Boat Trip Details

The private boat tour of the Borromean Islands departs from the Port of Stresa or from any of the piers you have selected. When booking, you can choose to visit 1, 2, or 3 islands. Ready for a day of adventure?

With this day trip, you'll have a private boat just for your group. Depending on the islands you choose, the day trip will last from 2 to 7 hours.

During the tour, you can get on and off the boat as many times as you want, taking into account the schedule and the islands you want to visit. You set the itinerary!

At the end of the day trip by boat, we'll return to the meeting point.

What to Do in the Borromean Islands?

Welcome to the Borromean Islands, an archipelago located in Lake Maggiore made up of three small islands that you'll get to explore on your own: Isola Madre, Isola Bella, and Isola dei Pescatori. Which ones would you like to visit?

Mountains full of vegetation, calm waters, colorful houses... During the boat day trip, you'll enjoy the characteristic scenery of Lake Maggiore.

On Isola Madre, in addition to seeing the Palazzo Borromeo, you can stroll through its beautiful botanical garden. If you prefer to go to Isola Bella, you can visit the summer palace of Count Vitaliano VI at your own pace and its wonderful Renaissance garden.

Did you know that Isola dei Pescatori is the only inhabited island in the archipelago? You'll see how the local people live as you walk through its streets. Worked up an appetite yet? If you want, you can have some delicious fish for lunch at a local restaurant - it's up to you!
