Description :

**This tour takes place inside the Gauja National Park (Gaujas Nacionālais Parks).**

Meeting customers at their location (hotel, hostel, etc…) around 8:30 am. After breakfast, transfer to Gauja National Park (Gaujas Nacionālais Parks). This trip takes from 1:30 to 2 hours, depending on where the canoe begins.
A brunch will be served before the start of the boat. Water and snacks will be available during the trip.

We offer three options. A canoe trip can take:
– 2:30 hours from Jāņrāmis to Cēsis
– 5:00 hours from Cēsis to Līgatne
– 8:00 hours from Cēsis to Sigulda

If you choose the later option, the tour ends in Sigulda – place with various activities.

These calculations are approximate as they depend on the speed of the river’s flow, rate of rowing and weather conditions.

You can improvise stops to visit different places of interest while traveling.

At the end of the canoe trip, we return customers to their initial location.
