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!

Informative The landscape is HUGE and its not even the biggest. Would recommend comming on spring/summer time for extra experience. The guide was very informative and friendly!

Just perfect For those who love hiking this is the perfect activity, in just one morning we went from rivers to forests and lakes to the Baltic Sea .. the guide was impeccable and super prepared .. at the end a nice hot tea and typical Lithuanian sweets .. unforgettable day!!

Great tour! The tour was excellent. Rolands, the guide, was very knowledgeable and nice. I greatly appreciated that the tour was organised even on Christmas day, allowing me to make best use of my time as a tourist in Riga. The bog had very vivid colours even if it is late December.

blue sky +and the silence of the kemeri bog It was a wonderful day, cool, sunshine and blue sky- natural silence in the Kemeri curve. We already knew Roland's guide from previous activities. It is always inspiring, exciting and relaxed to be on the road with Roland. On the basis of his professional experience as a biologist in various monitoring in Latvia, Roland draws from a rich fund about nature and shares it playfully. My wife and I enjoyed and appreciated these 4 hours in the high moor very much, especially the silence and the experience of hiking on snowshoes over the wobbly moor. Thank you Roland for this experience – the trip was beautiful. Greetings Mohani + Michael from Munich

A Unique Experience I had a thoroughly enjoyable day learning about the fascinating ecosystem of the Kemeri Boglands. There was an easy walk along the wooden boardwalks, which allowed one to inspect close up the plant life and the impact of water on the environment. I was struck by the beauty of this unique place.Rolands, my guide, was personable and knowledgeable about all things Latvian and he was able to answer questions on a broad range of topics. The optional trip to Jermala beach is also highly recommended.

Thank you Rolands - we had a great day! A wonderful day out - a unique experience and Rolands was such a fabulous guide. He provided so much interesting information about the places that we went to and so much more about Latvia in general and gave recommendations. We wished we were staying longer to explore more of the countryside outside Riga. Kemeri was so peaceful and beautiful even without any sun - a gentle boardwalk hike around a fascinating place. Great view from the towers. Rolands took lots of photos for us - great to have those memories and he provided some sweets and sweet herbal tea. A genuinely lovely person who made the day and knew a lot about a lot and was fluent in English. We learnt so much. I would wholeheartedly recommend. Loved it!

A beautiful spot in the Baltics. A beautiful spot to explore close to Riga. I've never been to a bog before and having the chance to go to one as large and beautiful as this was a real treat,

Amazing, peaceful and recharching trip Rolands was a really nice tour guide. He explained a lot about Latvian culture, the national park and its importance. The national park is an amazing place, which is definitvely worth the visit! With its special colours and atmosphere, the national park is a great contrast to the city Riga.If you want to really dive into the Latvian culture, you need to be in nature.Paldies to Rolands, we would, of course, do the trip again!

Perfekte Tagestour Es war eine wundervollen Tagestour verteilt auf 2 verschiedene Orte! Das Moor war super schön, vor allem weil die Nebelschwaden alles in ein ganz besonderes Licht tauchten. Auch der Sumpfwald war super schön. Hier könnte man von der Aussichtsplattform viele Vögel beobachten. Der Guide war super nett, gesprächig und hat jede Frage toll und ausführlich beantwortet! Insgesamt ein absolut perfekter Tag!! Dankeschön!!

Amazing trip! Highly recommend amazing trip with Rolands. He is a great tourguide and very fun as well! It was such a great day. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend to book his tours.We really learned a lot during our tour today and also got to taste some Latvian sweets which Rolands brought us. And he‘s a great photographer as well. That‘s nice because we not often have photos of the two of us.

A perfect unique experience! I don’t even know how to start the review. Everything was perfect. The guide (Rolands) contacted me few days before the adventure asking for my shoe size just to ensure I have comfortable rubber boot that fits and reminded me of all the things I should bring for the day. I was the only participant since it’s off season but the entire experince wasnt ackward at all. I had so much fun. My first ever experience bog-shoeing in the wild thru off beaten path and I’m really glad that I did this. It is a unique experience and the place / view is so stunning! Rolands picked up some wild berries for me to try. And I love them!I would definately recommend this activity to everyone who loves nature. 5 ⭐️ from me! 😁

Great day with Rolands in Gauja We had a wonderful trip with Rolands. He is such a friendly person, a terrific guide, and is very knowledgeable about the area’s significance and history. I would gladly book another trip with him!

It was a pleasure 🙂 We liked the trip very much. We started the day with a walk around the Gauja National Park, which delighted us with its views. Lunch was planned in a very nice place, and it was very tasty. Then we went towards the castle and we stopped at the viewing point. We also loved the peaceful surroundings. The trip is perfect for people who want to take a break from the noise of the city. In these few hours you can calm down and spend a nice time close to nature. The guide is a true professional. A perfectly balanced dose of knowledge and a sense of humor. We had a very nice time, this day made us want to return to Latvia and choose another trip with the same guide. It was a great pleasure, thank you.

Bog walk with a „professional“ Very convenient tour. The walk through the bog was just great. Our guide Rolands is a bog pro and knows everything about it. He gave us very detailed information and we had a lot of fun as well.Bog walk took about 2 hours.Highly recommend!!!!

Ein unvergessliches Naturerlebnis Die Kajaktour durch den Gauja Nationalpark war ein unbeschreiblicher Naturgenuss gewürzt mit einem Hauch von Abenteuer und stellte zweifellos das Highlight unseres 2-wöchigen Lettland 🇱🇻 Urlaubes dar. Die rund 6-stündige Tour war auch für uns im schon fortgeschrittenen Alter und mit nur geringer Kajakerfahrung gut zu meistern. Neben uns nahm noch ein holländischer Vater mit seinem Sohn an der Tour teil und wir hatten sehr viel Spaß zusammen. Der deutlich sichtbaren Liebe zur Natur und seinem Heimatland unseres perfekt englisch und ein bisschen deutsch sprechenden Guides konnte man sich gar nicht entziehen. Er versorgte uns nicht nur mit sehr interessanten Informationen über sein Heimatland sondern auch zur Mittagszeit auf einer idyllischen Sandbank mit leckeren lettischen Spezialitäten. Eine Tour die ihren etwas gehobenen Preis auf alle Fälle wert ist, da man die Naturschönheiten in einer kleinen Gruppe viel intensiver erleben kann. Wir können diese Tour uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
