Looking for Unusual adventure with your kids this summer?
Our family recommendation is a Canal Boat trip around Venice Lagoon.
The boat was our home for 7 nights, we boarded bicycles , some grocery and off we go.
We started our journey from the Le Boat base near Treviso. Got familiar with the boat and set sail towards the Venice Lagoon. Cruise through the lagoon to reach Torcello, an ancient island with historical significance. Explore landmarks like the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Church of Santa Fosca.
On the way we had the first lock experience, learning that not all equipment was fully secured :)
From there we and navigated to Burano, known for its vibrant, colorful houses and lace-making tradition. We enjoyed first night on a boat and in the morning toot time to wander through the picturesque streets and visit local artisan shops.
From Burano we continued slowly enjoying the scenic view and villages along the way into Venice Lagoon were we docked for 2 nights. During the days we explored Venice markets, restaurants, history and views as well as traveling to Murano famous for its glass-making heritage.
From the busy lagoon we sailed to some quite river heading to Padova (but not reaching there) we passed small villages, docked for few hours to explore nature and visit local restaurants using our bikes.
We took local bus to Padova to explore the university city .
On our way back we sailed to Lido di Venezia' , a barrier island known for its beaches and the Venice Film Festival. Explore the island's elegant architecture and relax on the beaches.
We returned to Le Boat center after a great adventure, 8 unforgettable days as a family, many small and funny stories and experiences, we are ready for the next one.
