We had a fantastic day and learnt so much about the raised bog, floodplain forest, Lake Kanieris and the Gulf of Riga. Roland was the perfect guide with his great knowledge of nature, conservation and Latvia, as well as being enthusiastic and fun. It was an extremely hot day and Roland made sure we were coping ok with the heat and regularly offered us water to top up our water bottles.
A few of the birds we saw included a Bittern, Great White Egret, and Marsh Harriers as well as plenty of different flora in the different habitats we visited.
The Latvian picnic lunch was amazing. Traditional Latvian food and drink. Roland catered well for all the group, and as vegetarians we were not disappointed with the lunch he provided.
We were in a small group of 7 and Roland took plenty of photos which he sent to us later that day. A truly amazing and enjoyable experience! If we return to Latvia, we will certainly take another tour with Roland.
