Kayaking Tour of Bellagio Bay, Lake Como
Lake Como, Italy
About This Activity
Launch from the small fishing harbour of Pescallo on the eastern side of the Bellagio peninsula and kayak across the sheltered bay with an experienced guide. The 3-hour tour covers approximately 8 km, paddling close to the wooded Villa Serbelloni promontory and stopping to swim in the clear lake water (average temperature 24°C in July). Your guide points out Villa Carlotta, Villa Melzi, and explains the unique geography where the lake splits into two branches. No previous kayaking experience required; minimum age 8.
Seasonal note: Water warm enough for swimming June-September; tours available May-October
