Venice Kayak is an amazing experience in Venice! Starting from a beach in Certosa’s Island, then around Venetian Arsenal, I felt like in a Canaletto’s painting: historical! Then, paddling in little canals, I saw venetians get out home by boat: crazies! Most of little canals are forbidden to motor boat, so only rowboats and gondolas admitted: nice! Tourists takes more...

I *loved* the idea of kayaking through the beautiful canals of Venice, and was soooo excited to try this despite the high price tag. So much better than a gondola!

I first experienced Venice in a week long stay in 2009. It was magic, and like most people who visit, I fell in love with the place. But there was a feeling of something missing. The missing element was not being able to to truly experience the canals, which are the essence of Venice. Then I discovered VeniceKayak and the... More

By far, my day paddle with Venice Kayak was the best experience I've ever had. A friend of mine found them online and we planned our week long Italy trip around this one activity. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable, personable, and a ton of fun. We paddled all over, but I won't ever forget paddling behind the music institute. We... More
