A licensed Venetian gondolier rows you through Gig Harbor in an authentic Italian gondola imported from Venice. The 45-minute tour glides past historic netsheds, the Skansie Park, and waterfront mansions, with Mt Rainier framed in the distance on a clear day. Daytime, sunset, and private champagne tours available. Reservations strongly recommended in summer; book 2+ weeks ahead for weekends.
