Boat Cruise to Lake Garda's Gems: Garda Island & Rocca di Manerba

Enjoy a scenic boat ride past Lake Garda's hidden gems

Set off on a scenic boat tour from the charming harbor of Desenzano del Garda and discover some of the most iconic and picturesque highlights of Lake Garda. This three-hour cruise invites you to glide over crystal-clear waters while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and breathtaking scenery of Italy’s largest lake.

After a warm welcome on board in Desenzano, you’ll head north along the shoreline. As you cruise, admire the dramatic Rocca di Manerba, a striking cliffside fortress rich in history and legend. Continue past the tranquil Isola dei Conigli (Rabbit Island), known for its unspoiled nature and peaceful shores.

The journey then takes you around Isola del Garda, the lake’s largest and most impressive island, where an elegant Venetian-style neo-Gothic villa rises amid beautifully landscaped gardens. Sailing onward, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Golfo di Salò, one of the widest and most scenic bays on Lake Garda.

The tour also passes the refined lakeside towns of Fasano and Gardone, celebrated for their historic villas, lush gardens, and timeless elegance. As you make your way back toward Desenzano del Garda, relax on board and soak in the panoramic views of the lake, framed by rolling hills and shimmering waters.
