You’ll explore Ķemeri Great Bog on a guided 5-kilometer wooden boardwalk walk, with optional sunrise departures from April to September.

“We really enjoyed this excursion. Our tour guide Rolands was very friendly and informative. We were picked up from our hotel at 9am and returned at 2pm. In total we were 4 people, us plus another couple. The guided walk on the boardwalk around Kermeri Bog was spectacular! We were also lucky enough to see some wildlife including a Stork, Crane and Lizard! After we finished the 4km walk Rolands offered us some traditional Latvian sweets and tea. We were pleased we opted to do the Jurmala extension where Rolands drove us through the town pointing out things to see before we made a short stop at a viewpoint overlooking…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $150

Leave Riga before sunrise for a private drive to Lithuania’s Hill of Crosses with a guide such as Janis, Krista, or Matiss. Hear the site’s stories, examine its crosses and symbols, then explore alone and add your own cross if you wish. An optional Eleja border stop adds a quick photo break.

“Great tour from start to finsh.janis was a great tour guide told many stories about hill of crosses and pointed out the differences in some of the crosses plenty of free time at hill i am not a holy person but felt very moved when here. Only i would have liked a leaflet about hil which the guide had it had pictures of hill with no crosses on it but apart from that great tour once again janis was great tell him keep up with learning his spanish 5* tour🥳👍”

4.Sunrise at Kemeri National Park – Small Group

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $57Best value

Leave Riga about 90 minutes before sunrise for the Great Kemeri Bog Boardwalk with Latvian Gem. Your English-speaking guide, including Krista when available, handles the drive and timing while you walk through forest and bog. The private-style trip lasts about three hours, includes parking, and limits the group to eight people.

“The sunrise tour with Krista was amazing. The tour was perfectly timed and well worth the early morning departure. Kemeri National Park is gorgeous. Both the forest and the bog are magical to walk through. I really appreciated Krista's positive energy. It was lovely to learn more about not only the national park but Latvia as a whole. I really appreciated that she still ran the tour even though I was the only participant. It was like going for an outing with a well-informed friend. My only regret is not having more days in Riga left so I could take additional tours with Latvian Gem. I cannot recommend Krista and…”
