Itinerary
The northernmost village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is divided into two sides: the historic center and the “new” side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel that connects the two. Monterosso is larger than the other towns and is the only one that offers beach services, making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre.
Vernazza the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most fascinating with a beautiful marina and the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia which stands right on the water. Here you will also see the Torre del Belforte which sits right on the harbor as a protective lighthouse for the small village.
Corniglia: lying 100 meters high on a cliff, Corniglia is the only one of the towns without a port and has a panoramic terrace from which you can see Manarola and Riomaggiore to the south and Vernazza and Monterosso to the north.
Manarola: is located at the other end of the Via del Amore and is part of the municipality of Riomaggiore. Known for its wine production, Manarola produces the only dessert wine called Sciacchetrà found only in this area.
While we continue to sail along the coast of the Cinque Terre villages, we meet Riomaggiore. With brightly colored houses built vertically on the surrounding hills, Riomaggiore is the second largest of the five towns and is widely known for excellent diving spots off its coast in the marine protected area that stretches all along the Cinque Terre. Here you will also see where the famous Via del Amore pedestrian path begins, leading to nearby Manarola.

Great way to see and learn a little bit about Cinque Terra. Our guide was great and the scenery was too.

Spectacular day
We had such a great time on the boat with Tom! We enjoyed the views of all of the 5 lands and the history lessons that came with it. Plus lots of current, helpful information about each part. The homemade pesto and focaccia were delicious and the wine and beers hit the spot. Thanks for a luxurious afternoon!

Wonderful experience!
Sara our boat captain was wonderful! She took our family of 5 all along the coast and to great swimming spots. She made it so enjoyable that we decided to book again for the next day!

Sara was wonderful and...
Sara was wonderful and shared a lot of history and stories about the Cinque Terre region. The foccacia bread was yummy as well as the drinks. The water was amazing to swim in!

Excellent experience!
Sara was the perfect captain! The ride was enjoyable and the views beautiful. Boat was roomy and refreshments provided were a very sweet touch. The walk to the meeting spot from the La Spezia Centrale was roughly 20-30 minutes. Leave extra time.

Great time
Our favorite activity of many. Seeing cinque terre from the boat was amazing. We had a great captain and it was so hot that we took several swim breaks along the tour. I was able to add an hour to extend the trip. HIGHLY recommend.

Excellent Cinque Terre boat tour
Sarah was an excellent tour guide and matched our pace and interests very well. She gave us interesting facts and insights about all of the Cinque Terre villages/towns and stopped so we could snorkel for a bit during the tour. She provided us with white wine, pesto, focaccia, and fruit to snack on and it was a beautiful introduction to the Liguria region.
