Details
Let yourself be swept away by the timeless charm of Lake Garda with a boat trip on board our Venetian-style wooden boats!
You can choose whether to leave from Gardone Riviera or Salò. Our captain will first bring you to discover Isola del Garda, known for being a land where art, history and nature come together to create breathtaking scenery. Once there, we can admire the panorama of the island, enhanced by the Venetian Neo-Gothic architecture of Villa Borghese Cavazza. The navigation will continue in the direction of the Island of San Biagio, also known as the Island of Rabbits, due to the presence of these little animals in the area! As we continue, we will reach the promontory of the Rocca di Manerba, one of the most evocative protected areas of the Lake Garda area.
Among the most suggestive stops on our excursion will be the medieval village of Sirmione, on which stands the Scaliger Castle, known to be one of the best-preserved fortresses in Italy, as well as an extraordinary example of lake fortification. Finally, we will sail along the Gardesana coast towards Punta San Vigilio, where we can catch the historic residence of Villa Canossa. After about four hours, we will return to the port of departure.
If you wish, you may arrange with the captain swimming stops and shore walking tours at locations of your choice during the boat trip.
