Have you heard of the famous Great Ķemeri Bog boardwalk? Well, if you’re up for something more adventurous, try exploring the bog in bog shoes. These shoes are perfect for reaching inaccessible areas and walking on the floating vegetation. You’ll immerse yourself in the unique raised bog habitat, experiencing a lifetime adventure. This tour skips the boardwalks - you’ll walk right on the floating vegetation to reach the heart of the bog. Discover natural spots where locals pick cranberries and enjoy solitude with pristine nature. Disconnect from civilization for a few hours, venturing into secluded areas. Your bog shoes and knowledgeable tour guide will keep you afloat.
- The total duration of the tour (around 5 hours) includes the transfer time from Riga and Jūrmala, which is approx. 45 minutes one way from Riga and 15 minutes from Jurmala.
