At the activity centre, you can spend some lovely time, take a step back in time (for a couple of hundred years), and try everything out on your own.
The building, which is nearly 200 years old, includes a hall of guns and armour, a medieval torture chamber, an ancient clothing showroom, and an artisan's workshop. In the courtyard, you can try shooting a bow or a crossbow, pet rabbits, see a water wheel with a unique area for water games, a ballista, a smithy, visit an area for woodwork, try coin minting, play other skill and mind games, and much more. But let us leave that for you to discover.
It is possible to organise celebrations and events for groups outside the opening hours of the centre at an agreed price.

A historical cobblestone road runs from Kihelkonna to Papissaare harbour; a boat captain will take your group to Vilsandi from there. This is a time to enjoy the views and take photos.
Then, you will travel at the back of a truck to a lighthouse, so you can enjoy the wonderful view of Vaika islands, where the preservation of nature in the Baltic countries began in 1910. You will learn how the first nature protection area was established in Estonia, and we will talk about the times when Vilsandi was a busy and active island of seamen and ship builders.
The coastal trip then takes you for a meal in a tourism farm; after lunch, you will travel on the truck back to the harbour and take a boat back to Saaremaa.
Comfortable hiking footwear and wind-proof clothing is essential.
