About this kayak tour

The Quick Bite is for travellers who want to experience Venice from the water without committing a whole morning or evening. In one packed hour you'll paddle among the canals with an expert local guide, born and raised in Venice.

It's the perfect introduction: enough time to get comfortable in the kayak, slip under a few bridges and see a side of the city most visitors never do — and it fits neatly into any itinerary.

As with all our tours, the kayaks are stable sit-on-tops, full instruction and safety equipment are included, and no experience is needed.

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.
