About this experience

Experience the magic of sunrise as you paddle through the serene waters of Cenas Tīrelis bog lake on a paddleboard. This peaceful adventure offers a unique way to connect with nature as the first light of day reflects off the still waters.

The adventure begins with a transfer to Cenas Tīrelis. Upon arrival, you will receive a safety briefing and instructions on how to navigate your paddleboard.

Start time may vary depending on the season. You will arrive at the location before sunrise to experience the most beautiful moments on the water. Detailed pick-up and start times will be provided the day before your tour.

IMPORANT! It is not possible to drive to the swamp lake, so each person must carry their paddleboard equipment (in a special backpack) to and from the starting point (2 km each way).
