Soomaa National Park is a Wilderness Capital of Estonia. Soomaa translates as Land of Mires, it is a Ramsar site of protected wetlands since 1997 and a Natura 2000 area since 2004. The national park is best known for its great flood or the so-called fifth season, when the water from melted snow or heavy rains floods all the lower forests meadows and roads.

We are a group of local nature guides and we invite you to explore Soomaa National Park with us. Our company – Viis Aastaaega OÜ (translates as Five Seasons) – carries a European Charter for Sustainable Tourism (ECST) certificate of EUROPARC. Canoeing in spring, kickbiking in summer, bogshoeing in autumn, kicksledding in winter.

Night Canoe Trip

The best way to make the most of the white summer nights is to go hiking! Night canoe trip is an exotic way of spending warm summer nights. Things look different in the dark, and sometimes we can't see everything, but only hear it – or imagine it! Night trips are led by experienced local tour guides and the trip takes place on a calm Raudna River (3 hours). The trip takes us to beaver habitat and if we are lucky we might get a chance to observe beavers in their natural environment. The language of the trip is English!

NB! Transfers from Pärnu are also available for an extra fee.
