Overview

This private gondola cruise lasts about 50 minutes and carries up to six passengers through the canals of the Coronado Cays, a residential area in San Diego with waterways designed to resemble Venice, Italy. The gondola moves gently through the canals, providing a calm setting suitable for quiet outings or romantic occasions. Weather permitting, the gondola may leave the canals to enter San Diego Bay, where passengers can see the Coronado Bridge and downtown San Diego. The departure point is located approximately 4.5 miles south of the Hotel Del Coronado, which can be visited after the cruise. Select wines, non-alcoholic drinks, and assorted chocolates are available for purchase during check-in. Passengers who bring their own beverages and request ice, an ice bucket, and glassware will be charged a corkage fee. Wheelchairs and strollers cannot be taken onto the gondola, but guests can be transferred into it. Gratuity for the gondolier is not included and is customary at a level similar to restaurant servers. Same-day bookings must be made directly with the operator.
