Paddling a canoe on a river is one of the best ways to get to know the nature of Soomaa National Park and naturally, it is a lovely way to relax.
We recommend a guided canoe trip for those people who wish to know more about Soomaa National Park.
The day tour usually lasts 3–6 hours and includes, if you wish, a walk in the bog.
The price includes: a spot in a canoe, a paddle, a life jacket, a guide, and transport of the drivers to the starting point of the trip.
You can join us on a canoe trip alone or with a large group of friends.
In cooperation with the Farm Museum of C. R. Jakobson, we offer a possibility to spend a fun day that includes:
* 2-hour canoe trip on the Pärnu River;
* lunch in the threshing barn of the Farm Museum (soup, barley-bread, cake, juice).
The river is generally quiet in this area. The route passes ruins of watermills, beaver trails and the old Samliku School House, which you can visit on request.
For an additional fee, a tour guide will join your company on the river.
The offer is well suited for larger groups, families and groups of friends.
A canoe trip is a great way to spend a wonderful day in nature with friends or family.
The diverse Pärnu River has a relatively calm flow, with smaller rapids and rocky sections adding excitement. Along the banks, you can see interesting sights.
Choose a suitable distance – a short canoe ride lasting a couple of hours or a full-day excursion. You can find detailed route examples on our website.
The price includes canoe transport, life jackets, instructions, and driver transportation. The exact price of the trip depends on the route and the number of participants.
Additionally, you can order a guide service, accommodation, catering, and a sauna.
This adventurous day in Soomaa National Park is a combination of a bog-shoe hike and canoeing.
An experienced guide leads you through the forest to Estonia's biggest bog –Kuresoo.
A pair of special bog-shoes will help you in crossing parts of the bog you would otherwise be unable to, offering an unforgettable experience. The bog-shoes keep your head above water and protect the landscape at the same time!
After a lunch in the great outdoors, we continue on with a relaxing canoe trip along the national park's rivers.
Everyone who heads out on one of these hikes in Soomaa National Park is given a pair of bog shoes and will be led by a local guide, who will provide instructions and tell interesting stories about the area.
You will get to experience the thrill of walking in places that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Interesting to know: bog shoes have been around for a long time – they were first used by our ancestors for moving around in the bogs.
The hikes last from 2 to 5 hours. The price depends on the size of the group.
NB! We do not organise hikes during the period in spring when birds are nesting.
Popular canoe trips take place on the picturesque and quiet rivers of Raudna, Halliste or Lemmjõgi. The duration of the trip depends on the complexity of the trip and the river conditions during different seasons.
