Romantic Venice: 30 Minute Gondola Ride with Serenade

1.Romantic Venice: 30 Minute Gondola Ride with Serenade

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 2,742 reviews · 30 minutes (approx.) · from $66Our pick

Join a shared flotilla from Santa Maria del Giglio for a roughly 30-minute gondola ride past the Grand Canal, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Accademia Bridge, and Santa Maria della Salute. A singer performs from one gondola, so your view and sound depend on where you are seated.

“Trip was supposed to last 30 minutes, we started late and were back to the starting point by 23 minutes after the hour—it wasn’t even 20 minutes long! Serenade was 2 American songs—I assumed we would be serenaded with Italian standards. The crew were nice, but I was disappointed.”

We departed at 18.15h and came back at 19.45h (already left the boat). Food was good. Service personnel very kind. Extra Tipp. Check your cutlery and plates and so before eating. ;) The entertainment was ok. But not more or less then that.”

Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,034 reviews · from $178

Leave Perth in the afternoon for Lancelin sandboarding, a wildflower or Aboriginal food stop, and sunset at the Pinnacles. After a barbecue dinner with wine, a guide uses telescopes and astro-binoculars to show you planets and stars. Guides such as Neil, Sam, Leighton, and Gavin are known for strong local commentary.

“I'm from the east coast USA, due to the amount of light pollution I don't get to see a lot of stars in the sky too often. This was a must due for me just for the stars. That's said watching the sunset over the Indian Ocean was gorgeous as well. The sand dunes were really quite something as well and it was also nice to dip my toes in the Indian Ocean (My 4th Ocean) even if only briefly. The guides were great and there was plenty of food. Well worth the price.”
