Højdepunkter
Discover Gauja National Park from its most natural perspective - the river itself. Unlike standard kayaking trips that simply follow the main Gauja, this experience may also include one of its wilder tributaries, adding variety and adventure when conditions and the group’s experience allow. Depending on the chosen route and seasonal water levels, a tributary may offer a livelier current or occasional shallow sections where kayaks are briefly guided through the water. On the Gauja, you’ll paddle through the park’s most scenic stretch, with its highest concentration of spectacular Devonian sandstone cliffs, formed more than 350 million years ago, together with steep riverbanks and ancient forests. Throughout the day, your expert local nature guide shares engaging stories about the valley’s geology, wildlife and cultural heritage. The relaxed, interactive guiding style naturally adapts to the group and the conditions on the river, creating a genuinely personal nature experience.

Rute
Travel from Riga to Gauja National Park, Latvia’s oldest and most famous national park. After a short introduction to kayaking equipment and safety, begin paddling on one of the Gauja’s wilder tributaries before joining the majestic Gauja River. Depending on the season and water level, the tributary may offer a faster current or require occasional short portages or brief sections where kayaks are guided through shallow water, adding an extra sense of adventure. Once you reach the Gauja, the river widens and the scenery opens into spectacular views of towering Devonian sandstone cliffs, steep riverbanks and ancient forests. The standard route covers approximately 20 km with 5–6 hours of paddling, while a shorter route of around 12 km is available for a more relaxed experience. The exact route may be adjusted according to the group’s pace, preferences and current river conditions. Weather permitting, there are opportunities to stop for a swim before returning to Riga.

Riga was founded in 1201 and grew rich as a Hanseatic trading port on the Daugava River. Its old town, listed by UNESCO, has cobbled lanes around the Dome Cathedral, with a famous organ, and the spire of St Peter's Church, which has a viewing platform. The House of the Blackheads, a gabled merchants' guild hall, and the Three Brothers, among the oldest houses in the city, stand in the heart of the old town.
