Getting There & Around

How to Get to Vahase

Access typically requires a private boat from Kuressaare or another Saaremaa harbour; there are no scheduled passenger services. Local skippers know the safe landings and tidal quirks.

Tips for Visiting Vahase

  • Check local tide tables before planning a visit-some islets are easier to circumnavigate at low tide.
  • Go with a local guide from Saaremaa to learn about any protected flora or archaeological sites you should avoid disturbing.
  • Bring insect repellent in summer-the Baltic is prone to midges in sheltered spots.
