Why Us

Our goal and our company

At Real Venetian Kayak, we are deeply passionate about Venice and committed to promoting sustainable tourism. Our city is a fragile, irreplaceable treasure, and it deserves to be explored in a way that respects its unique heritage and delicate ecosystem. Kayaking in Venice allows you to discover its most intimate, hidden corners—off-the-beaten-path canals, tranquil waterways, and stunning architecture—without leaving any environmental impact.

Venice has captivated travelers from all over the world for centuries. What sets it apart is not only its historic palaces and rich cultural heritage but also the way it lives in harmony with the water of the lagoon. The Venetian canals are much more than a picturesque backdrop; they represent a living connection between the city and its natural environment, a relationship that has thrived for over a thousand years. Kayak Venice and you’ll experience this bond firsthand, paddling through the very heart of the city as Venetians have for centuries.

When you join us for a Venice kayak tour, you’re not just sightseeing—you’re immersing yourself in the authentic Venetian way of life. From the quieter, less-explored Cannaregio canals to the beautiful hidden corners of the Venetian lagoon, you’ll be guided by passionate locals who truly understand the city and its water-bound history.

Founded in March 2015, Real Venetian Kayak has always been dedicated to offering an eco-friendly and culturally rich experience. In 2016, we expanded our team, selecting people who, like us, are deeply in love with Venice and its preservation. Each of our guides is a native Venetian, offering insights and stories that only a true local can provide.

With Real Venetian Kayak, you’ll see Venice from a whole new perspective—immersed in its natural beauty, while preserving the delicate environment that makes this city so special. Whether you’re on a Venice kayak tour through the historic canals or paddling along the serene lagoon, every moment is a chance to connect with the soul of Venice.
