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. Regular trips 5.07, 20.07, 2.08, 9.08, 23.08 and 13.09

This autumn tour focuses on three key species: Eurasian Lynx, Brown Bear, and Grey Wolf, in three distinct wilderness areas - West Estonia, Lahemaa National Park, and the Alutaguse area. We'll spend a night in a Brown Bear hide in the Alutaguse area. In autumn, bears actively forage to prepare for winter hibernation. We'll search for Eurasian Lynx primarily in the late afternoon, evening, and night using thermal scopes, covering significant ground. For Grey Wolves, we'll head to the stable western region where wolf packs have resided for years. During the day, we'll rest or engage in brief birdwatching trips. While our main focus is on the three predators, we'll have good opportunities to see Raccoon Dogs, Elk, Red Foxes, and Pine Martens.

During winter season, it is exciting to go with snowshoes or kicksleds to hike into the forest, swamps, ponds or across lakes. A discovery trip is not just a walk, but a journey full of emotions.
