Description

Set off on an unforgettable adventure that will allow you to experience Venice from a completely new, authentic, and deeply sustainable perspective. This kayak day trip from Burano is the perfect opportunity to leave the historic center behind and immerse yourself in the natural and peaceful side of the lagoon, paddling through a unique wetland ecosystem. It is a way to practice outdoor sports in an exceptional natural setting, discovering a side of Venice still unknown to mass tourism. Your experience will begin in the **canals of colorful Burano**, a veritable 'Venice in miniature,' historically an outpost of skilled fishermen. The magic of paddling among its colorful houses is comparable to that of the canals of Venice, but with one crucial advantage: **there are none of the dangers of the traffic on the Grand Canal**. You can admire Burano from the water, an intimate and privileged viewpoint that few are lucky enough to experience. With little effort, you will soon find yourself surrounded by **immense and little-known nature**, leaving behind the confusion and noise of motorboats to immerse yourself in **the silence and peaceful sounds of nature**. You will be guided by **Filippo, a super friendly, passionate, and expert tour guide** who was born and raised in these places. Filippo will provide you with **wonderful** and in-depth explanations, revealing the peculiarities of this **fragile environment, suspended between land and sea**, and helping you understand the delicate interaction between man and nature that has shaped these places for centuries. As you continue, your kayak, a **lightweight, flat-bottomed** boat, will allow you to venture into **areas otherwise inaccessible** to motorboats, passing along shallow channels. You will venture among the **ghebi and barene**, the fascinating islands that emerge with their vegetation only at low tide. Among these 'freaks of nature,' you will be able to glimpse a rich local fauna, such as **herons, cormorants, and egrets**, and you will have the opportunity to meet the **moeche fishermen** (crabs in the molting phase), witnessing a centuries-old activity in harmony with the environment. Discovering this lagoon ecosystem, the barene*, will be a unique experience. It is the same ecosystem on which the stilts supporting the towns of Venice and Burano rest, making the experience a true **indissoluble intertwining of city and natural environment**. This trip is a **unique opportunity** to get to know the true nature that surrounds Venice, far from the usual tourist routes. Kayaks are **easy to maneuver**, even for those who are not particularly experienced in this sport. This kayak tour is a **100% sustainable and respectful** choice for this enchanted ecosystem, offering an authentic point of view and an unforgettable experience.
