Tofino Expeditions

Celebrating 35 Years of Award Winning Sea Kayaking Tours

Overview

Paddling the pristine, protected waters of the Italian Lake district is an unforgettable experience. The paddler enjoys a unique perspective on the Lakes’ powerful blend of dramatic scenery, fairytale villages, and opulent lakeside villas. Conditions are ideal with typically mild weather and swimmable, warm water. The paddling routes on this trip are remarkably diverse, combining richly forested mountainsides, rugged cliffs, and remote islands.
Mirror-smooth lakes surrounded by soaring, snowcapped peaks provide a setting reminiscent of the Norwegian Fjords, yet with a distinctly Mediterranean culture. Charming medieval villages are laced with narrow cobbled walkways that open out to small sun-splashed plazas. Along the lakeshores, opulent villas with lush, manicured gardens invoke the luxury of ages past. Throughout history, the beauty of the lakes has inspired musicians, artists, and writers including Wagner, Verdi, Da Vinci, Cristo, Hemmingway and Virgil.
