Lake Garda is impressive from land. But seeing it from the water, sailing between Bardolino, Sirmione and Malcesine, is a completely different experience.
## Why by boat?
From the lake you get perspectives impossible from land: the Ponale cliffs, medieval villages reflected in the water, the silhouette of Monte Baldo. Without the coastal road traffic.
## What a good boat tour includes
- Naturalist guide explaining the lake's geology, history and flora - Stops at historic villages: Bardolino, Peschiera or Lazise - Time to swim (summer) or walk through historic centres - Small groups (max 12 people)
## When is best
May, June and September are ideal months. August is possible but the lake has more boat traffic.
