Highlights
- Monterosso al Mare - The northernmost village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is divided into two sides: the historic center and the “new” side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel that connects the two. Monterosso is larger than the other towns and is the only one that offers beach services, making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre.
- Vernazza - Vernazza the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most fascinating with a beautiful marina and the Church of Santa Margherita d’Antiochia which stands right on the water. Here you will also see the Torre del Belforte which sits right on the harbor as a protective lighthouse for the small village.
- Corniglia - Corniglia: lying 100 meters high on a cliff, Corniglia is the only one of the towns without a port and has a panoramic terrace from which you can see Manarola and Riomaggiore to the south and Vernazza and Monterosso to the north.
- Manarola - Manarola: is located at the other end of the Via del Amore and is part of the municipality of Riomaggiore. Known for its wine production, Manarola produces the only dessert wine called Sciacchetrà found only in this area.
- Riomaggiore - While we continue to sail along the coast of the Cinque Terre villages, we meet Riomaggiore. With brightly colored houses built vertically on the surrounding hills, Riomaggiore is the second largest of the five towns and is widely known for excellent diving spots off its coast in the marine protected area that stretches all along the Cinque Terre. Here you will also see where the famous Via del Amore pedestrian path begins, leading to nearby Manarola.

Would recommend - Amazing sunset boat tour with friendly guide Simone. We enjoyed great information about the villages, as well as the most delicious wine and homemade pesto. We also stopped half way for a swim in the beautiful sea at sunset. Was a highlight of our trip. Simone was an incredible host.

Definitely recommend - despite sea sickness - Such a lovely way to spend an evening! Even though I get horribly sea sick, and was quite nauseous for most of the trip, we had a blast. It was great to see all five towns from the water, and hear a bit about each of them from our guide. We were offered drinks as well as focaccia and pesto which were all great. It was a small group of only 6 passengers so it felt nice and calm. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent way to see Cinque Terre - Simone was a great host, offering several beverage options and delicious focaccia and pesto. The boat was very comfortable and we enjoyed hearing about the different villages as Simone shared various facts and other information about the region. There were a total of 3 couples so it felt more personal. Highly recommend to get away from the crowds for awhile.

Highly Recommend - Such an amazing experience! Our Captain, Sarah, was so kind and hospitable. She gave great information as we passed all 5 cities, answered our questions, and provided extras we weren’t expecting (another village and a swim stop). Can’t recommend this enough. Such a fun addition to our exploration of this part of Italy!

Unforgettable experience - Great to be in a small boat to see the view of each of the 5 villages from the water. Yummy home made pesto and focaccia.
We saw dolphins as we made our way back as the sun set.

Amazing Views and Sunset! - Overall, the sunset boat tour was very good! Amazing water views of each of the villages and sunset plus the opportunity to take a swim in the sea. The pesto tasting and local white wine were also quick good! Our tour captain was quite enthusiastic and humorous but his authentic Italian accent was quite thick which made him somewhat hard to understand, but otherwise a very pleasurable experience!

Pessima experiencia - O passeio não aconteceu porque o marinheiro passou mal e tivemos que voltar.
Quero o meu dinheiro de volta.
Sai do Brasil para conhecer as vilas e não aconteceu.
Não tive a chance de ter outro passeio no lugar.
The trip didn't happen because the sailor felt ill and was comfortable returning.
I want my money back.
I left Brazil to visit the villages and it didn't happen.
I didn't have the chance to have another tour there.
