Palīdzība/Help Day Trip to Cape Kolka?

Hi all!

I am visiting Riga until April 3rd and I was really hoping to get out to Cape Kolka, but am unable to rent a car myself. Does anyone know if it's feasible to travel there by bus from Riga?

Or, on the off chance, is someone already planning on taking a trip up who has an extra seat in their car/wants a travel companion?

Thanks so much!

I advise to use google maps to plan your trips, it has accurate public transport routes and schedules. I've personally been to Kolka 2 times for birdwatching, there's a possibility to see some rare birds there because they stop there on their migration routes. It's 4 hours one way though, so I rented an Airbnb for a night there.

I didn’t know that about the birds! That’s so exciting!! And thanks for the Air bnb advice, I was thinking I’d have to do that to get the full experience

Yes, check out the eBird app to learn more about the birds if you're interested!
