Overview of your Riga tour

This private day tour covers two different areas in vicinity of Riga. We start with National park in Kemeri located 60km from downtown Riga. Wild scenery of Latvian bogs is mostly hidden from the eys of visitors, except a few places were walking trails are built, one of them in Great Kemeri Bog. If you love photography this is a special place for sunrise and sunset shooting - in this case we adapt tour time accordingly. Kemeri Bog nature trail with a bird observation tower in the middle of the bog is interesting to experience at any time and any season. After walk in Great Kemeri Bog we visit the dazzling center of resort town Jurmala. Located alongside wide sandy beaches, Jurmala has been a popular resort spot for almost two hundred years. It is most recognised by its unique wooden architecture - villas, manors and summer houses. There are more than 4000 wooden buildings, four hundred of which are architectural monuments.

We had a wonderful day with Iveta on this tour. The nature was magical and peaceful, and a great change of pace from other adventures on this trip. We had a delicious lunch at a restaurant Iveta recommended, and dined together over stories of her life. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know Iveta, and hear her experiences as Latvia has changed during and after Soviet times. This was our last tour on the trip, and it was a perfect ending on a high note.

Our guide was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well, and she knew a great deal of history about times during the Soviets and the independence, she also really knew Riga & The Whole country well we wish we could have had her our whole trip! She was very generous with her time. . She was also very good on the nature details and took us to the secret beaches and the famous ones. The big walk is Not to be missed! I would use her for any tour, she is well informed on many issues.

Your Riga tour itinerary

We start our journey with a walk in Great Kemeri Bog and you can choose your walking distance between the Big Circle of 3. 4 km or Small Circle of 1. 4 km. There is some 10 minutes walk from the car parking spot to the starting point of the trail. The trail is made of wooden boards and is easy to walk with opportunity to sit down and relax on the way. Among other bog plants you can spot a unique insectivorous plant sundew to be seen only here. Observing differend birds depends on their migration season. After experiencing wild at heart nature we move to the adjacent resort town Jurmala. Formerly popular with the aristocracy and the wealthier part of the population and nowadays with tourists from all over Europe. You will have a time to take a lunch on your own (reccommendations provided), followed by stroll on the beach and a drive around the residential part of Jūrmala to see some of the stunning wooden architecture. After that we return to Riga, 25km.
