Q: How can I get to Kihnu? 
A: Our ferry Kihnu Virve only departs from Munalaid harbour, which is about a 40km drive from Pärnu. If you are travelling without a car, then you can get to Munalaid from Pärnu by either bus or a taxi shuttle, depending on what ferry departure you are travelling with. Information on ferry departures and how to get to Kihnu from Munalaid can be found here - www.visitkihnu.ee/en/how-to-get-to-kihnu. We suggest checking the ferry homepage before your departure for any notice on possible delays or cancellations due to weather.

Q: Can you please organize accommodation and a tour for myself/our group during our stay?
A: Visit Kihnu is an organization, which provides and promotes information regarding local events, culture and businesses.
