The guide will explain the unique ecosystem, local flora and fauna, and the cultural significance of bogs in Latvia. It’s a peaceful nature experience filled with fresh air, panoramic views, and great photo opportunities.

In the historic resort area of Ķemeri, travelers will explore the peaceful park and elegant remains of Latvia’s once-famous spa destination. The guide will share stories of the town’s golden age in the 19th and 20th centuries, when mineral waters and therapeutic mud attracted visitors from across the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union.

4.00Good trip, appreciated the opportunity to get out of Riga and visit the unique bog and nice beach! It felt a little rushed but that may have been due to the number of places we went! Overall enjoyed the outing!
Fantastic guide and breathtaking bogs!

5.00I had an awesome experience touring the beautiful Kemeri Bog and Jurmala with my guide, Maria. Maria was very knowledgeable about the bog, the history of Kemeri's sanitorium and park and the wooden architecture of Jurmala. She also helpfully called the restaurant where I might have dropped my wallet after the tour, allowing me to locate it :)! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves basking in nature as the view from the observation tower in the bog is simply breathtaking!
Highly recommended tour, superb guide.

5.00Absolutely brilliant tour. Our guide, Erlens, was one of the best guides we've ever had. He went above and beyond with his attention to detail, his knowledge, his easy-going attitude and genuineness. The bog boardwalk in Kemeri National Park was very scenic and a great trip into Latvian countryside. We had a lovely drive and walk around Jurmala, and were given lots of information by Erlens.
Wonderful Latvian country tour.

5.00The fresh air in the National Park was amazing! It was also a new experience to walk though a bog and to witness the changes in plant life, water, and birds on that ecosystem. Jurmala was a complete bit nice contrast to the National Park in the sense that this town is of careful human creation rather than of the natural creation exhibited by the Park. The Baltic coast beach was also quite a contrast to the bog in the Park! Erlens was a fantastic tour guide: expertly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive.
Great one day experience
