Wetland Tour and Overnight Stay on a Bog Island
A 45-minute drive from Tartu brings you to Peipsiveere Nature Reserve, one of Estonia's wildest and least populated areas. This vast and unspoiled wetland, a Ramsar site, shelters numerous endangered species and is teeming with signs of wildlife activity. It's home to iconic Estonian animals like wolves, bears, and lynxes, along with elusive birds, notably eagles. The reserve is exceptionally tranquil, free from artificial noises in this remote region. On our hike, we'll spend the night on a secluded bog island, immersed in pristine nature amidst expansive bog landscapes. Dinner will be prepared using seasonal forest ingredients on a camping stove, and we'll sleep in tree tents. In the morning, we'll enjoy breakfast and hike back to the starting point, all under the guidance of an experienced local nature guide.

Traditional Estonian mushroom hunting
Picking mushrooms are for many estonians like a summer national sport and tradition from generations to generations. We invite you to a guided mushroom foraging tour to Järvselja forest area and to the forests on the bog islands of Emajõe-Suursoo, located in Peipsiveere Nature Reserve. Experience the scenic landscape with no artificial noises and most likely no other people.
Guided by an experienced guide, we will hike to places where you will find the best delicacies of Estonian nature. We will learn how to find our own mushroom spots, what to pick and what to leave in the forest, and how to cook and store mushrooms for the winter.
At the end of the hike, we will build a campfire and serve dishes made from fresh mushrooms we just picked.

Aksi Island Tour
Aksi Island is the neighboring island of Prangli, which is why it's often called "Little Prangli." What impresses visitors most are the island's extraordinary natural landscapes.
Thanks to the Aksberg family who once lived here, Aksi is known for its shipbuilding history. On the island, you can see a unique stone labyrinth dating back to 1849 and hear fascinating stories about the island's colorful settlement before World War II.
Today, the island is permanently uninhabited and under nature protection. Aksi has no harbor of its own. To reach the island, a private boat must be arranged. That means a visit to Aksi depends on wind conditions and can turn into quite a sea adventure.

Guided smoke sauna ritual
A sauna ritual in Wiire’s smoke sauna is a sensual, deeply touching experience that takes you out of your everyday life and brings you back to your centre. This facilitated journey is led by a sauna woman – a space creator, storyteller and spiritual healer in whose caring hands the sauna becomes a sacred place. The ritual follows the stages that have evolved over time, inspired by nature and folklore: welcoming, cleansing, healing and giving thanks. At each step, one moves deeper into relaxation and connection with oneself. The sauna uses only natural ingredients – salt, ash, honey, herbs and various incense to invigorate the body, revitalise the senses and soothe the soul. The sauna ritual progresses from a peaceful introduction through an intense middle section to a quiet and grateful end. Each participant’s experience is personal and unique – created in the moment, in the space and with themselves.
Possible to stay overnight.

Kayaking Tour in Ķemeri National Park
Experience an unforgettable sunrise, daytime or sunset kayaking tour in one of the largest peat bogs on the Latvian coast - Ķemeri National Park.
The bog is approximately 8000 years old and is characterized by a winding labyrinth of small lakes and pools, which gives it a unique and picturesque landscape. On the eastern edge of the Great Ķemeri Bog, a peat quarry was started during the Soviet era, but after the year 2000, a bog restoration project was implemented, resulting in its flooding. In the flooded area, a labyrinth of channels and pools has formed, creating a distinctive and unusual scenery. The bog lake showcases a diverse landscape, with low-lying herbaceous bogs, transitional areas, and the characteristic plants, shrubs, and trees of tall peat bogs. Whether during the day, at sunset, or at sunrise, the views are truly captivating!

Adventure during the Spring Flood Season
Spend two full days outdoors boating and hiking in the Dviete Floodplain in southeast Latvia. The floodplain meadows are flooded by the waters of Daugava, the largest river in Latvia, usually between mid-March and the beginning of May, with the water rising by 4-6 meters. During high waters, we go kayaking over the flooded meadows. When the water is low, we explore the area by hiking. Be prepared to challenge your outdoor survival skills as we will be building our own shelters for overnight stay. At nighttime, we might hear the neighing of wild horses and, with a high probability, the howling of wolves. The Dviete Floodplain is located on a bird migration route of European importance, and in springtime, gathering waterfowl can be observed.
