Prangli Island is located just 30 km from Estonia’s capital. It is the only Northern Estonian Island, that has been continuously inhabited for more than 600 years. It has its own dialect of the Estonian language, very diverse nature with plants that can boost your immune system, friendly locals and strong traditions in fishing. Mass tourism hasn’t touched the small island, so it still has wonderful and lonely sandy beaches. Prangli pine forests create enough fresh air to overwhelm the senses. Come and visit this beautiful Estonian island.

1
Enjoy a comfortable transfer along Tallinn’s seaside to Leppneeme harbour for an introduction to Estonia’s coastal life-style and Prangli Island
Prangli Island is the only northern Estonian island that has been continuously inhabited for more than 600 years. It still has a very strong fishing tradition, its own dialect of the Estonian language, diverse nature and friendly locals. First, the transfer takes you to the Viimsi peninsula and Leppneeme harbour, from where we will take a ferry to the island (1 hour).
2
Discover Prangli Island on an open-top truck or jeep
Touring around in an open-top soviet-type truck or jeep might not be the most comfortable, but it’s surely the most fun way to discover all the important sites that this small island (6.44 km2) has to offer. The most common themes that come up during the guided tour are the historical background of the coastal-folk and the islanders, and the stories and legends explaining the various sites and their lifestyle. The sightseeing tour takes about 2.5 hours and covers a small open-air museum, church, nature reserve and a natural gas grill etc. Strange, but true, the weather is usually much better on the island than it is on the mainland.
3
Taste local food
Depending on the group size and the day we will organize the lunch for you in either a touristic farm or at the seaside restaurant. Both venues offer island specialities.
4
Admire islands natural beauty
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 that create enough fresh air to overwhelm the senses. In the villages the atmosphere is authentic which feels like being in an open-air museum.

Prangli Island Daytrip
I toured Prangli Island with a wonderful guide, Helena. I was in the Baltics for three weeks, and this day on Prangli Island stands out as the highlight of my entire trip! The tour had a complimentary balance of time on your own to explore the island and a guided tour, with a provided lunch in the middle. Helena was personable and explained island life, noting how people on the island live, shop for groceries, and ferry to the mainland. Riding bike, sitting by the sea, and learning about Estonia made for an unforgettable day as we explored the island by truck. The tour was fun and adventurous while valuing the local heritage. We visited the Community Center and voted on the school children’s artwork. Helena even had a few surprises for us on our tour!
This is a must for all visiting Tallinn! Transportation was provided from Old Town. The day was perfect! Thank you, Helena, for such happy memories from my time in Estonia!
