Latvia · CANOES & KAYAKS
Not every booking earns a place on a short itinerary. These 4 canoes & kayaks tours do — below is what each includes and how they differ.
Kayak Riga in about 3.5 hours with a dry bag, safety gear, digital route map, and flexible guided or self-paced routes.
“Great price for exploring Riga waterways on warm and sunny day and not worrying about hidden fees or time limitations, cool owner”
One-day kayaking in Latvia’s Gauja National Park from Riga, with hotel pickup, small-group guidance, and a local picnic lunch.
“Although the condition on the river was not perfect, water level was high and it was windy, I enjoyed the trip very much. The trip startet on a smaller river wich was fun and my guide Rolands took care to get me around the tree chunks. Unfortunately due to the high water level there were not many places for a rest. Nevertheless we enjoyed a good traditioal meal. The Organisation was perfekt, even I was the only participant. Perhaps summer or autumn would be a better time. Althougether, very good trip”
Paddle the wild Gauja River Valley on a small-group kayaking trip from Riga to Sigulda, with expert guidance and flexible distance.
“We had such a wonderful time kayaking down the Gaujda River, the kayaking took ~4 hours, we got lucky and it was just the 2 of us. Our guide, Ronalds, made the experience extra special—he is so knowledgeable about the ecosystem and river, and he shared fascinating details about the cliffs, water levels, and wildlife along the way. He also took us to see parts of the cliffs you’d never notice unless you were on the river, which made the whole experience feel unique. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere was so peaceful. Ronalds made sure we set the pace, which kept the trip stress-free and fun. To…”
Rent a kayak in central Riga for 2 to 3 hours. Friendly instruction, life jacket included, canal loop, self-guided map routes.
“Easy to book, the guys were very friendly and gave me everything I needed… a quick safety chat and equipment handed over, then some advice on some good routes. I went through the canal, then back along the river. Not many big boats so was easy to navigate and gave a brilliant new perspective of the city.”
Every kind of Latvian day out, and the best of each.
