A private 4-hour excursion through the ancient Venetian Lagoon, exploring its evocative and mysterious sandbanks, which emerge only during low tide. These untouched islands allow us to imagine the challenges our ancestors faced when settling in the heart of the lagoon, relying just on fishing as their primary means of survival while laying the foundations for a city like Venice. As the journey continues, you will discover the ancient fish farms and the modern fishing techniques used in the lagoon. You’ll witness huge mechanical nets spanning the entire width of the canals, submerged and then lifted to catch fish in a fascinating display of local expertise. This trip takes you off the beaten tourist paths, offering a unique opportunity to capture stunning photos and videos of the local fauna and flora. It’s ideal for those who love peace, quiet, and a touch of adventure.
