Portofino Kayak Tour
Description
Above and below the sea along the unspoiled coastline of Portofino Park: the best solution for a unique outdoors experience. The tour takes you to explore Portofino’s unique territory and hidden gems, sea and land: “la piazzetta” and the Lighthouse of Portofino, the eighteen-century Church of San Giorgio, leaving space for possible sightseeing of sea mammals, birds and wild animals. If you choose the Kayak & Snorkeling Tour, during the summer season, you can do a snorkeling guided tour by a local qualified guide and instructor.

We had a great time kayaking with our guide and group. Great way to experience Italy and cool off on a hot day.
We are happy you had a great experience with us Laura!
Great location and the team members were super helpful despite our difficulties (we didn't expect work to be closed on the way to the tour, delaying our arrival). We were able to enjoy the water and breathtaking location.
Rushed. Not enjoyable and old kayaks. I would have preferred a more relaxed approach to kayaking. More time to enjoy the scenery.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the experience felt rushed and didn’t fully meet your expectations. Our goal is always to offer a relaxing and enjoyable time on the water, and we regret that this wasn’t your experience. Regarding the kayaks, we’d like to clarify that we update our equipment regularly—most of our kayaks are replaced every couple of years to ensure safety and comfort. That said, we appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue improving both the pace and overall experience of our tours. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for a more enjoyable and relaxed outing.
We had a wonderful trip with Andre as guide. He gave us the history of both the geological landscape and the history of Portofino and the area around. We were surprisingly the only couple there that day, so we got a private tour. After the kayaking we got to keep our change of clothes in the lockers while we got to swim at one of the few sand beaches in the area just outside their store. Can highly recommend Outdoor Portofino!
Phillipo was an excellent guide during our Kayak tour. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and took us around to see some beautiful sites around Portofino. The weather was also nice and the time of day allowed us experience to more enjoyable with smaller crowds.
This was a great experience. The kayak tour was a perfect balance of outdoor fun and history of Portofino. The snorkeling was amazing!
We really enjoyed this tour. It was a bit of a walk from the port, uphill, but not too bad. Just give yourselves plenty of time. I would say 20 minutes if you are a fast walker. Andrea was a great guide. We are not experienced kayakers, same with the other family on the tour. Andrea was great with making sure we were OK. Even our young teen kids did great! But it was a lot of hard work! It was one of our favorite tours of the trip.
This was such a great day! The guides were competent and patient. The kayak route was really nice. We got to see Portofino and some open water. It definitely takes some physical exploration but worth it! The snorkeling was good too. Saw lots of fish and plant life.
This tour was awesome! Must do! Tina was so informative and my family had a blast! Such a wonderful way to see Portofino! And the snorkeling was amazing, saw lots of marine life. Highly recommend .
Easily the highlight of my entire trip! Being able to dodge all of the crowds you find in Portofino and get an alternative view of the town is well worth it. Very easy activity for beginners and simple to get to also. A MUST try in my opinion.
