Our 3-4 hour kayaking tour on the Bay of Tallinn will offer a waterbird’s-eye view of Estonia’s capital and its „medievally modern” skyline, plus a slice of history, from its days as a major trading port in the Russian Empire to its prominence in the Danish era, and its more recent Soviet occupation.
As we paddle past 8 ports, with a collection of military vessels, including Estonia’s own WWII-era submarine, „Lembit”, we’ll get a glimpse of Peter the Great’s marine castle and Patarie – the seldom visited but infamous NKVD prison. A welcome next stop will be Paljasaare Peninsula, with a walk on sandy Pikakari beach, Tallinn’s closest bird watching area. From there, we’ll paddle back to the city – enjoying the sweep of graceful architecture - towers, spires, and the onion dome of the Russian Orthodox cathedral – that still punctuates the rapidly changing skyline. Notes: - Tour starting point: City center, next to Linnahall, an easy walk from the Old Town, starting at 18.00/6p.m. - Duration: About 3-4 hours, with about 9 km of kayaking.
