“We had a fantastic time on the Husky Dog Sledding Tour from Riga! A huge shout-out to Ilze and her team, who did an absolutely amazing job and made us feel welcome right away. Even though there was no snow, the ride on wheels was still a lot of fun – exciting, well organized, and a great experience with the huskies. The dogs were full of energy and clearly very well taken care of. What we especially appreciated was how flexible the team was with pickup and drop-off, which made the whole trip super easy and stress-free for our group.

2.Ultimate Husky dog sledding experience in Latvia – Private tour from Riga

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 45 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $168

Ride huskies through a Latvian forest from Riga, with hotel pickup, friendly guides, forest views, and a no-snow bike-kart option.

“We were collected by Gints from our accommodation in Riga. The journey time was a leisurely 40 minutes into the countryside, where we met up with the dogs. They were really friendly, well looked after, ready and eager to be harnessed up to the sleds. Being Spring, the snow had gone, so the sleds had wheels on, like an elongated trike! We took turns in being the Musher and the passenger. Great fun and afterwards had a walk out to a fire watch tower. Fantastic views from the top. The trip was well organised, fun and we got to see the beautiful forests.”

4.Latvia Bobsleigh and luge track ride experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $130Best value

Race Sigulda’s winter bobsleigh track from Riga with private transfers, a pilot-led ride, and sightseeing in Sigulda and Turaida.

“So much fun and something different to do aside from the must see old town. My driver, Vadim, was wonderful and full of information about Riga and pointed out things on the ride to the bobsled. It’s about an hour out of the city and a fast ride on the bobsled track, all of which was cleared stated in the tour description. I thought it was totally worth it and like I said, a lot of fun.”

5.Bobsleigh – Truly Unique Winter Adventure!

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 6 reviews · from $168

Race Riga’s purpose-built bobsleigh track at up to 80 km/h with a qualified driver, hotel pickup, and a private three-hour adventure.

“Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Just one thing I would do differently… after a long time of driving one quick trip down the bobsled track was too fast. Really should have been at least two trips down. Would have made it more worthwhile and entertaining. The first ride to know what to expect and the second to enjoy.”
