We were very lucky as we had the perfect weather for this tour. It is definitely worth to get up that early in the morning and start the tour (03:00am) to this wonderful nature experience. Our guide Viesturs had a great knowledge about Latvia, Riga and the whole story about the nature in that wonderful country. Many thanks to him and for that unique experience!!
We had this tour with Mikalis and he has been willing to help and to show us around. Our first stop was at the beautiful Kemeri park and it was infestated with mosquitoes, so please don’t forget to take some repellent with you. We saw the magical sunrise from the watchtower and wow…what a beautiful view! After that we went to Jūrmala beach and town and had a breakfast there in a nice café. It was worth to get up so early, we definitely recommend this tour if you pass by Riga!
A great hike to the untouched nature, stunning views of the park, beautiful villages and refreshing swim in Jūrmala at the and. Krista was a perfect guide and enabled us to have one of Latvia’s highlights.
We had a great trip with Erlens, who was very friendly and gave good information. It was well worth getting up that early, because we saw a beautiful sunrise. Afterwards we went to Jurmala for a drive around and walk on the beach. Perfect start of the day.
This was a great trip from start to finish and really added some lovely memories to our holiday in Latvia. Armand was on time to collect us, very friendly and chatty and was attentive to our needs the whole time. He knew so much about Latvian history and nature and was very willing to answer any questions and share his expertise. I don’t think you could ask him a question he doesn’t know the answer to! We were so lucky and had the whole Kemeri Park to ourselves as we arrived so early in the morning, it was so beautiful and peaceful. I really recommend even in winter, the snow made the whole park look even more amazing
- pick up at stay - friendly and chatty Tourguide (he used to also doing free walking tours - so lots of interesting facts 24/7) - water and snacks included - overall 10/10 experience - (we are a couple from Berlin, nice experience for sure)
The view in the morning is truly stunning. Don't be stopped from booking because it might be foggy, that actually looks even more amazing! Our guide Vilnis was funny and nice, we had a good time on the tour. As a professional photographer he took some pictures (including of us) that he later edited and shared with us, which was so kind! Thank you again for that! Eventhough we were hoping to learn a bit more about the Kemeri park itself, Vilnis could tell us a lot about Latvia and its people, which was really interesting.
The tour was really a unique experience. Kemeri National Park was simply an absolute highlight. Unfortunately, we did not have optimal weather that day, but that did not diminish the fascination of the place. Vilnis made our day even more beautiful with his expertise and friendly manner. I can recommend the tour to everyone, if he is a friend of nature and likes to hike. Simply wonderful!
Do this at the start of your trip! This was an incredible and unforgettable experience. It was just my partner and I on this tour and very few others around during sunrise. It was absolutely serene and stunningly beautiful. The landmarks and scenery in Jurmala were also breathtaking and captivating. Our guide Vilnis was incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. His English was excellent and he was able to give us a lot of meaningful background information that you simply never get on your average tour. He went out of his way to give us advice and suggestions; with no shortage of insight about all things Latvian. Don’t pass this tour up!
Peaceful, somewhat otherworldly landscape. Sunrise was beautiful and it was only us and some wildlife there to enjoy it.
