Don't hesitate, just do it! - Well, I wish I could give it 10 Stars! Stef (Stefanija) was a truly amazing kayak guide. We took a two-person kayak out in the waters around Riga and explored everything there was to see. She even made allowances for starting early due to the fact that it was going to rain, and she soldiered through with me through the second part of the tour which was rainy but that actually made it all the more the better, she actually even supplied me with a poncho and dry bag to keep my things dry. Although many guides would have called off the tour in the middle due to the incoming rain, she actually gave me an option to extend the tour to include a green area of the canal off of the Daugava River, while entertaining me with her great singing. I felt safe with her at all times, she was safety conscious and utterly hospitable about her great country of Latvia . She taught me a lot about the locality of Riga, the old historical town, some of the older architecture, and some of the new changes. Stef is rightly proud of her city and country. She is a natural at guiding and I do not hesitate to recommend her if one wants to have a good time on the water!

Riga from the water is something else - What an amazing experience kayaking st sunset in Rigas river and canals. A different perspective that givea just another flavor to your visit to Riga. The colors of the sunset and the city that starts to light up were incredible. Also we could eat dinner floating in the river ! What a relaxing and adventurous experience! Our guides were amazing and also took pics and videos of us !

Highly recommend - This was perfect for us..very easy to book. Clear WhatsApp communication. Loved that there were different routes you could choose from - and flexibility to combine them. We picked the medium 2.5-5 hour route and the operator messaged the link to a live map for that route which was incredibly helpful. Once you have your kayak you have it for up to 16 hours with no extra charges which means you aren't under any pressure and can find small places to stop and chill out if you wished, take a picnic, swim. Friendly, laid back, no frills welcome. Clear instructions. Highly recommend.

A nice activity to do in Riga - A very funny and interesting activity to do in Riga. The staff is so kind, the price is low and you have a lot of time to explore all the spots on your itinerary. Even if it’s self-guided, they explain really well what to do and it’s very easy to follow your itinerary directly on Google Maps. Very recommended!
