The bogs are places very dear to all Estonians and have been part of our culture for centuries. Therefore one mustn’t leave Estonia before visiting a bog. The bog-shoe hiking in a bog takes you to places what otherwise would be inaccessible. We hike around the bog pools, admire the wildlife, climb the watch-tower and listen to mysterious stories and legends our tour guides tell about the bogs. Bog-shoe hike is doable all year round and offers different discoveries every season. Have an unforgettable adventure in Estonia and come to a bog-shoe hike in the picturesque Kõnnu Suursoo.
In wintertime, we organize the same tour as a snow-shoe hiking tour.
PRICE INCLUDES: pick-up and drop off to your hotel in Tallinn, guided hiking in a bog, bog-shoes.

Tour Reviews
Perfect day with a wonderful guide! It was so easy to schedule this tour. Marilin was punctual, prepared, and very knowledgeable. She shared a lot of information about the bog and the natural areas we visited. She also gave us a very good orientation to Estonia and answered all of our questions. A definite highlight of our trip.
We really enjoyed exploring the bog landscapes with our fantastic guide Keidi. We did this tour in the snow which made it extra magical. Keidi shared her knowledge of the area and it was an experience we simply couldn’t have had without a guide. Definitely recommend if you’re staying in Tallinn and want to see a little more of Estonia outside the city.
We were a group of 4 adults and we booked a bogshoeing day tour with Prangli Travels. We interacted with Nele who was extremely helpful and prompt in replying to emails and answering all my many questions about the outing. She told us Marilin will be our bogshoeing guide and she is the best nature guide in Estonia.
This turned out to be absolutely true. The bogshoeing was such a wonderful, fun and unique experience and Marilin was truly the best guide we could have asked for. Her love and passion for nature really came thru. Apart from the bogshoeing, she also showed us so many cool plants – many varieties of edible berries and mushrooms as well as carnivorous plants in the bog.
Very highly recommend Prangli Travels and the unique bogshoeing experience and ask for Marilin as your guide.
Very cool tour – Katri was a very competent guide with a lot of knowledge about everything that grows and lives in a bog. We really enjoyed it and can recommend the tour to anyone!
It was a great tour with a great guide. Everything went smoothly and Meriliis was able to tell us a lot about the country and nature. The mud shoe hike was really great including a swim in one of the lakes. We really enjoyed it. Definitely recommendable.
Incredible outing to see a beautiful bog outside of Tallinn. Our guide was so knowledgeable, friendly, and made this a truly memorable experience for us. Highly recommend!
Great Experience, very friendly and competent guide, got to learn a lot about the bog and its plants. A must if you like the outdoors.
Beautilful Estonian Countryside and a Fantastic Tour.
We did the Bog Shoe Hiking Tout with Prangli Travel in January 2023. It was a fantastic experience walking on the Estonian Bog. Our tour guides Keidi and Epp were extremely knowledgeable about the local area. The combination of the snow and greenery on the frozen bog made the Bog Hike a truly fascinating and memorable experience. I would strongly recommend using Prangli Travel and to venture out of the city of Tallinn to do this tour to see the beautiful countryside/nature that Estonia has to offer.
We have very enjoyed the activities and Keidi was fantastic!
Thank you very much for helping with the organization! The group was very happy, everything was perfect.
I will definitely remember about you in the implementation of the program for other groups in Tallinn.
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 😀
Yesterday we went on a bog hike with Helen and we want to say what a wonderful trip it was. Helen was a great guide. She made us feel safe even though neither of us had ever walked on a bog in bog shoes before. She was very knowledgeable about the bog and its flora and fauna, as well as aspects of Estonian history and legends. Helen was so friendly and outgoing that the trip was not only exciting but really fun. We’d recommend this trip to anyone visiting Tallinn as it gives such a contrast to simply seeing the (also impressive) old town.
Epic bog trip
It was such a great and unique experience to do the hike. We had a great guide, Triin. She knows so much about the bog and the and the plants and creatures. The tour was exactly long enough cause it is very intense. Would recommend to do this unique experience.
My podcast featuring bog shoe hike with Helen is live HERE!
Anne and I had a fantastic trip.
Thank you very much for organising it for us.
I recommend everyone who is visiting Tallinn to do this trip. It was a really great experience to hike in this beautiful landscape. You should take some waterproof shoes with you, because you probably get a little wet, if you are not careful where you set your foot 😉
Bog-shoeing and husky-sledding: BEST DAY EVER!
My boyfriend and I had the best day ever with our wonderful guide, Helen. We were interested in doing some winter activities whilst we were in Estonia and enquired about bog-shoeing and husky-sledding. Prangli Travel suggested that we could do both in the same day in a combo-tour, which is what we ended up doing. It was so much fun! Helen was great and we learned so much about Estonian life – as well as about the bog and the huskies! Would highly recommend – it was the best day of our holiday! Thanks Helen and Prangli Travel.
Excellent day out!
We spent the day with Helen who took us on a beautiful snow shoe hike in the morning which was lots of fun! Me and my girlfriend had never been snow-shoeing before but both thoroughly enjoyed it.
In the afternoon she took us to us a local Husky farm and we loved getting to meet all the dogs and give them lots of fuss. We then went on a great husky sleigh ride and also got to meet some of the puppies.
We both loved the whole day and had a great time. Helen was an excellent guide and had lots of interesting facts and stories about the area to share with us!
We would both highly recommend this to any other travellers.
Made a bog hike with Helen. Was a very nice experience for me and my (teen) kids.
And also the Secrets of the Soviets tour with Annika was very interesting. We did learn a lot about the history of Estland. I can only say when you visit Tallinn you surely have to go on these kind of trips to see what you normally would not see.
I’m sure next time when I am in Estland I will call Prangli team to show me more nice places.
