Great trip. Chiara was a pleasure to deal with and the excursion was very enjoyable. Great way to see Monterosa and Vernazza. She was a great tour guide too and would highly recommend this trip.

Great trip. Chiara was a pleasure to deal with and the excursion was very enjoyable. Great way to see Monterosa and Vernazza. She was a great tour guide too and would highly recommend this trip.
Exceptional communication by the tour operator. I had a wonderful time kayaking and enjoying the water. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.
This was a fantastic way to start the day! Nice and quiet, calm, no waves, just easy kayaking. Tour guide was very friendly and great. Spoke english for us that did not speak Italian. We were able to go into a cave or two and swim in a little lagoon type area next to the rocks. Even got to rinse off with a fresh water waterfall! Great all around experience and would highly recommend.
I had never been kayaking, yet I spent 3 truly pleasant hours (trust me, they fly by); Chiara is truly the best and conveys her passion even when recounting all the interesting details of the area. If you are looking for an alternative and refreshing activity, this is perfect!
Awesome experience! We lucked out with a very calm day at sea. We stopped at 4 places including a waterfall, Vernazza, a narrow cave and a wider cave. We saw an octopus in the bay at Vernazza. My kids lost their minds. Our guide Alesseo was super kind and stayed with us since our family was a slower pace. We have 3 kids and used 2 double kayaks and a single one (for our oldest who is 12 years old). The 12 yr old made it with lots of encouragement. We were gone about 3 hours.
We had a wonderful kayaking tour in Monterosso! It was an amazing way to explore the beautiful coastline and see the area from the water. Chiara was very knowledgeable, friendly, and shared interesting information about the coastline and the local history throughout the trip. The pace was perfect, the scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience was well organized. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cinque Terre. Thank you for a memorable adventure!
Chiara was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the area. Was the perfect distance and a great way to see the coast.
Chiara was amazing! The whole paddle felt very safe and comfortable and she is super knowledgeable about Cinque Terre history and culture. She was eager to interact with everyone on the tour and made the whole experience fun. Definitely recommend!
We absolutely loved this tour. Chiara is a great host not just for the kayak tour but also generally for CT. A true local she has much to share. The tour is a great way to see the coast. We loved kayaking into caves and the beautiful scenery. We found the paddling very easy as the waters were super calm (by Aussie standards!). Highly recommend.
This tour was so beautiful, we loved it. Ciarra was a terrific guide, she had interesting insights into life in CT being a genuine local. She was able to manage very different kayaking skill levels. We found the kayaking easy as there are no currents and for us only a gentle swell. We paddled deep inside sea caves, it was fantastic. Great way to see CT.
