Rather than having to stick to a kayaking experience that takes you to just a few select destinations, explore the waters of Riga at your own pace on this half-day self-guided kayaking tour. After a safety and instruction session, hop in your kayak and follow a digital route map to discover the city from a perspective most tourists miss.

Discover Gauja National Park from its most natural perspective - the river itself. Unlike standard kayaking trips that simply follow the main Gauja, this experience may also include one of its wilder tributaries, adding variety and adventure when conditions and the group’s experience allow. Depending on the chosen route and seasonal water levels, a tributary may offer a livelier current or occasional shallow sections where kayaks are briefly guided through the water. On the Gauja, you’ll paddle through the park’s most scenic stretch, with its highest concentration of spectacular Devonian sandstone cliffs, formed more than 350 million years ago, together with steep riverbanks and ancient forests. Throughout the day, your expert local nature guide shares engaging stories about the valley’s geology, wildlife and cultural heritage. The relaxed, interactive guiding style naturally adapts to the group and the conditions on the river, creating a genuinely personal nature experience.

See Riga from a different perspective on a relaxed boat ride through the historic canal and along the Daugava River. As you cruise through the Riga Canal, you'll pass beautiful parks, charming bridges and historic buildings. See iconic landmarks like the Latvian National Opera, the Freedom Monument, and the UNESCO-listed Riga Central Market, one of Europe's largest and most lively markets. Once you enter the Daugava River, you'll get a chance to see the other side of the city. Sail under the Akmens and Vanšu Bridges, pass by Riga Castle, and finish the journey back at Andrejosta. The boat is historic, renovated and holds great value – just like Riga. We hope you will appreciate our work! Families are welcome on this tour, and kids will enjoy the adventure of viewing Riga from the water. Pushchairs can be conveniently left at the port, ensuring a comfortable experience for everyone.
