Activity itinerary

Portovenere

30m
Admission ticket included

The tour begins in Portovenere, the gateway to the Cinque Terre and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Seen from the sea, the row of colourful tower houses lining the harbour creates an immediate spectacle. Sailing past the village, you can clearly spot the Church of San Pietro, perched on the rocky promontory, and the Doria Castle rising above. Starting from Portovenere means immediately immersing yourself in a panorama where history, architecture, and nature blend together—a first glimpse that sets the tone for the beauty of the entire tour.

Grotta di Byron (Pass by)

Seen from the sea, Byron’s Cave is a striking natural amphitheatre, with sheer cliffs and waves breaking to create light and foam effects. Named after the English poet Byron, who found inspiration here and was said to swim in these waters, it remains one of Portovenere’s most evocative landmarks, where nature and culture meet

Monesteroli

1h
Admission ticket included

From the sea, you can glimpse the tiny hamlet of Monesteroli, clinging to the cliffside and reachable only by its steep stone staircase that makes it truly unique. The houses seem suspended between rock and sea, offering a rare and fascinating view that reveals all its dramatic beauty only from the water.

Riomaggiore (Pass by)

The first of the Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore reveals itself from the sea with its colourful houses descending steeply towards the small harbour. From the boat, the striking view of the village clinging to the cliffs perfectly sets the tone and atmosphere of the Cinque Terre experience.

Manarola (Pass by)

The second of the Cinque Terre, Manarola stands out with its village perched dramatically on the cliff overlooking the sea. From the boat, the row of colourful houses appears to rise straight from the rocks, creating one of the most photographed and iconic views in all of Liguria.

Corniglia (Pass by)

The third of the Cinque Terre, Corniglia is the only village not directly on the sea. From the boat, it appears perched high on the cliffs, with its clustered houses set on terraces surrounded by vineyards. Seen from the water, it offers a distinctive and unique view, highlighting its bond with the land rather than the harbour.

Vernazza (Pass by)

The fourth of the Cinque Terre, Vernazza is one of the most striking villages when seen from the sea, with its natural harbour nestled in the bay and overlooked by the Doria Castle tower. From the boat, you can admire the unique harmony between the village, the cliffs, and the sea. Here, you can either go ashore to explore the village, with its alleys and seaside square, or take advantage of the stop for a refreshing swim in the clear waters of the bay.

Monterosso al Mare

The fifth and last of the Cinque Terre, Monterosso is the largest and flattest village. From the boat, its wide sandy beaches—unique in the area—stand out, along with the village divided between the historic centre and the modern seafront. Here, guests can choose either to go ashore and explore the village, with its alleys and seaside promenade, or to enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters before heading back
