About this kayak tour

As the sun sets and the lights of Venice flicker on across the water, the city takes on a completely different character. This evening paddle is romantic, atmospheric and unforgettable.

Your guide leads you through illuminated canals and out to see the reflections dance across the lagoon. It's a favourite for couples and anyone wanting to see a magical, quieter side of Venice.

No experience is needed — the kayaks are stable and easy to handle, safety equipment and full instruction are included, and there are changing facilities for when you get back.

Common questions

Do I need any kayaking experience?

No. The kayaks we use are sit-on-top, very stable and easy to use, and your guide gives full instruction before you set off. Our tours are suitable for complete beginners.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a little splashed, and bring sunglasses, sun cream and a hat in warmer months. We provide changing facilities so you can change back into dry clothes when you return.

How long do the tours last?

Our standard day and night tours last around 100 minutes on the water, plus a short briefing beforehand. The Quick Bite tour is a shorter 60-minute paddle.

Where do the tours start?

Tours depart from our base at Calle Brazzo, 3347, 30121 Venezia. We'll send you exact meeting details when you book.
