Top Isola d'Elba Private Sightseeing Tours

Italy's beaches can get crowded in peak season, so swap the sand for time for time on the water. Board a classic Italian motorboat for a private cruise along Elba's eastern coastline as the sun sets. Sail past secluded coves, anchor for a swim in calm waters, and return to the harbor as the sun goes down. Enjoy tapas and a selection of wines and beers along the way.

Climb aboard a vintage boat and watch the sun slip behind the horizon on this private sunset tour from Porto Azzurro Marina. Escape the crowds as your skipper-guide navigates the coast while you take in the shimmering views, swim in sheltered coves, and enjoy a delicious aperitif with snacks on board. With snorkeling equipment included, you can also explore the underwater world and spot marine life in its natural habitat.

Elba’s largest city, Portoferraio has an unusual history that’s not always apparent to newcomers. On this tour, explore the city with an art historian guide, visiting historic sights associated with Cosimo de' Medici and Napoleon, who was exiled to the island in the early 19th century. Stop at two of the three forts founded by de’ Medici, a church that Napoleon transformed into a theater, and Napoleon’s residence-in-exile.

Overall 2h bike tour: The departure time varies from 6:20 PM to 7:30 PM depending on the season. An experience full of 'Good Vibes'. The energy of the sunset and the return to twilight. The unspoiled nature, the non-existent traffic (we are in the middle of Mount Calamita with the 1st country, Capoliveri, 7km away on a dirt road), will make the whole thing truly special. The tour will take place on Monte Calamita and then head, for bikers with a minimum of experience, towards Innamorata beach. Technically easy but unpaved, which therefore requires a minimum of bike experience. Return to twilight, turning on the light on the bike (if needed), towards the starting point (Elba MTB Capoliveri, in the center of the Tenuta delle Ripalte) via a dirt road of about 30 minutes. Possibility, after the tour, of eating something at the bar or restaurant of the Tenuta delle Ripalte facility.

Bike tour of 2 hours, divided equally between bike ride and tasting. Departure at 16.00 and arrival in the cellar at 17.00 (a meeting time is required about 20' before). Explore the wildest part of the Island of Elba: a 450-hectare estate spread over a vast promontory (Monte Calamita) to the southeast. Enjoy an excursion aboard a top-of-the-range e-mtb, which will allow us to ride dirt roads in greater safety. The FCI (Italian cycling federation) MTB guide will give you insights both before and during the ride. Get excited during the breaks in panoramic points overlooking the sea: you will visit cliffs overlooking the sea, natural lakes and ancient pine forests immersed in the Mediterranean scrub. You will cross one of the highest vineyards on the Island of Elba. After the tour, relax with an aperitif with Tenuta delle Ripalte wines and enjoy a moment of relaxation with wine and snacks, observing the sea from a privileged point of view: the roof of a Design Cellar.

Once the tour is booked, you can go to the rental point to pick up the bicycles and start the experience with virtual navigation. The e-bike loop tour starts from Capoliveri and measures about 25 km with 520 m of positive elevation gain: medium level. The route alternates paved roads, trails, secondary roads, and a short singletrack, with regular climbs and dirt sections that require a minimum of Guide confidence. Leaving the village, the path crosses the promontory of Monte Calamita between Mediterranean scrub and views of the sea, with views of the bays and the hills of eastern Elba. The heart of the itinerary is the Capoliveri Mines area, characterized by iron-rich rocks, terraces, and old mining facilities. The contrast between the red of the earth, the green of the vegetation, and the blue of the sea makes this scene particularly evocative. The return follows the eastern side of the promontory up to Capoliveri.
