Riga at Night Kayak Tour

While staying in Riga, some friends and I chose to try the kayaking trip along the canals. The most intriguing part was the time. The trip leaves at 10 pm! Seeing the old town at night was beautiful! The bridges that you go under are brilliantly lit. You must bring a waterproof camera like a gopro. You will be seeing many beautiful sights like fountains, statues, buildings, and yes, even beavers! I had a really great time on this excursion and would highly suggest people of all skill levels too try.

Our Night Kayak tour was a highlight of our trip to Riga. It was the most amazing way to see the city and gave a different and very interesting perspective. HUGELY RECOMMEND :D The guide was knowledgeable about the city and they also gave us a good quick masterclass in kayaking which meant that it was perfect for those with little or no experience either. The route was stunning and to see the city lit up was wonderful. The guide was engaging and encouraging and it was difficult to believe that the time had gone so quickly. Whilst the website says that the trip will take 2 hours (i.e. you will be done around 12) we found that it took much longer and were not back until around 1.15 but like I said it didn't feel that late!

Thank you for a great experience. We both loved it. My girlfriend a little nervous at first but it was no problem with such a professional and nice guide. We loved the peaceful and very different way to see the city. Thought 8 KM for us newbies in a kayak would be too much, but was no problem. Got good info and intro to how to kayak. Loved the fact that it was done at night but would also be a nice trip at day, I guess.
