A huge thank you to Rolands, our knowledgeable, professional and witty guide. We appreciated his deep local and academic knowledge of his beautiful countryside. His personal perspective on conservation, history and culture made us really fall in love with Latvia. Exploring the nature after days in the city Riga helped us understand Latvians.
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.
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!
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!
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.

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 ;)
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. ☺️
One of the most beautiful parks that I've seen in the world; and I'm not easily impressed. An absolute must do for nature lovers.
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!
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.
