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.

Fun Cinque Terre excursion! - Simone was an incredible guide. He was very friendly and gave us a lot of history of the area. He brought fresh pesto and focaccia to eat. The town of Porto Venere was a beautiful experience. I highly recommend this tour.

An Incredible Experience - This tour was worth every penny that it cost. Our boat captain, Sarah, was very capable and sweet. She was friendly and knowledgeable of the area but not at all intrusive. My 86 year old mother accompanied us and was able to get in and out of the boat easily. I highly recommend this tour.

Relaxing and Picturesque - A wonderful boat ride along the 5 picturesque towns of Cinque Terre. Simone was a pleasure to listen to and he knew so much history of the sights. His mom’s pesto was delicious! If you are looking for a 2 hour relaxing boat ride, this is the one. And you must take a dip in the water. So refreshing.

Great boat ride around the bay! - Had the best time with Simone our captain. He took us around the bay explaining the areas and history. Also took a quick swim. He dropped us off to walk around the Porto Venere town and grab a quick bite! It was a fun ride and time did fly!

Great experience! - Simone was a wonderful tour guide, sharing the very interesting perspective of a local and finding us a safe spot to swim away from the jellyfish! His mother's pesto was also amazing! Lovely way to spend a relaxing afternoon away from the crowded beaches.
