About This Tour

A 13-day adventure across Latvia and Lithuania — hiking, biking, and kayaking through Gauja and Ķemeri National Parks, the Curonian Spit's sand dunes, Kuldīga and Liepāja, and the medieval castles of Trakai and Vilnius. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — Voyzo runs this route with your own private driver and vehicle instead of a rental car. The route itself spans two countries: seven nights in Latvia (Riga, Garkalne, Jūrmala, Ķemeri, Kuldīga, and Liepāja), then five nights in Lithuania (Nida on the Curonian Spit, Kaunas, and Vilnius) — every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day.
