A salt breeze carries cedar and sea-spray as the day begins in Jurmala, Latvia’s long ribbon of wooden villas and wide sand beaches. The private full-day trip moves slowly: a morning among low-slung fishing cottages at the open-air museum, a stroll along pedestrian streets that open onto the pale Baltic shore, then the hush of the Great Kemeri Bog boardwalk where the world narrows to moss, insect hum and sky.

History
Jurmala rose as a Baltic resort in the 19th century; nearby Kemeri developed as a spa and peat-bathing center fed by local springs and peat resources.
Conservation
The boardwalk limits trampling of peat ecosystems and channels visitors to reduce erosion; follow Leave No Trace principles and avoid off-boardwalk exploration to protect this sensitive habitat.
Reserve your spot on the Private Full-Day Trip to Jurmala and Great Kemeri Bog Boardwalk today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Stick to the boardwalk
The wooden trail protects fragile peatland—stay on the planks to avoid damaging plants and to stay dry.
Layer for changeable weather
Baltic coast conditions shift quickly; bring a light waterproof and a warm mid-layer even on sunny days.
Footwear matters
Closed, grippy walking shoes are best—some boardwalk sections and beach access can be slippery or sandy.
Bring insect repellent in summer
Mosquitoes and biting midges are common in wetlands from late spring through early autumn.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provide grip on damp boardwalks and sandy promenades.
