We had an amazing experience: Dolev Galski We had an amazing experience exploring Kemeri National Park. Our guide, Rolands, was fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting information about the different ecosystems we visited. We also had enjoyable conversations about Latvia and life in general.The scenery in the park was beautiful, especially the bog area, which had a unique, almost otherworldly atmosphere. We were able to see all three types of wetlands as well as the Baltic Sea shoreline.The picnic lunch that Rolands prepared was delicious and included a nice selection of local food and drinks.Overall, I highly recommend the “Best of Kemeri National Park in One Day” tour to anyone interested in nature and learning more about Latvia.

Beautiful hike through the Nature of Latvia! Rolands was an absolute delight and an exceptional guide! Really enjoyed the whole experience and seeing the nature aspects of Latvia! This is a great 1/2 day adventure to round out a visit to Riga!

Amazing nature, passionate tourguide! We had an amazing day together with Rolands. He picked us up right on schedule, and in the car his enthusiasm for the tour was immediately apparent! He told us all about the day, about what we could expect. The tour exceeded all our expectations, it was truly beautiful.Rolands was very informative, told us all about the area, the history, the nature. Not only did we enjoy the hiking and breathing in the fresh air, we also learned some very interesting things! Rolands was very friendly and talkative and we could ask all the questions we want, even about the Latvian language and traditions. He was also very helpful, when my wife had trouble with some paths, he helped her. Even when she stubbed her toe, it didn't take any joy out of the day.We had so much fun and laughed a lot. The lunch was also very well prepared and very delicious. Rolands thought of everything, took many lovely pictures, we couldn't have asked for a better guide, paldies Rolands!

Amazing Latvian Nature Experience Our guide, Rolands is a super person full of enthusiasm, extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant. The tour was the Great Kemeri Bog and Forest Hiking Adventure. The scenery was beautiful and Roland’s commentary was very comprehensive and enjoyable. During this excursion, it became evident how much pristine nature in Latvia has been preserved. The hike was a great workout in a truly gorgeous place. I would highly recommend this experience and Rolands, our fabulous guide!

Perfect nature tour This is a fantastic tour of a unique environment that allows you to become fully immersed in the special landscape of Latvia. I was lucky enough to do the tour in mid September when the vibrant colors of the moss, other plants, and trees made the big a sight to behold. The guide, Rolands, was extremely knowledgeable about the ecology and environment! He was patient with all of my questions and a pleasure to have as a host.

Best one day Trip to explore Kemeri national park Unbelievable that these nature wonderlands are only 40 min from riga. Our guide Rolands was really outgoing and thought us so much about the nature and flora of the national park. The best daytrip we could’ve Imagined. Thanks for the time Rolands and see you next time.

Unmissable Experience! We had such a wonderful time kayaking down the Gauja River, the kayaking for us took ~4 hours, we got lucky and it was just the 2 of us. Our guide, Ronalds, made the experience extra special—he was 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 top it all off, he brought along local food for us to try—such a thoughtful touch! Pick-up and drop-off from our hotel was included, which made everything really easy.I’m not sure I can put into words exactly how much I would recommend doing this trip—it was just one of those experiences that you never forget. I don’t think there’s anything like this it’s a must do excursion!

Great tour, great guide Really great tour, our guide Rolands was fantastic. Very friendly, and knowledgable about the natural world. Highly recommended

Excellent experience The guide was amazing because knowing in many areas so exciting and enthusiastic story. Answers to all questions and excellent pace. The landscapes are worthy of another planet and wonderful. You will have a great time so this is an excursion that I highly recommend.

Quiet but superb river Wonderful moments shared with our guide who shared his knowledge about nature. Delicious sandwich and other local snacks at lunch. 21km of calm on the river. Thank you.

A special morning! Beautiful experience in the middle of nature! The ecosystem that characterizes this swamp is extraordinary! We chose to see the sunrise. Rolands, our guide, picked us up at 4 a.m. We arrived that the forest was shrouded in fog, a surreal landscape! We walked for about 2 km on the wooden walkway, to get to the tower from which we waited for the sunrise. Rolands is very prepared and made the day special with his sympathy. The route is a loop and you travel about 4 km, suitable for everyone. Afterwards we went to visit the resort of Jurmala and saw the long beach washed by the Baltic Sea. At 8:30 we were back in Riga. I absolutely recommend this experience, there were two of us and it was like hiking with an old friend!

We are so happy that we chose this tour From: Luescher Nadja, SPS19-71 Sent: Monday, August 11, 2025 4:07 PMAn: roaccutane17@hotmail.com Subject: It was such a great day!! Rolands is not only a competent and pleasant guide but also very funny. We really had a lot of fun! The places were very varied and nature beautiful. The surprise snack - or even the sumptuous lunch 🙂 - was really delicious! I can highly recommend this tour (necessarily this tour - there are also smaller ones) and Rolands as a guide. There is absolutely nothing wrong.... except maybe.... that he offered us too much coffee 😉

Fantastic tour of Latvian nature Rolands was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. A really informative and interesting tour of the national park and Jurmala. Thoroughly recommended to anyone visiting Riga.

Day trip from Riga to Kuldiga My wife and I booked the “Exploring Medieval Gems of Kuldīga, Sabile and Kandava” full day tour. The plan was to visit Kuldīga, Sabile, and Kandava as a day trip from Riga. The weather did not cooperate and we had rain all day. But in spite of the rain, we had great time and got a little wet as we walked around Kuldiga. Our guide, Rolands, kept us entertained the entire time with local history and information. We stopped in Sabile and had a very good lunch. We decided not to stop in Kandava (we were sufficiently wet, lol) but we were able to see some of town as we drove through. Rolands is an excellent guide. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him and to have him share his insights of the area. I highly recommend Roland’s and this day trip from Riga.

