Tandem Skydive
You have seen the film Point Break – now it is your turn to push yourself to the limits and experience the rush of a 40 second freefall. We leave Riga in the morning, fly you to 10,000 feet and then it's up to you to jump!
Soviet Prison Experience
Karosta, a name feared by many for over a century! Karosta hosted one of the biggest former Soviet military base but was also used a jail for dissidents. This huge complex of concrete apartment blocks and barracks was sealed to the public for decades. Riga Out There will lock you up just for the time of the visit!

Testimonials
The trip was wonderful. The time in Riga was far too short. The guide was good and the driver was adorable. We are glad we went all the way out to see the two sites that very few people see.
Thank you
