Navigli of Milan: Dragon Boat Experience

Dragon Boat Experience on Milan’s Navigli – Suitable for All Ages and Groups

Explore Milan’s Navigli canals from a Dragon Boat, combining paddling teamwork with a visit to the National Association of Sailors of Italy’s historic headquarters.

Description

This activity starts with a guided tour of the National Association of Sailors of Italy’s historic headquarters, where you learn about Milan’s water-related history, traditions, and navigation relics.

After the tour, a technical briefing prepares you for paddling a Dragon Boat, a long, stable vessel ideal for group coordination. An instructor teaches you how to paddle in sync to maximize the boat’s speed and stability.
