Details
Among the experiences you cannot miss while in Liguria, there is our boat trip from Manarola to the Cinque Terre with apéritif at sunset! Aboard our traditional gozzo, we will take you to admire the beauty of this part of the Ligurian coastline, stopping for swimming and snorkeling with our equipment.
Our journey begins in the small port of Manarola, from where we will set off in a northerly direction. Along the way, you will be able to see the enchanting Corniglia and Vernazza from the sea, before arriving at the renowned Monterosso. You will love cooling off in the crystal-clear water of one of the most beautiful bays on the coast, while the sky is tinged with a variety of colours. When we have also shown you the northernmost village of the Cinque Terre, we will reverse course to take you also to enjoy the view of Riomaggiore.
To complete our adventure in the best possible way, we will delight you on board with an excellent apéritif of local wine and non-alcoholic drinks, before taking you back to the port of Manarola.
Highlights
- View of the Cinque Terre National Park from the water at sunset
- 1 or 2 20-minute stops for swimming and snorkeling in the best bays of the Ligurian coastline
- Traditional apéritif on board
Departure & Return
We meet at our ticket office at the Manarola quay 15 minutes before the departure time. For those arriving by car, there are paid car parks near the village church. We recommend that you reach our base by public transport, as parking spaces are extremely limited.

It was perfect. Cool boat ride to see a beautiful sunset… the captain took pictures of everyone with our cameras in front of Riomaggiore and the sea at sunset, good music, cold drinks, the history of the 5 villages… all very beautiful and romantic because the weather was perfect.

Excellent boat tour, very friendly organisers & captain/guide - not commercial at all, a boat trip organised by locals that also make a living as fishermen. I can only highly recommend it! It’s a must to see Cinque Terre at its best.
