Via Spiaggia del Lago, 17 - On the beach we will teach you the movement of the paddling and as you enter and maneuver the kayak, we will wear the life jacket and go away immediately with your single or double kayak.
Our mission is to make you fall in love with nature that mixes with the history of ancient Rome and the Popes, and we will let you retrace all the points that have surprised us.
We will submerge you and show you all of its beauty in one fell swoop like in a thunderbolt.
We will see the submerged piles, the Roman port of the Villa of Domitian, the Pope’s springboard and we will be silent in the peace of nature, and in spring and summer we will also bathe in its pure waters.

We’ll convene at the lake,(www.instagram.com/romekayaktour) following a brief briefing on the shoreline, we’ll swiftly plunge ourselves into the untamed wilderness, accompanied only by the sound of the waters stirred by our paddles. We’ll pause at various points to share the rich history of Castelgandolfo.
Our journey takes us back in time, from the prehistoric era to the days of ancient Rome and into the duration of the Pope’s trampoline, a favored summer vacation spot for the popes.
Nearing the end of our adventure, we’ll dock at an age-old Roman port where a sampling of local wines, meats and cheeses awaits us. After this relaxing interlude, we’ll conclude our tour within a short span of 10 minutes.

Beautiful kayaking on Lago Albano, definitely recommend for a peaceful break from the city. - Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a beautiful small town and break from the city. A great day trip from rome. All kayaking abilities can do this. Alex was a great tour guide and told us a lot about the local town and places to go! Castel Gandolfo was so beautiful and just a short walk from the lake.

Excellent! - Very fun and above all safe experience. Micheal, Francesco and Carlotta were formidable instructors.
It is recommended to bring a towel, swimsuit, spare t-shirt and rock shoes.

Highly recommend this great tour - We had the most amazing time kayaking with Andrea. We booked this quite last minute but we’re so glad we did. I’d never kayaked before but this didn’t matter. Andrea gave us a quick lesson on how to paddle and then we set off on the lake. Andrea knew lots of interesting information about the lake and was clearly passionate about being outdoors and exploring, we felt very at ease with him and chatted and laughed the whole way round the lake.
The food tasting was good and consisted of different local meats and cheese with some Prosecco. Overall we had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you to Andrea and the rest of the team! This was such a great way to get away from the crowds of the big cities.

We scheduled this trip as... - We scheduled this trip as it was out last day in Italy together as a family. The instructors were great, our instruction was Mike, after taking the drive to the lake and then changing our clothes we were in the water and enjoying the scenery.

Amazing views - The kayaking was amazing, lovely lake, very relaxing, our tour guide was very friendly and shared lots of information. However the food was not good, everything was soggy and tasteless which we didn’t end up eating, the drink was also awful we had aperol spritz and all you can taste was Prosecco which we also couldn’t drink. The restaurant staff were not very friendly they did not talk just put food on table and left. No one welcomed us we wouldn’t like to return there I’m afraid.
