Riga Kayaking Tour
Overview
Riga from water will show you the city from a different angle. We kayak river Daugava and Riga city canal during the late evening when city life calms down and other face of Riga can be discovered.
If you’re looking for a completely different way to see the city then we are here to help. Yes it is true, Riga has a Beaver problem! They are friendly enough – just try not to hit them with your paddles!

What To Expect
The canal system in Riga was first built as a defensive feature beyond the cities walls and ramparts. By the end of the 1800s the cities wall had been pulled down and the canals were landscaped to fit into the grand parks that encircle Old Riga. If you are lucky you will also bump into some of the lesser known of Riga’s residents – The Beavers!
In some cases, particularly during peak booking periods, the activity start time may be subject to change. Any adjustment will be communicated in advance and confirmed with you to ensure it works for your schedule.
