Seal Watching

Seal watching is undoubtedly one of the most unique nature experiences in Estonia!

The Baltic Sea has been home to seals for around 10,000 years. They are the largest marine mammals in our waters.

The best places to encounter grey seals in Northern Estonia are about an hour’s boat ride from the mainland harbors. Our seal watching takes place about an hour’s boat ride from the northern coast or from Prangli Island – near the Malusi Islands or close to Aegna Island.

What could be better than good company, a gentle sea breeze, and the chance to see these intelligent and charming creatures in their natural habitat?
Private seal watching tours are available from April to October. Regular seal watching trips depart every Sunday from July to September.
