Description

Escape the hustle and bustle of Venice city center and discover the quieter side of the lagoon with the Gibigiana project. In Venetian, the gibigiana is the magical play of light that dances on the water when the sun reflects and bounces off the surface. On this sunset cruise, you will not only see Venice, but you will sail among its reflections. Hop aboard an authentic Venetian topo, a timeless traditional boat once used for the transportation of goods and now a symbol of the local maritime heritage. Thanks to the low hull and stable sailing, you will feel close to the water as you glide gently through hidden canals and the natural landscapes of the lagoon, including the barene (brackish marshes) and quieter waterways, far from the busiest tourist routes. As the sun dips toward the horizon, the lagoon transforms. The skyline of Venice changes color and atmosphere, and the surrounding islands light up with shades of orange and purple: an ideal setting for unforgettable photos and a slower, more intimate pace. The focus is on the atmosphere: silence, water, and light, with a route designed to show the lagoon in its most cinematic form. To ensure the quality of the service and adherence to schedules, the experience follows a pre-established itinerary and includes a mandatory drop-off at the departure pier with the guide. It is not possible to disembark and stay on the islands beyond the scheduled visit time.
