Glide through the northern Venetian lagoon on a private boat tour, where untamed nature meets centuries-old island culture. Discover secluded bays, vibrant birdlife, and rich lagoon history away from the crowds.
Laguna FLA Group is a Venezia, Veneto–based operator offering boat tours and traditional Burano needle-lace experiences in the northern Venetian lagoon. The company combines lagoon navigation with authentic artisanal instruction to present visitors with both natural scenery and cultural heritage.
Tour options include private boat excursions through pristine lagoon waters, island visits with panoramic views, and nature observation focused on the flora and fauna of the area. Separate experiences center on Burano’s historic needle-lace craft: a practical introductory workshop, a full course tailored to individual skill levels, and a visit featuring a live demonstration by a Master Artisan.
The needle-lace courses are led by a Maestra Artigiana who teaches the ancient technique of Merletto ad ago di Burano. These sessions range from a short hands-on laboratory for first-time learners to a complete course for those who wish to create a handmade lace piece under guided instruction.
Laguna FLA Group’s combination of lagoon boat travel and traditional lace workshops provides a dual-focus experience—nature and craft—rooted in Venezia and the islands of the northern lagoon. All descriptions and offerings refer to the listed tours and workshops available through the business in Venezia, Veneto.
