Overview

Quotes Logo Cinque Terre Hybrid Boat Tour from Monterosso offers an amazing way to see the beautiful Cinque Terre! This three-hour boat tour starts in Monterosso and takes you along the coast, where you can see all five villages from the sea.

Imagine floating on crystal-clear water, surrounded by colorful villages that look like they're painted on the cliffs. This tour is special because it only takes 12 people, so it feels like a private adventure. You can even jump into the sea for a swim in hidden bays that you can only get to by boat! As the boat glides along, watch for Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, each offering picture-perfect views. The tour returns to Monterosso al Mare, completing the scenic loop.

What's included? The tour provides snacks, soda, bottled water, and even prosecco! A professional skipper will guide the way, and an English-speaking assistant is there to help. Please note that hotel pick-up and drop-off are not included, and snorkeling gear isn't provided (but you can bring your own or buy it on board). Quotes Logo
