Combining gentle kayaking with local history and nature, this guided eco-tour takes you beyond Venice's busiest sights to discover the quieter side of the lagoon. 📋 Key Details Duration: 4 hours (approx 2 hours of kayaking) Activity Type: Guided Kayak Tour Group Size: Maximum 10 participants (shared tour) - private tours available Equipment: Kayak, paddle and buoyancy aid included Guide: Licensed Local Guide Starting Location: Fondamente Nove, Venice ✨ Itinerary Highlights Travel by vaporetto to Sant'Erasmo before setting off by kayak across the northern Venetian Lagoon. Paddle through peaceful saltmarshes rich in birdlife, visit the colourful island of Burano, enjoy time to explore its picturesque streets and traditional treats, and continue towards the secluded island of San Francesco del Deserto before returning across one of Europe's most unique lagoon landscapes. 📍 Location This experience takes place in the northern Venetian Lagoon, beginning in Venice before travelling to Sant'Erasmo by public vaporetto. Unlike the city's famous canals, this area is characterised by open water, saltmarshes, small islands and quiet natural landscapes that are rarely explored by visitors. The kayaking route passes through protected lagoon environments before reaching Burano and the waters surrounding San Francesco del Deserto. Calm conditions and relatively sheltered waterways make this an excellent place to experience kayaking while discovering the ecological and historical importance of the Venetian Lagoon. ✅ Prerequisites This tour is suitable for beginners and experienced kayakers alike. Around two hours of paddling is spread throughout the experience at a relaxed pace, with regular opportunities to stop, explore and rest along the way. Participants should be comfortable taking part in moderate physical activity and should wear comfortable clothing suitable for getting close to the water. The experience is not wheelchair accessible. If you have sensory, cognitive or mobility requirements, please get in touch before booking so suitable arrangements can be discussed. ⭐ Why Choose Us Led by a licensed Venetian guide, this experience combines kayaking with local history, wildlife and island culture to provide a much deeper understanding of the lagoon than is possible from the city alone. You'll discover places th… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Licensed local tour guide Guided kayak tour through the Venetian Lagoon Kayak hire Ergonomic paddle Buoyancy aid Safety briefing and equipment introduction Meeting point in Venice at Fondamente Nove ### What’s not included Vaporetto (water bus) ticket to Sant'Erasmo Food and drinks Personal expenses Gratuities (optional) ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### In which languages is the tour available? This tour is available in English, German, Italian, and Spanish. ### How long does the tour last? The total duration is approximately 4 hours, including kayaking and short breaks. Paddling time is around 2 hours, depending on the group’s pace and weather conditions. ### Where is the meeting point? The meeting point is at Fondamente Nove in Venice, where we will take the Vaporetto to Sant’Erasmo. If you are already on Sant’Erasmo or Murano, we can arrange an alternative meeting point. If you are staying in Cavallino, Treporti, or Punta Sabbioni, you can reach the island directly from Treporti, without needing to come to Venice. ### Do I need previous kayaking experience? No prior kayaking experience is required, but it’s good if you have paddled before. The tour is beginner-friendly, and the guide will provide instructions and a safety briefing before we start. ### Do I need to be in good physical shape? You should be in good general health and comfortable in the water. Weight limit: 120 kg for men, 100 kg for women. You must fit into a kayak cockpit size of 80 cm (length) x 40 cm (width). People with serious disabilities and pregnant women beyond the third month cannot participate for safety reasons. ### What should I wear and bring? Wear comfortable sports clothing (preferably synthetic or wool, not cotton) and dress appropriately for the weather. Bring sport shoes, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a bottle of water. A waterproof phone case is essential. If you don’t have one, let us know in advance, and the guide can provide one. Avoid bulky backpacks, valuables, or items that could be damaged by saltwater. ### What happens if it rains? The tour runs in light rain. If the conditions are unsafe due to heavy rain, wind, or storms, the tour will be canceled or rescheduled. ### What happens if the tides are too high or too low? If very high or very low tides make the planned route impractical, we will take an alternative but equally fascinating itinerary, such as Sant’Andrea Fortress and Isola delle Vignole. ### Will we have free time on Burano? Yes, you will have a short break to explore Burano and, if you wish, try local specialties like bussolai cookies. ### Are food and drinks included? No, food and drinks are not included in the tour price. ### Is this tour suitable for children? No, this tour is only for teenagers (12 years and older) and adults. ### Are water bus tickets included in the tour price? No, ACTV Vaporetto tickets are not included. We recommend purchasing ACTV daily passes for convenience. ### Can we use a tandem kayak (two people in one kayak)? No, each participant will have their own kayak, as it is safer and ensures better control during the experience. ### What happens if I arrive late? Since the water bus to Sant’Erasmo runs only once per hour, arriving late means missing the boat. For shared group tours, this means missing the tour entirely. For private tours, the itinerary will be adjusted, and the experience may be shortened. ### Can I stay on Sant’Erasmo after the tour? Yes! You are welcome to stay longer on the island and enjoy lunch, aperitivo, or dinner at a local restaurant overlooking the lagoon. ### Can I bring my own kayak? No, this tour includes high-quality kayaks and equipment, ensuring safety and comfort. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-08-at-16.54.28.png - **Gallery image count**: 7 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
