Each of these villages is characterized by colorful houses and vineyards clinging to the steep terraces created on the coast. The ports are crowded with fishing boats and in the typical trattorias it is possible to try seafood specialties, as well as the famous Ligurian seasoning: pesto. The Blue Path, a hiking path that stretches along the coast, connects the Cinque Terre with each other and offers splendid views of the sea.

Lovely ride - A very relaxing time. Sadly, our day was a little overcast but we still really enjoyed our boat ride with Giovanni. As we passed each of the Cinque Terre towns from the sea, he gave a short description of each one and stopped the boat at interesting spots for us to take photos. Halfway through we had a little break for some prosecco and soda. It was wonderful to see the towns looking like the photos we've seen in magazines. But the best part was having down time just enjoying the beauty of the area.

Unforgettable tour of Cinque Terre - Giovanni was a charming and capable captain. We felt safe throughout the boat ride. We got to see all of Cinque Terre from the point of view of the sea. Truly unforgettable.

Fantastic, relaxing boat trip with friendly, knowledgeable boat captain/guide. - Extremely nice experience. Boat was piloted by a very affable man who had lived in the area for a long time and had lots of great insight into the local history, etc..
Very relaxing, and got so many great views of the coastline and the 5 villages. Having just been to most of them earlier in the day by train, it was very cool to see them all again from that perspective. We got lots of amazing photos as the sun went down. They also have a cooler full of wine and prosecco and it flowed freely throughout the excursion. There were 8 of us on the boat, and everyone seemed to have a very good time. Perfect size boat for the number of people.

Very enjoyable trip! - Really enjoyed this trip. There were only nine of us onboard. The captain (Saul ?) was very friendly and informative, providing history on the area.
We stopped at a nice swimming spot (for those who wanted to swim). Saw a fabulous sunset.
Plenty of Prosecco - and other drinks - offered!
Was a little pricey but well worth the money!

A must do in Cinque Terre! Worth every penny! - We had an incredible time on this sunset tour, even though it was a bit cloudy and we didn’t get to see the full sunset. The views of the Cinque Terre were unmatched. It was nice to relax on the boat, take in the views, and have a few drinks. It was also nice to be able to swim if we wanted. Our Capitan, Sul, was amazing; making sure everyone was taken care of, and playing great music (bangers only). We would highly recommend!!

Wonderful views from water - Great way to see the five towns of Cinque Terre. Met some nice fellow passengers on our boat with a total of six passengers... the perfect size. Shared two bottles of local 🇮🇹🥂🍾. Thought we were going to get some snacks and the captains English was a bit hard to understand when he spoke about the history of the area. That's the only two reasons I'm not giving it five starts. But I can go back and check if snacks were included. Perhaps some more 🥂 would of been nice too!

Great on the boat... but a bit disorganized on land - Once we got on the boat, we had a fabulous time - our captain was so friendly and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed having a drink and chatting with the other people on our boat! It was great to see Cinque Terre from the water - the perfect way to end our trip.
Getting down to the boat was a bit of a mess - we arrived on time (20 minutes prior to our departure, per the instructions on our booking page) and no other guests were there. We waited almost 40 minutes to go down to the boat, and found out that most of the guests on our boat were told to meet at different times... it was frustrating and didn't start the night off in the best way. Perhaps they mixed two groups together, but it would've been great if we had clear communication on what was happening and when to expect to leave so we could've grabbed a coffee and come back instead of standing outside of the meeting point in the drizzly weather. Otherwise, it was a great experience!
