Trip Itinerary

Day 1: Pick-up
Take a good breakfast, pack your snack pack and meet your guide at your hotel in Riga. Get ready for about three hours drive. Don’t worry we’ll stop for a coffe break or two on our way
Day 1: Gided Kayaking on Lakes
Start your kayaking adventure in some of the most beautiful lakes of Eastern Latvia – Latgale. Cross several secluded lakes in a single trip. Each lake has its different landscape and character. Enjoy amazing calm waters of the lakes, pristine forests, wildernes, and while, and yellow water roses on your way. Some lakes are connected with the small rivers, in some places, you will have to carry your kayak a hundred meters or so to get from one lake to another, which is all part of the adventure. Depending on your skill level you can choose a relaxing 12 km (7,5 miles) or a more serious 20 km (12.5 miles) kayaking distance today.
Day 1: Overnight at the lake
End up your first kayaking day in a guesthouse on the banks of one of the biggest and most beautiful lakes in Latvia – Rušons. Enjoy the famous Latgalian hospitality and have a local dinner prepared for you. Try out “šmakovka” – the local home-brewed alcoholic drink. Enjoy a very special Latvian black sauna (if such an option is selected). Take a summer evening dip in the warm waters of the lake and enjoy the magnificent sunset being right in the heart of untouched Latvian-Latgalian nature.
Day 2: Continue With Guided Kayaking on Lakes
Have a filling local breakfast and get ready to continue your exciting kayaking adventure today. Visit and admire the beautiful lake islands overgrown with dense forests. Have a short hike on one of the most beautiful islands. Continue to the next lake and get the gorgeous lake views of the famous Aglona Basilica – an important pilgrimage site for Catholics. Today you’ll do around 18 km (11 miles) of kayaking.
Day 2: Visit Basilica of Aglona
Visit the famous Aglona Roman Catholic Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is one of the most important Catholic spiritual centers in Latvia and also one of the most beautiful places to visit when you are in Latgale. And, yes, it is also near another beautiful lake.
