This is the shortlist we’d send a friend: the 5 canoes & kayaks tours worth booking, each with its price, its traveller verdict, and the one thing to know before you commit.
Kayak the quiet Arno under Ponte Vecchio’s arches in Florence. Pick a single or double raft on a guided 2-hour ride.
“Great kayak tour that is fairly easy on a normal day. Great views and information you won't find elsewhere.”
Kayak the Arno in Florence for $58: paddle under Ponte Vecchio, spot the Uffizi from below, and hit the San Niccolò slide with a guide.
“We tried both the kayaks and the rafts. Both are excellent activities! The guides were great! Kayaking under the Ponte Vecchio was truly one the most memorable experiences of my life!”
Kayak and rafting near Lucca, ending at the Devil’s Bridge in Tuscany. Bilingual guides, included gear, and a refreshing water stop.
“We had the most awesome time. William and Lorenzo went out of their way to give us a fun adventure !!! Would come back to Lucca just to do this again …. Most gorgeous location and environment … stunning !!! Even came with an extra shot of adrenaline for those that wanted it !!”
Family-friendly kayak/rafting run from Lucca with a wet-suit, expert guides, and a memorable pass at Ponte della Maddalena in about 90 minutes.
“The family rafting was so fun and the views were amazing! And the staff go out of their way to ensure you have a great time! We had a time crunch bc of our cruise departure and these guys made sure we didnt miss out on the rafting and did a shortened run with us so we could still get some rafting in. Book this if you have kids.”
Adrenaline packrafting and inflatable kayaking on Tuscany’s Lima and Serchio rivers near Bagni di Lucca, ending by the Ponte del Diavolo.
“Wir waren zu dritt bei dieser Tour. Der Führer Pietro war sehr nett und hat auch alles für uns, als Anfänger, erklärt. Man konnte sich sehr gut auf Englisch mit ihm unterhalten. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und es war für uns sehr aufregend. Die Tour ist definitiv zu empfelen, wenn man sich nicht vor ein wenig Sport oder Wasser scheut. Wir könnten auch noch zusätzlich für 50€ eine kamera buchen die wir uns auf den Helm geschnallt haben, dadurch konnten wir das Erlebnis super einfangen. Die Anstrengung war eher mäßig da sich Stromschnellen und leichte Strömung abwechselten. Dabei konnte man die schöne Natur verinnerlichen.”
