Overview

This discovery tour by kayak will take you to key historic zones in the Venetian Lagoon: paddle around the lagoon islands of Sant'Erasmo and Vignole, known as the "vegetable gardens" of Venice; discover the Sant'Andrea fort built to protect Venice from its enemies; learn where the word "quarantine" was born on the island of Lazzaretto nuovo; relax on the secret hidden natural spot of the island of Certosa and enjoy the skyline of Venice from a privileged perspective.

Itinerary

This discovery tour by Kayak is easy to handle and not too tiring. We will meet in Venice and reach together Sant'Erasmo island by water bus.
Before starting the guided kayak tour, you will be informed about kayak manoeuvring techniques, safety and rules of navigation in the lagoon.
As we paddle our kayaks we will reach several lagoon islands through the salt marshes and in the company of the wildlife in the lagoon.
We will stop several times to admire the nature and some hidden spots you can reach only by kayak while hearing stories about people still living on these islands and historical explanation about each place.
The main attraction we will visit together will be on Sant’Andrea island, which hosts a 16th-century fortress in the middle of the lagoon, a magnificent defensive infrastructure you can only reach by small private boats or kayaks.
We will visit all these hidden gems that only locals know from a very special point of view, directly in contact with nature. Kayaking in the lagoon also means to discover the intimate part of Venice, the most hidden and beautiful places, without any negative environmental impact.

Had a tour in the morning, we were only 4 people and our guide gave us a wonderful tour. We got to know a bit about the less touristy islands which we didn’t even know. Even tho kayaking for 3 hours is very exhausting, we had a great time and it was really magnificent :)

This was a truly unique experience. My wife and I have kayaked in other countries but this was the most interesting. We got to see a part of venice that we would have completely missed. The lagoon is part of venice that too many tourists don't see and it's a pity as it's such a natural wonder. Valerio was a fantastic guide. He helped us understand the launching point at St Erasmo, which is incredible all in of itself, and then safely guided us in the kayak tour around the island to beautiful hidden spots and finally to a beautiful locals only beach. Valerio is a must to book as a guide if you want to see more of Venice than just San Marcos square!
