Excursion Harilaid hike - kingdom of birds and flowers tour at Saaremaa

This half-day (four-hour) tour provides you the opportunity to experience the very essence of natural beauty of Saaremaa Island. Start your exploration with a 20-minute drive on the country roads of Saaremaa island, the biggest island of Estonia.

Your destination is Harilaiu peninsula, where you can stretch your legs for an approximately 10 km (7-mile) walk. The peninsula is one of the oldest parts of Vilsandi National Park and during the hike on the sandy-stony causeway, you have the chance to get familiar with the flora and fauna of this protected area. Be sure to have your cameras ready to spot rare birds or plants.

You can also see a 26-meter lighthouse, built in 1933 on an area that at the time was located just several dozen meters from the sea. Due to changes in the coastline, the lighthouse is now in the sea and it is tilted. It is also known as Saaremaa's "Tower of Pisa". After photo opportunity return to the bus and return to pier.
