Overview

The best way to experience the Cinque Terre — away from the crowds. Cruise along the coastline on a small group boat, swim in crystal-clear water, and discover hidden spots only accessible by sea while taking in all five villages from the water. Led by a local skipper, this relaxed and scenic experience offers a unique perspective of the coastline, far from the busy ferries and crowded viewpoints. You’ll have time to swim, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the Cinque Terre at your own pace.
