Kayaking in Haapsalu

The Gulf Tagalaht and its surroundings in Haapsalu are an ideal place for kayaking. It’s also a great place to see many different bird species. Kayaking in autumn is a spectacle in itself because you can watch the migration of geese and common cranes. On the other hand, kayaking in summer is very pleasant in the sun. Often the water is too shallow even for kayaks, fortunately the route can be changed according to the group and water level. In addition, various sights can be seen, for example Haapsalu Kuursaal, different harbours, Suur Viik Bay, old Kalakombinaat, etc. At the beginning of the kayaking trip, we always talk about water safety and teach basic paddling skills.

Haapsalu water taxi

You can get on the Haapsalu water taxi to get from Haapsalu Grand Holm Marina to Österby Harbour. A water taxi is a good way to reach the Noarootsi peninsula to explore the coastal areas once inhabited by Swedes. The water taxi has room for ten people and you can also take bicycles with you to make your visit to Noarootsi even more exciting. The water taxi operates from Monday to Thursday by pre-order and from Friday to Sunday by pre-order and based on the schedule that’s published on Facebook. It takes 45 minutes to get from Haapsalu to Österby Harbour by car, but the water taxi will get you there in about 10 minutes.
