Common questions

How do you get to Isola del Garda?

Only by boat, on the organised excursions that leave from various harbours around the lake. There are no scheduled ferries and no way to land independently.

Do you need to book?

Yes, always: visits are guided, timed and with limited places on the boats. In high season it's worth booking several days ahead.
