Right from the outset Roland was brilliantly informative and knowledgable. We were picked up from our hotel in Riga which made for a nice and easy start to the day. On journey to the first site, The Bog, Roland was wonderfully enthusiastic and insightful about Latvian nature and culture.
The Bog was awesome. What a great experience to be able to walk across part of the bog via the boardwalks and to hear about the formation of the bog, the conservation and the plant species throughout the seasons. Hearing the noisy cranes in the background was an added bonus (hope we see them next time).
We then headed on to the Lagoon. What a treat to hear the booming Bitterns as we explored the lagoon and heard about the bird life and conservation. The floating walkway over the lagoon was great fun.
My favourite lunch of our visit to Latvia was on this trip, where Roland shared traditional Latvian picnic food. I am pleased to have ticked the cottage cheese sweet off my to try list. It was strange but good.
We then headed to the Gulf of Riga. What an amazing surprise. I had not imagined such a beautiful coastline with pristine white sands, a calm blue sea and the backdrop of a mossy pine forest. Pure magic.
I am so glad that we took this trip and got to see a small part of Latvia’s countryside. It has given us to the taste to want to return and explore more. What really made this trip special was the wonderful knowledge of Roland, his great enthusiasm for Latvia’s nature and culture and his easy going and very good humoured approach.
Latvia is truly a hidden gem with so much more to explore than Riga.
Thank you Roland for a fab introduction to your beautiful country. We will be back!
I'm seriously considering returning to Latvia just to take another one of his tours, especially to explore the west coast. If you're planning a trip to Latvia, I highly recommend booking a tour with Roland!!
The tour was wonderful not only for his knowledge but of his personality also.
Good luck Ronald and I would like to mention that your chicken was excellent with rye bread.
We learned a lot, visiting the highlights of Ķemeri National Park: the bog boardwalk, black alder swamp forest, Kaņieris lake (fens) and then the long, sweeping beach at Slow Mile, fringed with rare pine-wooded dune habitat.
Rolands provided an excelkent lunch of local Latvian snacks: black bread, cream-cheese, kvass and smoked chicken.
