About this experience

Hard job, but someone has to do it! It’s summer time and you only need 2 things: cool lake water to refresh and a cold drink at a nice lake beach.
Well, this is it! Join us on a group tour by kayak on Lake Como. Meet new people and have fun on our clear blue waters. Be amazed by the stunning view from Baia di Parè in Valmadrera over Lecco and its surrounding mountains. Follow your guide, but don’t forget to look around and over you… Monte Moregallo and Monte San Martino are such a tough guardians on this side of Lake Como. You’ll be surprised by those unexpected perspectives.
One stop on the way to destination for a break and a quick swim. You’ll then reach one of the most beautiful beaches on the whole lake. Have a beer or a drink and (why not?!) a yummy sandwich to recharge your batteries before heading back to the Bay.
Nature, Fun, Activity, Relax and Good Vibes: all-in!
