Enjoyable tour of a unique environment! Rolands was the perfect person to guide us in this interesting and special place, very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to spend time with. His passion for nature and conservation really shone through. Also it was nice to have a tour that didn't take the full day for a change, too. Rolands was great with ideas and suggestions for our visit to Latvia in general as well. We learned a lot and had a fun time doing it!

Kemeri e Jurmala Rolands, special guide!
Funny, chatting, competent and skilled Biologist and al last but not least, undestanding like few others.
He taught me a lot during the wonderful tour of the bog, explaining in simple and concise words.
Absolutely recommended!

Tours in Kemeri and Gauja We booked two private tours from Riga in consecutive days: one to Kemeri and one to Gauja. Both are highly recommended, if you wish to go out of Riga and experience some of Latvia’s wonderful national parks but don’t have much time. The organisation was perfect and we felt in safe and capable hands at all moments. Our guide, Rolandts, is very knowledgeable about the various ecosystems we visited and a passionate environmentalist. He is a great conversionalist and fun to be with. We learnt a lot about Latvia’s history and culture from him.

Absolutely recommended tour We had booked a private tour in the Kemeri bog national park. Pickup from our accomodation in Riga went perfectly. Our guide Rolands was not only very knowledgable about every aspect of the ecosystem in the national park but could also answer all of our questions regarding Latvia's nature. Besides that he also was witty and had some nice jokes so time was passing by very fast. The walk in the wetlands itself was absolutely unique. No people, absolutely quiet and peaceful, and exploring the fascinating ecosystem was giving us lots of insight on why areas like that are vital to nature. We can only absolutely recommend taking that walk!

Incredible Day in Nature A huge thank you to Rolands, our knowledgeable, professional and witty guide. We appreciated his deep local and academic knowledge of his beautiful countryside. His personal perspective on conservation, history and culture made us really fall in love with Latvia. Exploring the nature after days in the city Riga helped us understand Latvians.

Winter wonderland We did this tour with Rolands who has a background in nature conservation and who is very knowledgeable about different trees and ecosystems. He was very friendly and paced the walking to our speed.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Latvia as it shows the differences between two major ecosystems in Latvia : bogs and swamplands. It was great to disconnect from the city and breath in the pure air of the countryside (even the sulphur smelling air of the swampland!!)
Our trip was on New Year’s Eve and we were very fortunate to have the sun in the sky and perfect snow all around us. It was like being in a winter wonderland.
This is the kind of tour that could be done several times as the different seasons will each add something new to the experience.

Thanks to Rolands for the explanations and the beautiful photos he took of us.

Beautiful day trip It was an amazing experience, great views, beautiful river and forest. Very friendly guide! Definitely recommended to any nature enthusiast!

We had an amazing experience: Dolev Galski We had an amazing experience exploring Kemeri National Park. Our guide, Rolands, was fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting information about the different ecosystems we visited. We also had enjoyable conversations about Latvia and life in general.
The scenery in the park was beautiful, especially the bog area, which had a unique, almost otherworldly atmosphere. We were able to see all three types of wetlands as well as the Baltic Sea shoreline.
The picnic lunch that Rolands prepared was delicious and included a nice selection of local food and drinks.
Overall, I highly recommend the “Best of Kemeri National Park in One Day” tour to anyone interested in nature and learning more about Latvia.

Beautiful hike through the Nature of Latvia! Rolands was an absolute delight and an exceptional guide! Really enjoyed the whole experience and seeing the nature aspects of Latvia! This is a great 1/2 day adventure to round out a visit to Riga!
