Top Veneto Wildlife Watching

A genuine family-run farm between Lake Garda and Verona, away from the crowds. Here you don't just watch the animals — a member of the family guides you to meet them up close: alpacas, horses, ponies, Highland cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys and friendly farmyard animals, learning how to approach each one safely and respectfully. It's hands-on, unhurried and genuinely educational — perfect for families and curious travelers of every age. The visit ends with a tasting of the farm's own products and local specialties — two local cheeses, wildflower honey, seasonal fruit and a drink pairing — each telling the story of the land and the people who work it. Pets are welcome, parking is free, and the slow pace invites you to reconnect with nature. An authentic slice of rural Italian life, just a short drive from the lake.

Escape the crowds and explore Venice’s quieter side with this kayak tour through the Venetian lagoon. Paddle around the historic islands of Sant’Erasmo and Vignole and visit a 16th-century fort only accessible by small boat. Learn about the history of this little-visited corner of the lagoon and spot local wildlife. You’ll also paddle past the islands of Lazzaretto Nuovo and Certosa to admire views of Venice from afar.