Beautiful towns and nature experience This was an excellent tour. The tour guide Roland was very informative and made the day memorable for us. He was in touch with us before the tour with information about what to expect throughout the day. He took pictures of us during our tours of the towns. We had a nice lunch in a café that Roland recommended and it was delicious. During the drive he made restroom/coffee stops for us. We were able to personalize our trip and chose a walk in the Cuzu Mire Nature Reserve. It was nice to get out into the nature of Latvia. Highly recommend this trip with Roland and Baltic Nature Adventures.

Thanks for the educational and authentic day. It was a brilliant trip. Roland with his funny and authentic manner has brought us wonderfully closer to Latvian nature and culture. Especially the delicious picnic was the highlight. Thank you. ☺️

Great Adventure 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

Wonderful day at Kemeri Great Bog & Jurmala We only had a short day in Riga from our cruise. Rolands helped us make the best of it with a fun hike through the incredible Kemeri Great Bog. We got a bonus side trip in a swamp area which was very different from the big. The visit to Jurmala surprised us with an amazing beach. We managed to squeeze in a brief visit to old town Riga before we had to leave. Rolands is an excellent representative of Latvia. He was kind, patient and professional. We learned so much and will be glad to return one day to take more tours!

Excellent! 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 Jurmala and then on the beautiful sandy beach to see the Gulf of Riga. Rolands gave us the option to stay on in Jurmala and make our own way back if we wanted, but we were happy to travel back with him as we had other things planned. Throughout the tour Rolands gave us all the relative information about what we needed to see and know and also gave some general information about Latvia. He was happy to take photos of us during the trip and shared with us on WhatsApp afterwards. There were basic toilet facilities at the National Park and beach. But bring your own bottle of water and wear comfy outdoor walking clothes (walking boots not required, trainers are fine). We would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see more of Latvia beyond Riga.

Great experience walking along the boardwalks at Kemeri Bog, and an amazing beach at Jurmala! Great experience! Rolands was very knowledgable and we felt comfortable asking lots of questions. Kemeri and Jurmala were beautiful places, definitely worth having a guide who knows all about them!

Breathtaking Trip to Kemeri During our stay in Riga, we decided to explore the surrounding areas, and our journey through the Kemeri National Park, followed by a visit to Jurmala Beach, was truly enchanting—both educational and unforgettable. The experience was elevated by our guide, Rolands, whose warmth, reliability, and deep knowledge of the park's natural wonders and Latvia’s rich history made the day even more special. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour and, without a doubt, would take it again in a heartbeat!

Highly recommend! We had a great day. Our guide Rolands was happy, committed and knowledgeable. Very good at the English language and was patient with all our questions😅. Highly recommend to take an excursion here if you are in Riga. Five stars ⭐️

Kemala Nationalpark and Jurmala Beach was so much fun! We really enjoyed the tour with Roland. We really had a great time at the nationalpark and in Jurmala. Roland is a super nice and pleasant person. It was fun and we learned a lot!

Kemeri Great Bog and Jurmala Visit Latvia was such a surprise to us! Beautiful country with amazing national forests. In particular, the Kemeri Great Bog is an experience not to be missed! Certainly one of the most unique places in the world you can visit. Our tour was made even more memorable by our tour guide, Rolands. He shared alot of interesting facts and made the entire day out very fun. The stars aligned for us because we were so lucky to have had the entire park to ourselves when we were there. Highly recommended! 5 out of 5.

Excellent trip out to nature from Riga with expert Guide, Rolands Excellent trip out to nature from Riga with a very professional and personable guide Rolands. Pick up direct from hotel with only around 45 minute drive to the wetlands area which was a real delight of tranquility and a unique ecosystem. Rolands has considerable techinal knowledge of the wetlands and its preservation to enhance the trip experience. The beach at Jurmala was also a revelation of an expansive stretch of pristine and unspoilt coastline and beach. Tour and Rolands, highly recommended.

One of a kind experience. The experience we had was top-notch! Super thanks to Rolands for everything we got to see and learn about. What a passionate person about the natural beauty of Latvia. Would definitely book again when back in Latvia.

Fantastic nature tour! Roland was a brilliant guide! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was very friendly. Highly recommend booking this tour to experience nature in Latvia!

A fabulous day out Wow this was an amazing trip. Our guide Rolands and his assistant Dita were great fun and very informative. The walk through the bog was a challenge as it was very icy on the planks but we managed to stay upright! We enjoyed a very nice Latvian lunch of snacks which was delicious sat by the lake. Great views through the forest of the beach too. Highly recommend this trip.

Our best day in Latvia We were in Latvia for 10 days, and this was our favourite day. A stunning private tour of three very distinct environments in Kemeri National Park. Roland was an excellent local tour guide: highly knowledgeable (the man has two degrees) and friendly, bringing lots of personal touches to the day… including his wife’s cooking! We had an amazing time on this adventure and would recommend to anyone.

Arem-stunning moorland, beautiful beach, top tour guide Highly recommended tour through the breathtaking moorland of Kemeri National Park. We were lucky enough to experience the moor and the beach as a fairytale snow landscape. Roland from Idea-Aventures picked us up directly from the hotel and made the 5h tour a great experience. We felt completely comfortable and could learn a lot about this natural wonder and Latvia in general through his inspiring stories. Booking in advance worked out quite easily, and the price-performance is top! Roland taking many photos of us during the tour and delivering them to us afterwards was the crowning conclusion of our trip. We would definitely come back!
