Explore Lake Como by Boat, Bike or Vespa

Boasting remarkable panoramic views, lush Mediterranean vegetation, lovely walks, and the picture-perfect picnic spot, Comacina Island is a great day trip for travellers of all ages to explore and enjoy the local area. The two-hour tour on the water includes a private boat excursion with a knowledgeable local guide to tell guests more about the many sights and interesting history of the island.
Families can now stay fit and cruise around the scenic area with Hilton Lake Como’s new picnic bike tour, which includes a 3-hour guided city tour on hotel bikes. Teenagers will be impressed by seeing Hollywood blockbuster hot spots such as Villa Balbianello, where Star Wars and James Bond’s Casino Royale were filmed. Cycling is the ideal way to appreciate the many historical villages alongside Lake Como whilst taking in the stunning natural beauty of the lake. The bike tour also includes a picnic lunch, so guests can refuel with a tasty meal on the go at their chosen picnic spot, which can be personalised to guests’ preferences. Picnic lunches can consist of seasonal local dishes and freshly baked breads accompanied smoothies, fresh juice and fine Italian wines.
