Overview

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.

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.
