Exploring Venice by kayak allows guests to immerse themselves in the iconic culture and cityscapes from a new perspective. Tofino Expeditions, a tour company offering worldwide kayaking tours, announced the new Venice Kayaking Tour for 2014.
The eight-day tour connects guests to the Venice Laguna that intertwines throughout Venice’s islands and canals. Initially, the islands helped defend against invaders, provide respite for the elite and isolate hazardous activities like gunpowder manufacturing.
Passengers can now explore the 212-square-mile Venice Laguna and its many islands, including on isolated 13th century monastery and another port dating back to Roman times. Participants will also learn to paddle a gondola at a rowing club on the Veneto, learn glass blowing on Murano and enjoy regional cuisine at local restaurants.
