Cultural kayak tour in Venice 2h

Sustainable kayak tours and history of Venice

We invite you to discover Venice from a completely new perspective. You will be accompanied and guided on a wonderful adventure to discover secret and authentic views of the city.

The activities begin in one of the oldest and most historically important societies in the city: the Reale Società Canottieri Querini. Then we will paddle among the lagoon's birdlife; we will pass under the bridges and admire the facades of cathedrals and historic buildings.
