Kayaking and swimming in the lake

  • 5 / 5

This trip was excellent - a short trip outside of Rome centre you discover amazing scenery. The clear glistening waters of the volcanic lake were just stunning. We kayaked for a good couple of hours but the waters were calm so not too taxing. There was time for a beach stop and pizza. Our favourite trip of Rome

Super relaxed activity to do on a beautiful lake. So calming after a few days of busy Rome. Kayaking was easy and fun. Swimming was lovely. The pick was arranged smoothly. Really nice!

The activity was really fun, we were lucky enough to be the only three people in our group which made the experience even better as it was basically a private tour!
