Glide through the waters of Lake Garda, navigating along the coast of the Sirmione peninsula. The Garda mountains serve as your backdrop, the historic town of Sirmione as your foreground.
What to expect:
Upon arrival, we will unload our kayaks and have a few minutes to stop at the nearby cafe if you wish to grab a quick coffee, change clothing, or use the restroom. Each participant will be provided with a dry bag to carry essentials. It is not recommended to leave any valuables in the van.
After an introduction to paddling and setting up our boats we'll head out on the open water. Approximately 1.5-2 hours into paddling we'll reach our lunch destination. We'll reserve a table at a restaurant overlooking the water, though you can choose to pack a lunch or find something else, as lunch is not included in the price. Following our lunch break we'll hop back in the boats for our final hour of paddling featuring some of the most memorable sights of the trip. Arriving back at our van, we'll load up the boats, get changed into dry clothing, and make our return to Vicenza.
For this trip we use sit-on-top kayaks. These kayaks are stable, easy to paddle, and perfect for jumping into the water to cool off.
A note on weather: Typically the weather at this time of year is warm and sunny, though it's still possible to have a rainy day. We will plan to paddle unless the conditions are dangerous to do so (for example thunderstorms or high winds). We will provide updates on the weather prior to the trip.
