Details
Our boat trip to the Cinque Terre departs from the port of Monterosso and Levanto every day. Once on the boat, our guide will serve you a glass of prosecco or whatever you wish and offer you a wide range of appetizers and finger food. In the meantime, the boat will proceed along the coast, and you will have the opportunity to take some photos.
Every time we reach a village or spot an animal, the guide will illustrate interesting facts about it to help you learn as much as possible about the history of the Cinque Terre and its ecosystem.
The boat trip includes two stops lasting about 30 minutes each where you can jump into the water and explore the seabed. The stops may vary depending on the conditions, but typically they are at Guvano beach and Canneto, a small bay just after Riomaggiore on the southern border of the Cinque Terre park, where a spring of fresh water gives rise to numerous reeds.
Highlights
- View of the Cinque Terre from the sea
- Rich apéritif with local products and drinks of your choice

It was very well organized. We were given excellent information about the nature reserve and the villages. The captain and our guide were very attentive, and the snacks were beautifully prepared. Not to mention the magnificent scenery. Absolutely stunning and picturesque. Highly recommended. However, you should not be prone to vertigo or seasickness. The boat is rather small and rocks quite a bit.

We had an amazing experience on the boat tour around Cinque Terre. Seeing the villages from the sea was absolutely beautiful and gave us a completely different perspective of the coastline. Everything was well organized, relaxed, and very enjoyable from start to finish. The boat trip was definitely one of the highlights of our visit. We were very satisfied and would highly recommend it. A clear 5-star experience.
