5.00Excellent way to see the city and have an adventure. I am not an experienced Kayaker and it was a very easy journey. Stephanie and her husband are lovely. They even recommended me restaurants and made a reservation for me. You also learn about Latvian culture and history as you are kayaking through the city. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Great experience

Kayaking on business trip

5.00I was in a business trip in Riga and it raised the idea to go for a custom kayak trip in the evening. The company was very flexible, they reached me out directly after the booking. They provided me advices and guidance, because there were tricky weather circumstances. I went on a custom kayak tour in the northern part of Riga. I strongly recommend them if anyone would like to go for kayaking here.
Great time

5.00We had a great time on the Kajak tour. We did the „forgotten Riga“ tour and it was very easy to navigate. The equipment was in a very good state and everything was well explained to us.
