Hike Gauja National Park from Riga on a guided 15 km route through forests, river valleys, caves, and Sigulda, Latvia’s Little Switzerland.

“This was the highlight of my trip to Latvia so far. The scenery was beautiful! We walked alongside the river for a good portion of the hike, and the view from the top of the hill was breathtaking. There was even a section of the hike that went through a beautiful grassy pasture with cows. It was such a cool experience to go from the Riga city scene to the peace and quiet of the park. The amount of walking and areas of incline was worth every second. The tour guide was so informative, and because I was solo it was a very personalized experience. I definitely recommend this hike…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 6 hours · from $147

Review of the Great Ķemeri Bog and Slokas Lake hike, with raised bogs, flooded alder forest, hotel pickup, and guide Rolands.

“The walk through Kemeri bog and Swamp forest were perfect! Rolands was very knowledgeable about all the nature, animal species, conservation, and also Latvian culture in general. It was a relaxing walk through two very scenic routes but not tiring at all super manageable. Rolands was also very friendly, and clearly very passionate about ecology which was absolutely lovely to see. As a solo woman traveller I always seek guides that I feel safe with and I can definitely say I felt very comfortable throughout the whole experience. It’s rare to find a tour guide so knowledgeable and friendly. I learnt so much about the nature of the national park…”
