Full description

You will have happened to visit the Borromean Islands. And on reaching them by motorboat, you will have noticed a group of people in a canoe.

That's us! You too can be part of it by taking part in our canoe tour: leaving from Stresa or Baveno, you will paddle toIsola Bella until you reachIsola dei Pescatori for a guided walk.

A3-hour experience, navigating the waters of Lake Maggiore.

What we will do

The appointment is 10 minutes before 09:30 at the meeting point in Stresa or Baveno (VB). We will be welcomed by the guide who will accompany us on this canoeing adventure on Lake Maggiore!

Once all the participants have gathered, a briefing lasting about 15 minutes will take place during which we will be given all the information we need to carry out the experience. We will then board our Canadian canoe, a boat with 3 passenger seats and 1 seat for the guide.

Ready to paddle in the waters of Lake Maggiore, we will skirtIsola Bella and pass by the Scoglio della Malghera. We will then reachIsola dei Pescatori (Fishermen's Island), on which we will land for a walking tour: we will stroll through the characteristic alleys and visit the Fishing Museum, listening to the guide's stories. During the 30-minute shore break , we will also have time to refresh ourselves with an ice cream or an aperitif (not included) at our leisure.

We will return on board the canoe and finally return to the meeting point. The experience will last a total of 3 hours.
