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.

Dewberry picking trip on Sorgu island
Sorgu is a small uninhabited island in Pärnu Bay, near Kihnu and Manija islands. The most valued aspects of the island are its untouched nature and the abundance of seabird species, including cormorants. If you love berry-picking, then August-October is the ideal time to come on the trip because that's when the dewberries are ripe! A lot of berries grow on Sorgu island because ferries don't regularly come here, and therefore there are only a few berry pickers. We will take you and your group to the island by a kayak, a motorboat or a sailboat, where we will fill our buckets with berries, have a fresh jam sandwich, and take a look at the island with a tour guide!
