Seal-Watching Trip – one of a kind nature tour in Estonia
The Baltic Sea has been home for seals for about 10 000 years, they are biggest water mammals in this region. We invite you to join our seal watching nature tour near Malusi islands – the natural retreat for seals. We reach the islands by a larger boat, departing from one of the north coast’s lovely port villages Kaberneeme. Seals are curious animals – usually they swim nearby the boat within minutes. To encourage the seals to come out and meet us, we use a clever lure: classical music! On our trip we talk about the smaller islands on our way to Malusi and talk about the seals every day life. Come with us to admire seals – one of a kind nature tour in Estonia. See you!

- listen to the stories about old traditions on the North coast of Estonia;

Tour Reviews
We had a great experience with your company on our seal, watching trip last Sunday. Even though the seals weren’t plentiful, we still had a great time. Especially with your guide, Helena, who was not just very knowledgeable and gave us great tips, but also made our kids feel very welcome on board. It is definitely a trip that is worth it and we will recommend it highly to our friends and colleagues.
We went on the seal watching cruise and it was awesome!
The weather was nice, we got to see seals and our guide, Triin was very interesting and knowledgeable about Estonian Islands, History and seals.
I really enjoyed the seal watching tour. Liina was fantastic.
Seal spotting tour in Estonia
Nice tour! Going on the boat to the sea, with the small islands, the wind and the shining sun – this was already charming itself. We were in a real wild nature with many birds like cormorants and eagles, and, of course, the seals. The seals were curious about us and cautious at the same time, keeping some distance from our boat but close enough to enjoy watching at them. With interesting guidance, this was one of the most beatiful experiences during our one week travelling in Estonia.

Take your binoculars, windproof jacket and of course, if you have it, a camera! Let me say, it is a nature tour so do not expect seals to give you a special performance next to you 😜 Thank you Prangli Travel for this wonderful Sunday! 🤗
Unique nature tour in Estonia – Seal spotting
Last year I found out that it’s possible to go on a seal watch here in Estonia. Didn’t think twice and got the tickets! I loved this little seal exploration trip so much! Thank you @pranglitravel for organizing trips like this and sharing the knowledge! 💙 We were taken by the boat to the area of small remote islands. The first thing I noticed were the bird islands covered with countless cormorants. Soon I started to notice little heads peeking at us from the water… Seals are very curious animals by their nature, so they quickly came closer to our boat to check who are we (these seals are wild animals, they are not fed by people etc). The main seals who live in Estonian waters are gray seals. They can weigh up to 300 kg. Gray seals are predators and feed themselves by catching cod. Years ago it was possible to see three types of seals here, now it’s only one. Mostly because of the heavy ship traffic and the fact that there is no sea ice during the winter. We are not on this planet alone, it’s time to understand that and start living in harmony with nature and other species. This way we can maintain all this breathtaking beauty.🙏
