Prangli lies north-east of Tallinn off the Viimsi peninsula. It is smaller than Naissaar, but in one respect it is the richer island: its community never left. Families have lived here for centuries, and Prangli still has a school, a shop, a wooden church and working harbours.
That makes it the best-organised small-island day out from Tallinn. Several operators run all-inclusive trips with the ferry, a ride round the island in an open truck, lunch of local fish and, on some tours, a sauna.
Top things to do: Prangli Island
Tour the island by truck
The classic Prangli experience is a bumpy circuit of the island in the back of an open truck, with a local guide pointing out the villages, the church and the beaches.
Walk the pine forest and shore
Prangli is small and flat, with sandy tracks through the forest, dunes and long beaches. A guided hiking tour is among the bookable options.
Eat island food
Lunch — typically fish, potatoes and black bread — is included in most organised trips and is a large part of their charm.
Compare the day trips
Three Prangli trips from Tallinn are listed on GetYourGuide. Our ranked list explains how they differ.
How to get to Prangli Island
- By ferry: the public ferry to Prangli sails from Leppneeme harbour on the Viimsi peninsula, north-east of Tallinn, to Kelnase harbour on the island. The crossing takes about an hour.
- On a tour: organised day trips include transport from Tallinn to the harbour and the ferry tickets, which is the simplest way to go.
- Independently: check the ferry timetable in advance; sailings are limited, especially outside summer.
Insider tips
- The Prangli ferry also sails outside the summer season, unlike the Naissaar boats — useful in spring and autumn.
- Carry some cash for the shop and for small purchases.
- Weather can cancel sailings on either island; keep a flexible day in your plans.
