Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car from the larger island of Hiiumaa or Saaremaa, head towards the mainland and reach the town of Virtsu. From Virtsu, take the Virtsu-Kuivastu ferry (make sure to check the ferry schedule in advance), which operates frequently and costs approximately €10 per vehicle. Once you arrive at Kuivastu on Muhu Island, drive towards the causeway that connects Muhu Island to Saaremaa Island. After crossing, continue driving until you reach the town of Kuressaare. From Kuressaare, take the road towards the ferry terminal in the town of Rohuküla. Board the Rohuküla-Vormsi ferry, which runs a few times daily and costs around €5-€10 per passenger. The ferry ride takes about 30 minutes, and upon arrival at Vormsi, you can follow local signs to reach your destination.

Public Transportation

For those using public transportation, first take a bus from Tallinn or Pärnu to the town of Virtsu. Buses operate several times a day, and tickets can be purchased online or at the station. Once you arrive in Virtsu, board the Virtsu-Kuivastu ferry. After reaching Kuivastu, take a bus to Kuressaare. Then, from Kuressaare, you will need to take another bus to Rohuküla to catch the Rohuküla-Vormsi ferry. Make sure to check the bus and ferry timetables in advance, as they may vary by season. The total travel time could take several hours, so plan accordingly.

Taxi or Rideshare

If you prefer a more direct route, consider using a taxi or rideshare service from Kuressaare or Virtsu to the Rohuküla ferry terminal. This option is more expensive, typically costing between €30 and €50 depending on the distance and waiting time. Make sure to arrange the taxi in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure availability. This will save you the hassle of coordinating bus schedules and allow for a more flexible travel experience.
