This route is for those who would like to see the active and fast-growing centre of Riga – Lucavsala. It is possible to wakeboard, to have a great meal at a restaurant, to have a picnic or just rest in the green area.

A longer route just nearby Riga centre! After exploring and kayaking in Riga channel, you will cross Daugava (the widest river of Latvia) and enter another channel, Zunds channel, which allows you to see the other side of the river, passing by the glass-mirrored skyscrapers as well as the green area where you will not feel like in a capital city at all.

From: 38 EUR per person


Length: 15 km / 9.3 miles
Duration: 4-6 hours
Level: intermediate

The longest kayaking route just nearby! A great possibility to see not only the beauty of Riga channel, Castle of Light – National Library of Latvia and panorama of the Old Town of Riga, but also three green islands, Zaķusala, Lucavsala, and Ķīpsala, of the river Daugava. Bear in mind, while being very scenic, this route also requires some paddling skills, as it is longer and a bit more challenging than Riga channel alone.

From: 51 EUR per person


Length: 15 km / 9.3 miles
Duration: 4-6 hours
Level: intermediate

The old Riga Shipyard is accessible only via waterway. See the huge, amazing ships resting in docks and waiting for someone to restore their ability to cross the far-away seas. By the way, this trip ends by a nice and cozy kitesurfers’ “Cabo Cafe”. Feel the adventure!

From: 51 EUR per person

    Steph, our guide, was absolutely brilliant. Picked us up from our hotel and told us all about Riga on the commute to and from the bobsleigh track. The g-force bobsleigh was amazing (it feels like a roller-coaster) and we didn't have to wait long. There's also an observation deck where you can view the national park.
    The only downside was an error by the office staff overcharging us for the experience, which put a downer on the day, as I was told I wasn't able to do the bobsleigh unless we paid more. This was eventually resolved by the owner when he apologised for the error and confirmed no further payment was needed. I advise you pay the balance in full before the trip to avoid incompetent staff trying to overcharge you.
