and a sauna, to relax afterward.
We were even given a little birthday surprise. Very highly recommended!
Wonderful experience
We had a wonderful day with Andreas doing the bog and sauna tour. Andreas was extremely nice and friendly. He taught us how to enjoy the sauna as Estonians do. Everything was really perfect. Highly recommended.
Bog and sauna tour
We booked the bog and sauna tour with Prangli Travel and it was fantastic! Our very knowledgeable and pleasant guide picked us up direct from our hotel, we were driven out to the bog and it was lovely to walk across it. The weather was cold and crisp which made it even more enjoyable. We were then driven to our private sauna where we had two hours to relax and a lovely home made lunch. Well worth it! Thoroughly recommend 🙂
Our day started with our marvellous guide Helen picking us up and taking us out to her hometown to grab some pastries and beer. Then we headed to the woods and bog for a hike, with Helen providing us with a lot of info about the Estonian forests, history and way of life. The smoke sauna at Helen’s place was great, really fun and her family and gorgeous huskies were very welcoming. We had a great day, and would definitely recommend that if you want to experience either the Estonian bogs or the sauna, this tour is an awesome option
Today we did the bog hike and sauna tour! It was amazing. A beautiful hike in the woods and bog! We tried lichen, cowberries and cranberries and saw a beautiful snowy winter landscape! And it was no one but my daughter, the guide and I! Super peaceful. Then we were received at our lovely guide Helen’s amazing property with husky’s and a smoke sauna! It was a wonderful way to experience the peace and calm of the countryside! And amazing door to door service! I highly recommend it!!
My husband and I booked a private bog and sauna tour in June – a day trip from Tallinn. Kristiina, our guide (who I emailed back and forth for a couple of months while planning this trip) organized everything very well, was very easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable guide. She picked us up from our Airbnb in Tallinn and drove us to a beautiful bog where we spent couple of hours walking, taking pictures and enjoying our conversation with her. Afterward we drove to the sauna, where we were warmly greeted by Ljudmilla the owner of the cosy family run sauna retreat. We were the only guests there – it was really private, everything was clean and comfortable. Ljudmilla was a wonderful host – she brought us some kwas ( drink made with sauerd flour) and seeing how much we liked it, she gave us some to take home with us. After relaxing in a sauna for a couple of hours we had lunch, prepared by Ljudmilla, on the porch with a beautiful view of her garden and a little fish pond. She gave us a tour of her garden and introduced us to a couple of her pets: potbelly pig and a pony. I also got to practice my Russian with Ljudmilla, as I don’t speak Estonian ( she could speak English, too, but it was fun to brush up on my Russian). Kristiina of course was speaking English fluently.
We had a wonderful, relaxing day in Estonian countryside and we definitely recommend Kristiina and Prangli.
