A salt breeze and the steady creak of a wooden boardwalk set the scene as you step into Kemeri National Park, just an easy drive from Riga. Morning light filters through sparse pine as peatland opens to a distant observation tower; the bog seems alive, exhaling thin, cool mist that dares you to move closer.

A salt breeze and the steady creak of a wooden boardwalk set the scene as you step into Kemeri National Park, just an easy drive from Riga. Morning light filters through sparse pine as peatland opens to a distant observation tower; the bog seems alive, exhaling thin, cool mist that dares you to move closer.
Kemeri's bog boardwalk crosses acidic peatland that formed after the last Ice Age, leaving a flat landscape punctuated by pools, sphagnum mats and the park’s characteristic raised hummocks. The area once drew health seekers to its sulfur springs in the 19th century; nearby Jūrmala evolved as a seaside resort with wooden villas and a pedestrian heart on Jomas Street.
On this day tour you'll pair an easy, mostly flat boardwalk hike—roughly 3–4 km roundtrip depending on route—with a relaxed stroll through Jūrmala's main promenade and beach. Expect wooden walkways, interpretive signs, an observation platform with wide views over the bog, and the tidy commercial energy of Jomas Street: cafés, local crafts and wide sand beaches where the Baltic pushes and pulls at the shoreline.
Practical notes: the terrain on the boardwalk is level but can be wet and slippery; wear sturdy footwear and layers. Bring water, a rain shell, and a camera with a neutral-density mindset—open skies and low sunlight give dramatic light. Tours are private and limited to eight (seven with guide option), run about eight hours including transport from Riga, and are suitable for most fitness levels.
This pairing of peatland ecology and coastal culture offers a compact, sensory Latvian day that’s as much about quiet observation as it is about coastal strolls.
The typical boardwalk loop explored on day tours is about 3–4 km roundtrip with minimal elevation change and takes about 1–2 hours depending on stops.
Yes—parts of the route and the transportation are stroller-accessible, but some sections may be narrow; check with your operator about specific stroller access.
Guided and unguided options are offered; a guide adds local history and ecology context but is not required for experienced walkers.
Kemeri and Jūrmala are roughly 40–60 minutes from central Riga by car, depending on traffic and exact pickup location.
