Riga Historic Boat Tour with Audio Guide and Captain Stories

About this activity

See Riga from a different perspective on a relaxed boat ride through the historic canal and along the Daugava River.

As you cruise through the Riga Canal, you'll pass beautiful parks, charming bridges and historic buildings. See iconic landmarks like the Latvian National Opera, the Freedom Monument, and the UNESCO-listed Riga Central Market, one of Europe's largest and most lively markets.

Once you enter the Daugava River, you'll get a chance to see the other side of the city. Sail under the Akmens and Vanšu Bridges, pass by Riga Castle, and finish the journey back at Andrejosta.

The boat is historic, renovated and holds great value – just like Riga. We hope you will appreciate our work!

Families are welcome on this tour, and kids will enjoy the adventure of viewing Riga from the water. Pushchairs can be conveniently left at the port, ensuring a comfortable experience for everyone.
