Top Cinque Terre Self-guided Tours

Explore the waters of the Italian Riviera on this kayaking trip along the Cinque Terre coastline. Departing from Monterosso, paddle alongside an expert guide, passing hidden coves, rugged cliffs and the bright, pastel hues of the five villages. Pause to stretch out on the beach or cool off with a swim before continuing on your journey. For an evening adventure, choose the sunset option with a stop in a cove for wine and Ligurian snacks.

See the Cinque Terre and Porto Venere coastline by boat, and skip the land-based crowds. This half-day experience combines stops to swim and explore by foot with ample time to relax on deck, coast-gazing and snacking on treats from the Liguria region. The boat has a restroom on board, along with a freshwater shower, so you can freshen up after a cool-down dip in the sea.

Book a private Cinque Terre boat cruise, and see the region’s coastline in the soft, early evening light. As a skipper navigates the boat, you’ll sit back and admire sights of the Cinque Terre’s fishing villages on a 2-hour route from Riomaggiore. Sip on wine, enjoy olives and focaccia, and watch the sun slip into the sea. Food and drinks are at your own expense.
