Vohilaid lies just northeast of the island of Hiiumaa and belongs to the administrative municipality of Pühalepa Parish. The sea between Hiiumaa and Vohilaid is consistently only 40 cm deep, so that the traffic between the islands is possible.
Vohilaid was first mentioned in chronicles in 1586. The island was inhabited until WWII but today is only used as grazing land.
To the north of Vohilaid are other small islands: Hellamaa, Uuemererahu, Ramsi and Kadakalaid. 1.5 km to the northeast of Vohilaid lies the small island of Hõralaid.
