Gondola rides · GONDOLA RIDES WITH FOOD AND DRINKS
Prosecco on the bench, a picnic on a Durban canal, dinner after the ride. The 6 below say how much of the fare is the food and how much is the boat.
Share a private 30-minute gondola ride through Venice, then walk five minutes to Restaurant La Caravella near St. Mark’s. You’ll receive prosecco, coffee, mineral water, and a three-course dinner of traditional and international dishes. The gondolier drives rather than guides, so this suits couples seeking atmosphere more than a narrated tour.
“Nice evening seeing the different islands with a spritz.”
Cruise Honolulu’s calm waterways in a private or small-group Italian gondola with an English-speaking gondolier such as Elliot or Larry. You’ll pass under three Waikiki bridges, see Magic Island and Diamond Head, hear Venetian songs, and enjoy pastries, drinks, and a Hawaiian lei. The ride lasts 45 minutes to an hour and stays inside protected waters.
“You must ride the gondola! The guides are excellent, funny. and entertaining. They took us all the way down the canal, provided sweets, water and a parasol for us. We waved to lots of onlookers and saw a couple who regularly wave a white flag as the gondola passes their house daily. It was a great, unusual activity in Honolulu. We highly recommend!”
Meet your English-speaking guide in San Marco or near Rialto, or start near the Accademia, then take a private gondola along the Grand Canal and smaller waterways. Finish with aperitivo and dinner in a historic Venetian palace or boutique hotel, a polished choice for anniversaries, proposals, and other special nights.
“Great gondola ride and good meal. Price was very high for what was offered though.”
Spend 90 minutes on a private Thai gondola through Krabi’s mangrove forest and open waterways. Your captain and English-speaking instructor point out monkeys, birds, fish, crabs, and other wildlife, while lunch arrives in an eco-friendly Thai Pinto set. Hotel pickup, fruit, drinks, and picnic photo props are included.
“Nos encanto guias muy amables y discretos. Vimos monos y pajaros. La comida abundante y buena. Vas por manglares y rio abierto. Paras a comer en la sombra con el sonido de los animales Una experiencia única y muy romantica si quieres sorprender a tu pareja Muy bien organizada y nos vinieron a buscar y nos devolvieron a nuestro hotel de Aonang”
Board a private African-style gondola at Zulumoon Gondolas, 39 Timeball Boulevard, for a gentle 40-minute ride along Durban’s Point Waterfront Canal. Your gondolier handles the route while you enjoy a picnic of local cheeses, juice, biscuits, and chocolates. The ride suits couples and families, though the canal is short and the picnic should be confirmed at boarding.
“Everything was memorable. The tour guides? Absolutely amazing. Love how friendly, patient and welcoming ther were.”
Start around 1:30 PM with guide Bun or another English-speaking guide, cycling from Siem Reap through countryside, rice fields, and trails behind Angkor Wat. After cold water and fruit, finish with a private gondola cruise on an ancient waterway, including drinks and local snacks. Hotel pickup, bicycles, helmets, and a support vehicle are included.
“Our guide Bun was fantastic. He has been doing this a long time and his expertise and knowledge shines through, as well as his friendly welcoming personality. Would highly recommend this tour - he also knows all of the best spots for the perfect photos!”
A shared bench, a boat of your own, or a route past the Bridge of Sighs.
