What To Expect

Venice Canals Walkway

We will touring the Venice Canals by canoe. The Venice Canals were created in 1905 as part of an expansive entertainment district along southern California coastline and were create by Abbot Kinney. Our journey starts at Eastern Canal where we will have a short orientation and canoe training session before boarding individual canoes. After that, we will be padding up and down Grand, Carroll, Linnie, Howland, and Sherman Canals. While it is now lined with houses, originally the Venice Canals were largely empty and mostly used for early 1900s form of "glamping" ("glamorous" meets "camping"). We will see ducks and other water birds as well as various unique houses and local art. If you booked a sunset tour expect some of the best photos as we chase the setting sun!

The view of the houses from the water is an entirely much better view than walking around the canals. Totally worth it to have them set you up in the canoe or kayak, as they have it completely dialed in for a smooth entry.

The beauty of the home and the canal. Daniel was an excellent guide. His knowledge and sincerity captured the heart of the community. We loved our time on the canal. I totally recommend this tour. Be prepared to paddle your own canoe. I wasn’t. Lol
