Lake Garda by Water: Cruise Through Beauty and HistoryExplore the wild beauty of the Brescia Coast, historic villages, and the elegance of Isola del Garda
Discover the breathtaking elegance of Lake Garda on this private boat tour designed to showcase the lake’s most iconic and enchanting destinations. Far from the bustle of the crowds, you’ll glide across crystal-clear waters, uncovering postcard-perfect villages, historic villas, and serene shores framed by cypress trees and olive groves. From wild gorges and noble villas to vibrant villages and tranquil swimming spots, this full-day tour is designed to immerse you in the diverse beauty of Lake Garda.
Your journey begins by cruising along the Brescia side, where towering cliffs plunge into the lake and olive groves cling to the hillsides. As the shoreline unfolds, you’ll venture into the dramatic Forra gorge, a narrow canyon carved by time and water. Here, waterfalls cascade into emerald waters to create a cinematic moment amid one of Lake Garda’s most breathtaking natural landmarks.
Next, enjoy a stop in the colorful village of Limone sul Garda. Known for its lemon terraces, steep lanes, and stunning views, Limone offers time to explore or relax with a coffee by the water’s edge.
Continuing south, you'll be guided to the quiet charm of Gargnano, a refined lakeside town graced with historic villas and a peaceful promenade. From there, you'll cruise past Maderno, Gardone Riviera, and Salò, each revealing a different facet of Garda’s cultural and natural richness. Admire the lush hills and noble villas as your skipper shares the stories behind these timeless lakeside gems.
Next you'll be led to the magnificent Isola del Garda, home to a stunning neo-Gothic villa rising from the forested island, a fairytale scene straight from a painting. Here you'll have the chance to disemark and explore the island by land.
Along the way, you'll be guided to two idyllic spots for a swim in Lake Garda’s crystal-clear waters while surrounded by alpine peaks and serenity. This private cruise is ideal for travelers seeking a refined and intimate way to experience Lake Garda’s most beloved sights.
