Hop from island to island in the lagoon by bike: we will start from the Lido island, with its groomed shellac beaches, bronzed lifeguards and old ladies sipping Prosecco at the market, experiencing the Belle Epoque glamour passing in front of the beautiful hotels designed in the 20s in Art Noveau style. We will bike along the canals of Malamocco, a colorful fishing village that’s like a miniature version of Venice, cycle through a forest reserve to a lighthouse and relax like the locals do by heading to quiet Alberoni beach for a drink or a swim. We will enjoy special views of Venice biking along the Pellestrina island and its fishing communities strung out the water's edge in jaunty pastel colours. The route will continue to Chioggia, another miniature of Venice and a fishing community. You will decide if you prefer to bike back from the same route or to reach Venice by from the mainland, returining to Lido after a spectacular view from the ferry to Lido in front of St. Marks.

What you'll see and do
Lido di Venezia
We will meet at Santa Maria Elisabetta on Lido Island, where we will rent our bikes and start discovering Lido!
15 minutes here
Grande Albergo Ausonia Hungaria
Hotel Ausonia & Hungaria (1913) is a remarkable example of luxury tourism dated back one century ago, thanks to the beautiful ceramic tiles on the main facade, recently renovated.
15 minutes here
Grand Hotel des Bains
A former luxury hotel, built in 1900 to attract wealthy tourists, it is remembered for Thomas Mann's stay here in 1911 and the shooting of movies like "Death in Venice" by Visconti (1971) and the English Patient (1996).
15 minutes here
The oldest festival in the world is held in late August or early September here and screenings take place in the historic Palazzo del Cinema. The still running Art Nouveau Hotel Excelsior (1908) usually hosts producers and actors during the Festival.
20 minutes here
Malamocco
From the beach we will enter this small fisherman village passing over Ponte di Borgo and explore the canals and calli or a less overwhelming lagoon town with just a few churches and a Gothic palazzo, a small miniature of Venice!
15 minutes here
Bagni Alberoni
After few kilometers we will reach Alberoni beach, right at the western tip of Lido (opposite to San Nicolo). The natural beach of Alberoni has a maritime pine forest which slopes down to the Lido’s wildest most scenic beach. These enchanting dune fields are the stuff of Shelley’s poems and Byron’s early morning rides. Often this beach is virtually deserted, except a plethora of marine birds and few kite surfers or windsurfers on windy days. We will make a break at this beach before hopping on a ferry to Pellestrina island
15 minutes here
Murazzi
The route will be wild as we will bike along the Murazzi, a scenic route following the Adriatic sea. Murazzi is a remarkable 18th century engineering work: These massive sea walls represent a Herculean work from pre industrial age. Designed to keep high seas from crashing into the lagoon, they remain an effective breakwater even today. Murazzi are built with large blocks of Istrian stone and can be found also on the sister island of Lido.
15 minutes here
Pellestrina
We will bike along this 7 km long island, stretching south of the Lido and repeating its long, sinuous shape. The island is home of 3 tight-knit fishing communities - San Pietro in Volta, Portosecco and Pellestrina, strung out along the water's edge in jaunty pastel colours.
60 minutes here
Chioggia
Chioggia is a miniature version of Venice, and is often called "Little Venice", with a few canals, chief among them the Canale Vena, and the characteristic narrow streets known as calli. Chioggia has several medieval churches, much reworked in the period of its greatest prosperity in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is also a lively fihing community: what a great place to taste some fresh fish!

Venice seen from another side with friends
Lido, Pellestrina and Chioggia by bike I loved it! I really liked the hotel in Malamocco Relais Albergo. Very friendly staff, quiet place...
Response from the operator: Ciao Nicole, siamo felici che tu abbia apprezzato la tua esperienza con noi. Siamo lieti che tu abbia apprezzato l'esperienza. Grazie per avermi scelto!

Good and healthy air
From Chioggia we took the ferry that leads to Pellestrina, then from there we walked the walls that lead to Ca' Roman and then to the protected oasis managed by Lipu. The walls divide the sea from the lagoon and it is a very healthy walk. Little tourism and therefore much appreciated by us.
Response from the operator: Grazie! Alla prossima!

Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands cost?
+
Prices start at $370 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.
Is Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Venice?
+
On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Tour of The Real Hidden Venice. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Venice?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands?
+
Included: Tour Leader & Nature and Interpretive Guide. Not included: Gratuities; Ferry boat tickets (suggested: 20 Euro 24 hrs ticket); Train ticket if needed; and Bicycle use. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands?
+
In front of Hotel Panorama Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Pellestrina: Bike Hopping Around the Venice Lagoon Islands wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
