Additional Information
Our tour is a unique way to see the local Venice away from all the crowds. We explore areas that provide both a historical and modern perspective about Venice. Every Venice Kayak tour starts from our base in Cannaregio. Your guide will brief you on the route and safety procedures. Then, guests will be led to the gear where we have sun hats, dry bags, life vests, gloves and wet suits to help make your kayaking more comfortable. Once we are suited up you will be led to the kayaks where your professionally certified guide will give you a few lessons on kayaking properly through Venice. Once the guide sees you are set, it is time to go inside Venice to explore some truly hidden places. Throughout the tour your guide will take pictures so that you can remember the experience forever.
- On certain dates, most travelers staying outside of Venice who are planning to visit for the day will be required to pay a €5 access fee. For further details (including exemptions) and to learn what days this fee is applicable, please visit: https://cda.ve.it

Venice in a whole new way - A very different way to see Venice and a very different way to kayak. The tour takes you to places tourists don’t see, in terrific kayaks that will please both beginners and more experienced paddlers. (They are very comfortable, stable and nimble sit-in boats). It’s urban kayaking at its best. Our guide, Alberto, was terrific too.

Must do while in Venice! - We loved this experience! It was so much fun and we had a great guide! We decided to do this tour on a whim and I am so glad we did. They provided everything we needed (we were not necessarily prepared) and it was awesome!

Best experience I had in Venice! - I loved this tour! JP was so welcoming, and our guide Alberto was caring of the group, and gave interesting historical information along the way. I'm so appreciative of the photos he took, as well as the celebratory prosecco at trip's end! Grazie mille to all the team for a wonderful experience, seeing a quieter part of Venezia from the water. 11 out of 10!

Visiting Venice by kayak is amazing! - Great kayaking experience to visit Venice! A very friendly team who welcomes you and puts you at ease. You are a beginner and you will succeed with the professional and confident supervision of the guide who will tell you a thousand and one stories about Venice. Plus he takes photos for us: Topppissime! I'll come back for sure.

Incredible - This was one of the coolest things I've ever done. Being able to go through the Venice canals and see things that you would not ordinarily see when you visit there was incredible. Massimo taught us a lot about the history as well, I would definitely recommend doing this if you are in Venice

Amazing canals kayak tour with kids - We booked the canals kayak tour with our kids aged 7 and 9. We went in two tandem kayaks, along with another family who also had two kids.
We are not experienced kayakers but all loved this tour and the great guide who was very patient, engaging and friendly.
It was such an amazing way to see Venice and one we will never forget! I would love to do it again. The kids said it was their absolute favourite part of the trip :-). Highly recommended.

A fantastic experience making memories with our children - We had a fantastic time kayaking through the canals of Venice. Our children (aged 14 & 11) loved it, especially after spending so much time walking! Mike was really knowledgeable and I felt really comfortable knowing he was in charge of us crossing the larger waterways. It was really safe, lots of fun and something different and awesome to do. I really couldn’t recommend this enough as something different and memorable to do!

Experience of a Lifetime for a Venice Lover! - This was my second trip to Venice and we wanted to do something different with our teenage sons. This experience fit the bill and far exceeded our expectations. We had only kayaked once about 10 years ago but our tour guide, Mike, took the time to explain everything we needed to know. We got there early and the director, J.P, could not have been nicer and even gave us water and cookies while we waited. Mike took us into the canals and shared so much information about the history of Venice. Maybe even more interesting to me was his stories about living in Venice. He was super patient with all of us as we went along. He took almost 200 pictures of our group and within minutes of returning the Dropbox link was sent to us. I could not recommend this more. We’ll worth the money!!!
