Cinque Terre from the water

This sunset boat tour to see the Cinque Terre villages from the water is a must see. Our experienced real captain had local knowledge and memories from when he was a boy growing up in the area. You will see each unique village for what it offers and have spectacular views basked in golden light as the sun slowly sets behind you. Drinks are offered and a swim in a pristine little bay with a sandy bottom and clear water. Take a towel and something warm for the ride home. Do yourself a favour and do something like this while you're in this world heritage site.

Perfect day, perfect tour

We had the most amazing day. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Because of that we had the described itinerary with plenty of time at each stop. Jonathan was an amazing tour guide. With limited time in Italy but wanting to see as much as possible, I'm so glad we booked this tour.

Really Enjoyable Boat Trip along the Cinque Terre coastline

We had a really enjoyable time on the Cinque Terre Hybrid Boat Trip from Monterosso. The crew (Luca & Eleanor, I think) were excellent. Luca shared stories about the various villages when we stopped. Eleanor keep us supplied with drinks & took photos and generally made sure everyone as having a good time. The views from the boat are fantastic and the swim stop was fun too! Recommended !

Yummy pesto

Fun activity to do with family. I make pesto at home but still learned alot about how it is made in the region and came away with some hints that I will use. Local wine and cheese was also nice addition to class. Would recommend class to anyone wanting to know more about region. You also do not have to know anything about cooking to have fun in the class.

Blair_G, Oct 2026

Our tour was amazing!...

Our tour was amazing! David did a beautiful job at navigating between each stop and making sure we were all informed and taken care of. He gave us little tidbits about each location, but also allowed us time to explore on our own, and even gave us a special experience by calling ahead for a lunch reservation and had cold prosecco waiting in the car after a difficult hike up a massive hill! There were 6 people in our tour. There is a bit of walking needed in this tour, and lots of stairs, so just be informed about that if you have mobility concerns. Overall an absolutely lovely day!

Don't miss this beautiful beach area.

Beautiful! Don't miss seeing this. It was much warmer than we expected. A good way to get a taste of the area. Not really enough free time to change into and out of swimwear for a swim in the ocean. Sandros our tour guide is amazing & professional. He's very experienced at managing his tour. He always made us feel extra special and cared for. No man left behind.

Great to see Cinque Terre from the sea

A great way to see the 5 towns from the water, and get a different perspective from being on land. Sea was a little choppy but the captain navigated it well so it was a comfortable trip. Extremely friendly guide and captain, generous snacks and beverages.

Our guide Loradana did everything in her power to get us through the day with the horrific weather. Unfortunately we didn’t see much because if an orange alert but I must say she was amazing. We will definitely be back and will book this excursion. Hopefully we can have her again!

relaxing and refreshing with great views

One of the best things I’ve done on this trip! Highly recommend if you like being in/on the water!! A super chill, relaxing boat trip to see all 5 cities from sea. Captain was a local and gave good history. Nice, long refreshing swim. Also snorkel but not much fish to see. Local snacks, focaccia… (not the usual bag if chips you get in US for a snack). So relaxing and refreshing with great views. Calm seas that day. Would do again!! Matt 1&2 were great!! Pickup at main harbor though don’t have a billboard sign. Look for blue boat. They respond to texts if lost/confused.

Best part of our trip

We were so pleasantly surprised - we booked this tour without knowing too much about what we were doing. It was the perfect morning on Ivan's boat. Our favorite part was the crystal clear bright blue waters he took us to and we jumped in and swam for a while. The boat was perfectly sized and roomy for our family of four. Highly recommend!

Best Way to Spend the Evening in 5terre!

Incredible views you can only see from the water. It was a long tour, but no surprises and it was worth the money. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, there was a nice selection of beverages, and pro tip: when you get the option to go swimming in the gorgeous turquoise water… say yes!
