Venice Kayak

Venice is the most spectacular city in the world, unique in every conceivable way. There is no other place like it, with similar atmosphere, history, tradition, food and splendour.

Venice is the daughter of the lagoon like Venus of the sea. In Venice boats mean more than cars, canals more than roads, and the only way one can say to have experienced the real Venice, is to have meandered the canals of the city and the lagoon by boat, and what better way to do that than by kayak.

Venice Kayak offers kayaking day trips in the city and in the lagoon. We’ll paddle with gondolas in Canal Grande and roam the smaller canals, stopping in little squares for lunch. We’ll organise evening paddles through the city after a dinner in the lagoon. We’ll paddle to Murano to see the glassworks, and further around the lagoon to Burano and Torcello. We’ll visit a traditional gondola shipyard and we might even do a voga alla veneta tryout, rowing like a gondolier.

Venice Kayak can cater for groups of 2-5 participants for day trips on short notice, and up to 12 participants on longer notice.  We can help organise complete kayaking holidays in Venice for groups up to 12 persons for a week or more. We’ll pick the group up in the airport, organise kayak friendly camping or hotel, provide kayaking gear and guides, and help you plan you time on land as well.

Venice Kayak is based on the Lido, 30 minutes paddle from St. Mark’s, 1km from the beach and with everything the Lido can offer within walking distance.
