Nice experience

Kayaking trip sit and top for sunset, accompanied by Gabriel, small group. Discovery of cavities and crossing with sunset view, at the top, friendly with a small stop to drink a glass of local white. Small flat a little expensive for 1h30 outing.

Fun little excursion with great views

The kayaking trip was a fun little excursion to via two Cinque Terre towns from the water. Our guide, Diego, provided a great commentary and detail on life in the towns. We also got to explore a sea cave and swim for a while in the sea.

Fun experience and a chance to escape the crowds

Really fun and a chance to escape the crowds. My husband forgot his swimming suit & water shoes in a blue plastic bag after changing at the end 😞 and plans to come back and pick them up tomorrow 😎. Susan Miller, North Vancouver , BC.

Adventure, education, workout, and fun all in one activity.

This was an amazing adventure - views of Riomaggiore and Manarola, a great workout, cave exploration, and swimming with sea life! Our guide, Flavio, did an excellent job of guiding us to places we would not have explored by ourselves. We paddled all the way to Manarola, stopping at caves along the way, swimming, taking photos, and learning about the history of the area. When we got back, the owner, Francesco, asked us what we had planned for the evening, suggested a restaurant (Rio Bistro) and even called over and got us a table. It was an unforgettable adventure followed by an incredible dinner.

Rio kayak tour !

Clavio our guide was informative, fun, adventurous and we had a great time. 2 hours of sea kayaking is not for everyone- we doubled up instead of 5 single kayaks. Sore back for my husband who has regular back issues - so be ready to work out!! :) Did much more than I thought we could Do. Caves- swimming- cliff jump- all incredible!! Happy Family

Amazing experience

My sister in law and I had an amazing experience! We loved this kayak tour. We kayaked, snorkled, swam, cliff jumped, and learned about the beautiful villages. It wasn't too difficult to kayak the sea although at times it was a little challenging with the waves.
