Full description

If you want influencer-proof photos without the need to apply a filter, hop in a canoe in the province of La Spezia and set off on a three-hour tour to discover the colourful villages of Monterosso and Vernazza. The Cinque Terre are famous for the bright colours of the houses that populate them and will give your photos a unique effect.

During the activity, you will paddle along the coast of Monterosso admiring both its modern and historical parts and then proceed to Vernazza where you will have free time to visit it or take a swim in the sea.

Whichever option you choose, the surrounding landscape will enchant you and provide an exciting experience.

What we will do

We will meet at the meeting point in Monterosso al Mare (SP), where our canoe instructor will be waiting for us. After he has handed over all the necessaryequipment, we will reach the seashore and learn the correct techniques for paddling in a briefing lasting a few minutes.

Shortly afterwards we will set off on our tour to discover the villages of Monterosso and Vernazza. On board the canoe we will paddle for about 2½ hours on the waters that wash the Cinque Terre, following the coast of Monterosso and admiring both its more modern and touristic part and its historical part. The latter is characterised by a high bell tower, a medieval tower and a bunker dating back to World War II. We will also make a few stops on board the canoe to listen to the instructor explain the history of the place.

If the sea permits, we will also stop at the Maimuna cave, which according to legend is named after the maiden who hid there to escape the Saracen pirates. After visiting the cave we will proceed to Vernazza, the second largest village in the Cinque Terre and famous for its amphitheatre-shaped harbour and the bright colours of its houses. Once we reach our destination, we will make a stop ashore for about 15 minutes during which we can visit the town or take advantage of a swim in the sea.

Now in tune with the beautiful natural surroundings, we will return to the starting point.

The activity has a total duration of 3 hours.
