Boat Trip from Levanto to Cinque Terre & Portovenere with Apéritif & Snorkeling

About the Activity

What to Expect

There is no better way to visit the scenic beauty of the Cinque Terre and Portovenere than with a boat trip in a traditional Ligurian gozzo, with a local crew that will bring you to the most stunning coves to swim, snorkel, and enjoy the views. Starting from Levanto, this trip ensures you do not miss the sight of any of these lovely villages on the sea. After passing Punta Mesco, we quickly reach the amazing Monterosso, probably the most famous of them all, with its long sandy beach and the famous rock.

The second colourful village we encounter is Vernazza, surmounted by the impressive Doria Castle, and this leads us to the third one, Corniglia, the only village with no direct access to the sea. As we continue along this UNESCO World Heritage Site, we head to the last two hamlets, Manarola and Riomaggiore. After a short cruise, we stop at Portovenere for you to discover this fantastic seaside village described by Lord Byron, Shelley, George Sand, and other great poets. We will also visit the picturesque Church of San Pietro, an ancient pagan temple with a breathtaking view of the coast.

During the return trip, in the off-season and less crowded periods, we will stop for a visit to the characteristic village of Vernazza; otherwise, we will end the tour with one last swim in the sea. Throughout the trip, you can use the snorkeling equipment available on board. Before ending such a perfect day, we will delight you with an apéritif featuring local products, such as homemade pesto and focaccia. This offer is ideal for those looking to explore the region's beauty in a relaxing and enriching way.
