We will not bathe on the beach or lake in this activity.
Throughout the year, we recommend that clients bring a jacket, sweater or sweatshirt for the boat ride, since at sunset it can get cold.
You can take your own food but you can't eat on the bus, you can only eat on the boat ride.
This activity does not have free time. Only 5 minutes to use the bathroom before taking the boat ride.
You have booked this experience: transportation from various pick-up points + excursion led by an official guide in the selected language + reservation management for the boat ride guaranteeing availability. (Bus + guide + management of reservations, so that you only worry about having a good time!)
The return transportation is included. With the same pick-up stops.
If you make the check out of your hotel you can take your luggage, as long as it is a cabin suitcase or a small backpack. You must notify us to guarantee space.
If you go at the afternoon: the schedule is approximated, we go to the best time to see the sunset from the lake (could change your pick up time 5 or 10 minutes)
The tour could be bilingual.
We recommend bringing insect repellent.
Please note: the excursion includes a walking tour of various parts of the Nature Reserve, so we recommend wearing suitable walking shoes and bringing something warm for the boat trip in the afternoon.
