Full description

What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Venice, where our skipper will be waiting for us. After an initial welcome, we will board the boat and start the tour!
We will sail slowly, passing behind the island of Giudecca, which is located in the southernmost part of the Venetian lagoon. We will enter several canals and immerse ourselves in a very impressive natural setting, until we reach Sacca Sessola, the first of the islands that we will skirt and be able to admire from the boat. This is one of the largest and youngest in the entire lagoon.
Then we will stop at the magnificent islands of Santa Maria delle Grazie and San Clemente, before passing through some sandbanks, which create a unique landscape. Meanwhile, we will listen to the skipper who will tell us the history of these places.
Afterwards, we will return to our starting point by passing through the canals overlooking two other famous islands: San Servolo and San Giorgio, both close to the city's beautiful historic centre. The activity will last about 3 hours in total.
