What we will do
We will meet 15 minutes before the selected time in Dolo (VE) . Awaiting us will be the guide who will accompany us during the excursion and provide us with life jackets and paddleboards.
We will start with a briefing of about 30 minutes, during which we will learn how to get on and off the dragonboat and the basics of paddling. Once ready, we will start our adventure on the Naviglio del Brenta. The first stop will be the historic centre of Dolo, which we will be able to admire from the water or from land, depending on our preference. Here we will discover the Squero di Dolo, the ancient monumental shipyard where the boats passing along the Brenta used to find shelter.
We will then continue along the Naviglio, skirting some famous Venetian villas: the guide will tell us curiosities, anecdotes and stories linked to these elegant buildings. The third and final stage will be the final stretch of the park culminating in the nautical pole. Finally, we will conclude the excursion by returning to the starting point.
