Overview

Activity suitable for everyone: slowly glide along the Arno River on a wide and safe board, with a professional instructor who directs us on this memorable Florentine adventure.
The calm of the river and the peace within us!
Here's what we'll see during our passage on the Arno:
The Uffizi Gallery, the palaces of the ancient families who lived on the Lungarno
The Ponte Vecchio, the only bridge that was not mined during the Second World War
The Ponte di Santa Trinita, rebuilt in 1946 exactly as it was in the 16th century
The Palazzo Spini Ferroni, home of the Ferragamo fashion house.
It's truly an emotion to pass under such famous bridges, it seems like going back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Standing Up Paddle is accessible to everyone, even those who don't like surfing or doing sports.
You paddle safely on a huge board and there is no chance of falling
A memorable opportunity to enjoy the art and nature of Florence in a single experience!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (7)

    Q: Will I get seasick on One-oar Surfing on the Arno River from Florence?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
