West Coast Boat Trip Itinerary and Points of Interest

The tour departs from Desenzano or Sirmione and winds through the crystal-clear waters of the lake, letting you admire the majestic Rocca di Manerba dominating the horizon.

You then sail towards Isola dei Conigli, an enchanted island within the Parco Regionale della Rocca di Manerba — a perfect spot to contemplate the lake’s natural beauty.

Aboard the motorboat, you cross the lake to reach Isola del Garda, the tour highlight. You can admire the island dominated by a sumptuous neo-Gothic palace surrounded by magnificent Italian and English gardens. The contrast between the palace’s elegance and the surrounding nature creates a magical atmosphere.

You conclude your panoramic journey sailing along the Gulf of Padenghe, admiring its crystal-clear waters and picturesque lakeside towns. The return along the coast offers one last chance to savour Lake Garda’s beauty.
