The tour lasts approximately 60 to 70 minutes.

During the boat ride, you can listen to audio guides via headsets—available in Italian or English—featuring commentary on the history of the lake, the local villages, Borgo Antuni, the Nature Reserve, the local flora and fauna, regional culinary specialties, and many other interesting facts about the area.

We will sail first towards the dam, then towards the villages along the shore, before passing under the bridge to admire Antuni. We will then head towards the "faraglioni" (rock stacks)—the guardians of the Valley—where the view opens up to reveal the Nature Reserve, Ascrea, and Paganico; along the way, we will admire the hermitage and try to spot the local birdlife.

The captain is always available to provide further information and explanations.

The boat welcomes passengers of all ages, from 0 to 99 (and even centenarians—who travel for free, of course!); it is also accessible to people with disabilities, provided they are accompanied where necessary.
Please note that the final stretch of the path leading to the jetty, while free of steps, has an uneven surface and may not be suitable for wheelchairs or individuals with mobility issues.
We advise everyone to take care when walking along this section.

Tickets can be purchased in advance EXCLUSIVELY on this page to guarantee your spot (RECOMMENDED OPTION),
or directly at the pier between 60 and 15 minutes before each departure, subject to availability.
Telephone bookings are not accepted.

For cancellations requested by passengers as well as those due to technical or weather-related issues, please refer to the TERMS OF SALE.

The boarding point is at the pier beneath the Castel di Tora bridge, at "Angoletto Beach," opposite the L’Angoletto restaurant.
You can also reach it by passing under the bridge via the path with the barrier, located next to the parking area.

You can leave your car in the parking area near the bridge or, if that is full, 
in the vicinity of the sports field/Bar La Casina, or in designated spots along 
the S.P. Turanense road, then walk the short distance to the bridge.

If you have purchased your ticket online, simply arrive at the boarding pier 10 minutes before your scheduled time. Otherwise, we recommend arriving at least 20 minutes early to check availability and purchase your ticket.

ONBOARD CONDUCT

For safety reasons, standing up or walking around while the boat is moving is NOT permitted. During docking, everyone must remain seated and wait for the Captain's signal to stand up and disembark; this is only allowed once the boat is safely moored.

FOOD & DRINK
Bringing your own food or drinks on board is not permitted, with the exception of water.

CIGARETTES
Smoking is NOT permitted on board.

LUGGAGE
Small backpacks or bags (max weight 5kg) are allowed. Passengers are responsible for their own luggage during boarding, the cruise, and disembarkation.

BICYCLES
Generally, bicycles are not allowed, but please contact us to see if an exception can be made. In any case, they can be left safely next to the dock.

The boat is certified to carry only 16 people, and this limit does not distinguish between adults and children. Therefore, much to our regret, we must charge a fee—albeit a reduced one—for children over the age of two.

Please note that minors remain the sole responsibility of their parents throughout the activity, including boarding and disembarkation. They must also remain seated and not lean over the side.
Vivi Turano accepts no liability in the event that these rules are not followed.

Regarding STROLLERS: they may be brought on board subject to available space and weight limits. If bringing them on board is not possible, they may be left on the dock.

Your friends are our friends too, and they are welcome on board, though there are some limitations.
We can accommodate a maximum of two small-to-medium-sized dogs (up to 15 kg each) at a time; they must be kept on a leash, remain under your supervision throughout the tour, and are not permitted on the seats.
If the dogs are incompatible with one another, access may be restricted to just one dog.
We will do our best to accommodate you, but notifying us at the time of booking does not 100% guarantee that the dogs can come aboard (there is no automated "dog counter" in our system).

No special attire is required, but we recommend comfortable clothing and footwear—please avoid high heels or flip-flops.
It is always a good idea to bring a sweatshirt and/or a windbreaker. In any case, the boat is equipped with transparent roll-down blinds that the captain may use on very cold days.

There is no scheduled swimming stop on this tour.
If you are part of a group and would like to swim, you can contact us to book a private tour that includes the chance to dive into the blue-green waters of Lake Turano!
