Birdwatching Tours in Estonia

Estonia is considered one of the best destinations in Europe for birdwatching and birding, as it is an important stopover along the East Atlantic Flyway.

Every spring and autumn, millions of migratory birds gather along Estonia’s coastline to rest and feed during their long journeys between breeding and wintering grounds. Despite its small size, Estonia offers an exceptional variety of landscapes, making it possible to observe bird species from a wide range of habitats within relatively short distances.

Lynx Tours in Estonia

Estonia’s vast protected areas provide excellent habitats for a wide range of wildlife and mammals. Visitors may encounter brown bears, moose, raccoon dogs, Baltic grey seals, and many other charismatic species.

However, the most sought-after species on wildlife tours in Estonia is undoubtedly the Eurasian lynx.

Known for being elusive and difficult to spot, lynx sightings require patience, time, experienced guides, and a bit of luck. On dedicated lynx-watching tours, however, the chances of encountering these fascinating “tuft-eared” cats are surprisingly good.

Nature Photography in Estonia

All of the species mentioned above can also be photographed — some more easily than others, and some only with a great deal of luck.

Beyond wildlife, Estonia’s landscapes, bogs, coastlines, forests, cultural heritage, and local people offer a wide variety of subjects for nature and travel photography.

Thanks to this diversity of photographic opportunities, Estonia is an outstanding destination for nature photographers and photography enthusiasts alike.
