Activity description

Join this kayak lesson and learn kayaking from a professional instructor in the enchanting atmosphere of Venice! Designed for beginners, ages 12 and up.

If you have always wanted to learn how to kayak, there is no better place than Venice. The city is known for its architecture, canals and stunning landscapes, but it also has a long rowing tradition. With a professional instructor, you'll practice kayaking during a complete 1-hour lesson in Venice. 

Your instructor will meet you at the kayaking base and hand you the equipment. During this lesson, you'll go through a theoretical part at the base, where they'll show you how to use the equipment and how to paddle. Then, you'll get in the water and explore some of Venice's highlights, like the Arsenal and the lagoon. At the end of this fun-filled 1-hour lesson, your instructor will lead you back to their base.

If you wish to make this kayaking experience longer, you can pair this beginner lesson with a guided kayaking tour in the Venitian Lagoon and make the most of your stay in Venice!

Book your spot on this beginner lesson and learn how to kayak in the magical Venice with a professional instructor!
