Monterosso al Mare
Meet 10 minutes before the departure time at the boarding dock in Monterosso (where the ferries leave) and start of the boat tour.
Monterosso al Mare
Going out of the port, you will admire from the sea Monterosso al Mare: the largest and most visited of the villages; admire its large beach, lined with colourful umbrellas and spiral up through the village.
Corniglia
Further along, you will see Corniglia: the smallest village of the Cinque Terre, built far above the ocean on the cliffs.
Vernazza
From Corniglia, you will depart for Vernazza, the beauty queen of the Cinque Terre: the most popular and the most photogenic one. Vernazza’s shoreline stands out because of the iconic colourful buildings along the cliffs and the beautiful church tower that looks out onto the bay.
Manarola
The tour continues to Manarola: the village is perched atop jagged ocean cliffs and surrounded by lush-green vineyards. It has an incredible spit of land where the most famous Cinque Terre Instagram photos are taken.
Riomaggiore
The last village of Cinque Terre is Riomaggiore, a picturesque coast-side village with post-card perfect panoramas at every bend.

Great sunset cruise!
We went in the sunset cruise with Luca and Tatiana and had a great time! Luca shared a lot of info at each stop of cinque terre and Tatiana was tons of fun and showed us how to feed the birds which was a really fun time! Sunset views were perfect and it was lovely seeing the cities from the water with the golden hour colors, would recommend!

A great sunset tour
We went on a tour with Luka and Tatiana on 25 September 2026 and the tour was so entertaining and enjoyable. We had Prosecco, snacks, focaccia, limoncello and sweet treats. Both guides were fantastic but Tatiana went above and beyond with service, making us very welcome, taking photos of us, encouraging us to swim, and making sure we all had fun. Would 100% do again.
