This 7 to 8-hour bus tour visits several notable sites within Lahemaa National Park. The first stop is Jagala Waterfall, Estonia’s highest natural waterfall, which drops 8 metres over a limestone cliff. Visitors can view the falls from above or walk down closer to the river while the guide explains its formation. Next, the tour continues with a walk along the Viru Bog Trail. The path begins in the forest and leads to a boardwalk crossing the bog, ending at an observation tower with views of clear bog pools and surrounding vegetation. In summer, swimming in the bog pools is possible if visitors bring swimwear and mosquito repellent. After the bog walk, the group visits either Palmse Manor or Sagadi Manor, depending on the season or client preference. Palmse Manor is a restored baroque mansion with an open-air museum, while Sagadi Manor features Baltic-German heritage architecture. Both manors lie within Lahemaa National Park and illustrate historic manor life. The final stop is either Käsmu or Altja village. Käsmu, known as the “captains’ village,” has maritime history dating back to 1453 and offers beaches and hiking trails. Altja is a fishing village with traditional reed-roof houses and a seaside path. Only one village is visited per tour, based on season or preference. The tour includes guide service and air-conditioned transportation. A lunch break occurs during the day but is not included in the price.
