Venice Lagoon Kayak: Secret Nature Escape & Wild Beauty

This an incredible way to experience Venice and a must-do if you have any paddling experience. Shamir was an excellent guide, and with the history he gave us it would be nearly worth the money if he was your guide on foot. Bring a small towel or a change of pants for the walk home, water will drip down the paddle and soak you. Tip to the tour operator: you should offer some kind of paper map/drawing of where people went. So good, don't miss, thanks Shamir!!

Being a group of avid kayakers, how could we pass up a chance to paddle Venice? We did a private tour with Shamir and it exceeded expectations in every way. He took us all our Venice, showing us the beauty of Venice at night while providing very interesting historical commentary. Boats were decent, scenery was unbelievable, and our guide was fabulous!

A very unique experience. It’s interesting to be in control of your own craft in the canals. The guides are super knowledgeable and tell you all about the history of Venice and point out unique buildings and features you might otherwise overlook like secluded palaces and boat works.

My mom and I didn't have much (or any) experience kayaking and our tour guide Shamir was very helpful and guided us along. We had a great time in the canals of Venice at night like the old days. Highly recommend!

We had a great night kayaking through Venice Canals with the Irish Pirate! My teens said it was the best experience on our whole trip! Thanks Venice Kayaks!!

I recommend this to all that are visiting Venice. A truly unique experience and perspective for travelling through the canals. Shamir (my guide) is very accommodating, knowledgable and friendly - he ensured everyone on the tour was comfortable and had some practice kayaking before launching into the tour.

This outing was a highlight of our two days in Venice! The opportunity to explore a network of canals at lagoon-level is a unique, beautiful and fun experience. Sharim was an excellent and informative guide, kayak seats were super comfy, bottled water, life jackets had zippered pouch to keep phones dry and secure, and we had headlamps and additional lights to ensure visibility to the other traffic on the canals. Loved the entire tour!

We loved getting a close-up view of the Venetian canals, and our guides were wonderful! Great experience for our family of four - thank you!

Shamir did an excellent job of telling us the history of Venice while doing a leisurely paddle of Venice. I highly recommend this unique view of the city

Our tour guide was amazing. So informative on the history of Venice and very patient with amateur family kayaking skills. And the sunset was beautiful. All in all it’s such a unique and fun way to explore Venice. Be prepared to get wet.
