The trip begins on the Daugava, then the Mīlgrāvis canal brings a change of scene: the port gives way to open lake. Marinas and waterside homes line parts of the journey.
Ķīšezers opens towards Mežaparks, reed beds and Jaunciems bay. Choose this route for more greenery and time to take it easy.
On a warm day, we can plan a swimming stop. The captain chooses a suitable spot for the conditions, and the stop counts towards your trip time. Bring your swimwear; we will agree the details together.
