01 / FIRST, FIND YOUR KIND OF DAY

There isn't one
right way to see it.

A kayak gets you close to a narrow canal. A shikara lets everyone sit back. A houseboat makes the journey a stay. The best choice depends on your time, comfort and curiosity.

Into the smaller
canals.

Take a local ferry beyond town, meet your village guide, and slow down in a traditional wooden canoe. This is for travelers who want to notice the place, not tick it off.
