A route to shape around your client

Muhu and Saaremaa offer a quieter Estonia island journey connected by ferry from the mainland. The route pairs a night on Muhu with three nights around Kuressaare, allowing village heritage, coastal outings and restorative downtime without changing base every day.

The outline allows 6 nights, including arrival and departure planning. Keep the sequence, extend a favourite base or change the balance of activity and downtime. This is an illustrative FIT journey for travel agents; accommodation, transport and experiences are selected for the final brief.

A flexible starting point

Book the Virtsu–Kuivastu ferry and allow a full transfer day each way. Muhu connects to Saaremaa by causeway. Return to the mainland before the final flight day.

Nature & Wellbeing

We can tailor this outline, combine it with another route, or design a new programme from scratch.

Day 1

Tallinn arrival

Arrive in Tallinn and settle into the city for the first night. A local walk and dinner make a relaxed introduction to Estonia before the next day’s road and ferry journey to the islands. Overnight: Tallinn.

Boats and waterside buildings at Koguva harbour on Muhu

Day 2

Ferry to Muhu

Drive to Virtsu and cross by ferry to Kuivastu on Muhu. After reaching your accommodation, the afternoon remains free to enjoy the island’s quieter surroundings without another long transfer or a fixed activity. Overnight: Muhu.

Day 3

Muhu to Saaremaa

Spend the morning discovering Muhu through a village visit and local craft, according to opening times. Continue across the causeway to Saaremaa and settle near Kuressaare, your base for the next three nights. Overnight: Kuressaare area.

Day 4

Kuressaare and rest

Explore Kuressaare and the surroundings of its castle before a quieter afternoon. Depending on the accommodation selected, a spa or sauna session can add time to unwind after the previous day’s island journey. Overnight: same base.

Day 5

The southern coast

Follow the coast towards Sõrve on an outing shaped around short walks and scenic stops. Returning to the same accommodation leaves more time for the shoreline and a leisurely lunch along the way. Overnight: same base.

Day 6

Return to the mainland

Return through Muhu and take the reserved ferry to the mainland before continuing to Tallinn. The day allows room for rest stops and port delays, with a final city night ahead of departure. Overnight: Tallinn.

Day 7

Departure

Travel to Tallinn Airport after the final mainland night. With the island crossings completed the previous day, the morning can be planned around the flight rather than a ferry connection.
