This is the second largest among 1,500 islands in Estonia, approximately 70 kilometers from west to east. The main highlights of the island can be visited during our 1 day tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Places of interest on Hiiumaa Island<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting by bus or automobile from Tallinn, we will drive for 100 km to the west and arrive to the small and cozy town of Haapsalu, which is rich with historical events. Driving through the town we\u2019ll see the steam engine museum and wooden building of the railway station, built especially for the Russian Tsar\u2019s train in the 19th century. We\u2019ll drive for 5 more kilometers and arrive to the port of Rohukula, where a ferry to the island is waiting for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The distance between the mainland and Hiiumaa Island is less than 20 km, but it takes about 2 hours to go across the canal. On the way we can enjoy the sea views, have breakfast in the caf\u00e9 on board, or go online with Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we get to the island, we\u2019ll head to the manor house that belonged to the landlord Ungern-Setrnberg, the family that owned the island. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/discover-estonia.dezajno.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-lauri-poldre-16986457.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/discover-estonia.dezajno.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-lauri-poldre-16986457.webp 640w, https:\/\/discover-estonia.dezajno.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pexels-lauri-poldre-16986457-200x300.webp 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the members of this family became a shore pirate in the 18th century and for that was sentenced to a lifetime conviction. Next we will visit the former house islands owner, with a beautiful flower garden, church, and a monument to the famous Estonian artist \u2013 Johan Koler, who was born on this settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next stop will be a meteorite crater which appeared about 400 million years ago. We can still see the place of collision on the landscape. The crater is called by the name of the capital of Hiiumaa \u2013 the town of Kardla, where we will arrive several minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kardla is the main and only town on the island. You will be surprised how calm and quiet small Estonian towns can be. Life here seems to be slowing down, and we are also falling for that and driving slower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, our trip goes on, and in several kilometers we will reaching Tahkuna lighthouse. This is a 42 meter high white tower and is the highest lighthouse in Estonia and one of the highest on the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Estonian lighthouses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiiumaa lighthouses \u2013 Tahkuna, Kopu, and Ristna are the only lighthouses in Estonia opened to visitors. And what a view from up there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next stop is Kopu lighthouse \u2013 the oldest functioning in the world, since 1531. We\u2019ll go up the tower and after enjoying a panoramic view, continue on our way. In half an hour we\u2019ll go up on Fox\u2019s hill \u2013 the highest point of Hiiumaa Island. This piece of land was the first that rose from the bottom of the ancient sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more stop \u2013 lunch. In the shade of\u2026 The lighthouse! Tables and chairs of the caf\u00e9 are right under the Red tower of Ristna lighthouse. Here we\u2019ll enjoy home-made food and it will be possible to go up the lighthouse and watch the surroundings with binoculars with a view of 20 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After \u00a0lunch we are going to enjoy the seaside and the juniper forest. We will walk along the peninsula which, according to the local legend, was made by Leiger \u2013 the giant chief and guardian of Hiiumaa Island. After this walk and a mass of fresh air we\u2019ll head back to the port, where the ferry is waiting to take us to the mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>LISATUD VAATAMISV\u00c4\u00c4RSUSED<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Haapsalu and the castle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Haapsalu wooden Tsar\u2019s railway station building<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiiumaa lighthouses: Tahkuna, Kopu, Ristna (inside visit depending on the season)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ungern\u2019s manor house (from the outside) with the flower garden<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Several stops at picturesque sites on the coast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hind sisaldab<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transportation for 12 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guide services for 12 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Praamipiletid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lighthouses tickets<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":140,"template":"","class_list":["post-138","estonia-tours","type-estonia-tours","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Discover Estonia - Choose from our list of Estonia Tours with our professionally trained and licensed guides<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the enchanting beauty of Estonia, a hidden gem in Northern Europe.
