Details
Treat yourself to the luxury of a sunset over the sea with this sunset boat trip to Porto Venere and the Cinque Terre. After exploring one of the most magical places in Liguria, we will watch the sun disappearing behind the horizon while enjoying an excellent apéritif of local products.
We will depart from La Spezia or Porto Venere and admire the pastel-coloured houses of Porto Venere, along with the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto. We will then navigate around the church of San Pietro, perched on a beautiful promontory. After passing Lord Byron's Grotto, we will come across impressive cliffs. You will have the possibility to swim in the bay of Monesteroli, a small village reachable only by a thousand steep steps.
After this refreshing stop, we will admire Riomaggiore, an ancient fishing village. Passing Manarola and Corniglia, we will stop in Vernazza. Here you will have about 45 minutes to lose yourself in the narrow streets and photograph its colourful houses. Once everyone is back on board, we will head to our final stop off the coast at Monterosso. Here you can dive back into the sea and discover the underwater world with our snorkeling equipment. We will then treat you to an apéritif of local products, which you will enjoy while admiring the sky slowly changing colour and the landscape turning orange. We will then return to our starting point, having a unique view of the illuminated Cinque Terre.
