About this tour
This private sunrise cruise offers the lake in its quietest and most peaceful mood. We head out early, before the day fully begins, when the canals are still, the air is fresh and the first light spreads gently across the water.
It is a beautiful choice for guests who love calm mornings, birds waking up, soft reflections and a slower experience away from the daytime rhythm.
Pelicans, herons and cormorants are most active at this hour, which makes the morning route especially rewarding for birdwatching and photography. A swim stop in the middle of the lake is included.
Because sunrise time depends on the season, the exact departure hour is arranged individually after you book your date. Once the date is reserved, we contact you to confirm the timing and all practical details.
