Lake Santa Giustina flows into extremely narrow canyons, accessible only by water with small craft such as canoes and kayaks.
- Firstly, it is accessible only by water - there is no other way to enter this 50-metre-deep and 3-km-long gorge.
- Then there is the sun casting its rays between the rock faces and lighting up the water.
- And lastly, the sounds and the peace; everything is so narrow and hushed here that you can hear every single drop
If you are already familiar with the canyons of Lake Santa Giustina and how to visit them, go straight to online booking!
An extraordinary experience, suitable for all, even children!
If you have enough strength in your arms to paddle you should have no problem as the entire excursion is on flat water. Children over the age of 5 can take part, ideally in a two-seater kayak with a parent.
All the excursions are conducted in total safety: you will be provided with a lifejacket and helmet (properly sanitised).
Guided excursions always begin with a preparatory phase during which the instructor will demonstrate correct paddling techniques and provide the necessary safety guidelines.
4 entrances to the lake from where the guided kayak excursions depart
The guided excursions are organised by four different agencies. As the shores of the lake are steep and narrow, each agency has established their own departure point and built their experience around it.
1. Punta Ciampalesi - Revò
This is the departure point for excursions organised by Parco Fluviale Novella. For your convenience, a large, free car park is available in the town of Revò at Casa Campia. From there you will be taken by shuttle bus along narrow country roads to the lake shore, where kayak, paddles, lifejacket and helmet await you. This is the point of entry closest to the Novella canyon.
2. Località Plaze - Dermulo
Plaze is a large tree-filled park on the lake shore. It is easily reached from the highway linking Dermulo and Sanzeno, and you will find a large car park, which from 15 July 2021 will charge a fee. From here it is just a 5-minute walk to the lake.
3. Chalet Al Lago - Banco
This access point to the lake is located in the small hamlet of Dres. You will reach it through a short walk in the woods that surround Castel Cles, until you reach the starting point of the lake.
The meeting point is at the Info Point Trentino Wild in Cles in front of Piazza Fiera.
What to wear and what to bringBear in mind that you will be spending around 3 hours on the water and that you will probably get wet. We therefore advise you to wear shorts or swimwear, a t-shirt, and sandals or light sneakers that you don’t mind getting wet.
Bear in mind that the sun on the water can be particularly strong. Make sure you apply sun protection before you depart, bring it with you, wear a hat and sunglasses, and don’t forget to bring a water bottle!
Book online!As it is extremely narrow inside the canyon, only one group can enter at a time: this is why kayak excursions to the canyon have a limited number of places!
They are also extremely popular, so we advise you to book in advance!
Below you can find all the options for guided excursions and kayak hire with booking directly online! If the activity is cancelled on the day of the excursion due to bad weather, you will be fully refunded.
