Additional Information & Description
Isola dei Pescatori brings a village stop to a scenic boat trip across Lake Maggiore. Departing from Stresa, this hop-on hop-off tour combines time on the water with the freedom to pause ashore, rather than following a single uninterrupted cruise.
Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands
The journey takes you onto a large northern Italian lake on the southern side of the Alps. Lake Maggiore’s shoreline extends across Piedmont and Lombardy in Italy and Ticino in Switzerland. The Borromean Islands are the focus of this outing, giving you an island destination to explore as well as views from the boat.
Set your own pace between stops
The hop-on hop-off format lets you leave the boat at an island that catches your interest, spend time there and wait for the next boat to continue. That flexibility leaves room for a longer walk or an unhurried stop instead of keeping every part of the visit afloat. Live commentary is included onboard, adding a spoken introduction during the journey.
Walk through the village on Isola dei Pescatori
On Isola dei Pescatori, spend your shore time exploring the village and browsing its craft market. A leisurely stroll is part of the appeal here: the island stop gives you time to look around on foot before continuing your boat journey. You can also pause at a lakeside restaurant for lunch or a drink.
Try the local lake fish
Perch and whitefish feature in the local cuisine, giving a meal ashore a direct connection to the lake you have just crossed. Food and drinks are not included in the ticket, so restaurant stops are separate expenses. A landing fee of €0.50 per person is also payable separately.
