Lake Tana Tours

Bahir Dar sits right on the edge of Lake Tana, home to a group of centuries-old monasteries scattered across its islands and shorelines. If you’re staying with us, we can help arrange a boat trip out to see them, along with a visit to the nearby Blue Nile Falls if you’d like to make a full day of it.

What The Tour Includes

Boat trips typically head out from the Bahir Dar dock and take you across the lake to visit one or more of the historic island monasteries, many of which still hold centuries-old religious paintings and manuscripts.

Trips can run a few hours or a full day depending on how many stops you want to make. Just let our front desk know in advance and we’ll help arrange the boat and guide for you.

What’s Included

Whether you’re here for a short visit or staying a few days, seeing Lake Tana is one of the easiest ways to experience what makes Bahir Dar worth the trip. Just ask us at the front desk and we’ll take care of the details.
