Boat tour 5 Terre from Levanto: Swim at VernazzaA boat tour from Levanto along the Cinque Terre coast visits all five villages—Monterosso, Vernazzo, Coniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore—aboard a 34-foot boat built in 2025. The tour runs 3.5 hours and includes lunch, an aperitif with local appetizers, snorkeling equipment and towels; you stop to swim in the marine protected area, usually near Vernazzo. The boat holds a maximum of 12 people, and departures from Monterosso run 30 minutes later than from Levanto.Is it for me?Book the lunch tour if you want to see all five villages from the water and swim in the protected area without arranging stops or food separately; choose the sunset option if you prefer an evening departure and want to watch the light change over the coast instead.
Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Tour with Aperitif & SnorkelingYou’ll feel the Ligurian breeze as you cruise past Cinque Terre’s villages at sunset, stopping to swim in hidden coves before sharing an aperitif of local wine and snacks on deck. With a small group and a guide who knows every story behind these cliffs, expect laughter, golden light, and moments you’ll want to hold onto long after you’re back on land.

The morning departure and early return leave your afternoon free, and snorkeling gear plus a full brunch are handled for you.
Portovenere & Three Islands boat tour from La SpeziaA 4-hour boat tour from La Spezia that sails the Ligurian coast to Portovenere and three islands, with 1 to 1.5 hours to explore the UNESCO site on foot. The boat stops at Cala dell'Ammiraglio, a cove reachable only by sea, where you swim in clear water; on the return, limoncello and focaccia with pesto are served on board. A professional skipper and an assistant guide the tour in English or Italian, and the group stays small.Is it for me?The 4-hour duration leaves room for a morning or afternoon in La Spezia before or after—it's not a full-day commitment—but it's long enough to spend real time in Portovenere and swim at a cove most visitors never reach. Book this if you want the coast and the islands without renting a car or arranging your own boat.

The tour includes life jackets, leather seats and a t-top awning; you spend roughly 75 minutes on the water and the rest ashore or in Portovenere's shops, restaurants and beaches.Is it for me?The tour runs 2.5 hours total with most of that time on the water or in Portovenere's village center, so it suits a half-day plan without long walking or early starts. If you want to see the islands' ruins and caves from the water without arranging your own boat, this fixed route and guide handle the navigation.

Boat rides and train transfers are included; lunch is not, but your guide suggests places. The boat runs only April through October, so winter visits use trains instead at no extra cost. You're back at the port in time to board, with no group to slow you down or wait for.Is it for me?Book this if you're arriving by cruise ship and want to see Cinque Terre without arranging your own transport or worrying about missing the boat—the guide handles timing and logistics so you can focus on the villages.
