Full description
Venice by night is something else entirely.
You have to experience it for yourself, by taking part in our night kayak tour: in the company of a guide, you will venture into the darkness letting yourself be guided by the illuminations of the Cannaregio sestriere. There will be no shortage of stories and curiosities, to get to know the city better in its evening guise.
An excursion of almost 2 hours, paddling through the night.
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Venice. We will be welcomed by the guide who will accompany us on this nocturnal adventure!
Having gathered all the participants, theequipment will be handed over and a briefing of about 10 minutes on how to use the kayak will take place. One at a time and with the support of the guide, we will then enter the water to start getting familiar with the kayak and practise changing direction.
Paddle in hand and kayak 'lit up', we will be ready to venture into the darkness of Venice's canals: we will paddle through the Cannaregio sestriere until we reach Fondamenta Nove, heading out into the open lagoon to try and spot theIsland of San Michele on the horizon. We will proceed at a leisurely pace, to better admire the city in its evening guise; all enriched by stories and curiosities about Venice, which will add atmosphere to the already suggestive night.
We will finally return to the meeting point, paddling through the canals of Cannaregio. The kayak excursion will last 1 hour and 40 minutes; the total experience will last 2 hours.
