Full description
The eternal dilemma: better the literary charm of the Golfo dei Poeti or the picture-postcard houses of the Cinque Terre? Spoiler: you don't have to choose. Because we take you to see everything, but really everything, in a single day!
Get ready for an 8-hour Ligurian 'grand tour': we'll set sail from La Spezia to explore the Gulf of Poets, with its islands and villages, by dinghy, and then push on to the Cinque Terre National Park.
Between navigation, shore stops and dives, you will also have the pleasure of enjoying an aperitif on board!
What we will do
The appointment is at 10: 00 a. m. at the meeting point in La Spezia (SP) . Awaiting us will be the skipper who will accompany us on our excursion!
Climbing aboard the dinghy, we will begin our navigation exploring the Gulf of Poets: we will admire San Terenzo and Tellaro, circumnavigate the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, and make two stops ashore of about 30 minutes each to visit the villages of Lerici and Portovenere.
Leaving the Gulf, we will head for the Cinque Terre. We will sail along the entire coastline admiring Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso from the sea. Depending on weather and sea conditions and preferences, we will make a 1-hour shore stop in Monterosso or Vernazza to stroll through the alleys and breathe in the unique atmosphere of these UNESCO heritage sites.
During the day, there will be no shortage of moments of relaxation: we will stop for a 30-minute swim in the transparent waters of the Natural Park, on Palmaria Island or under the church of Portovenere. An aperitif with Ligurian specialities such as focaccia and vegetable pies will be served on board, accompanied by soft drinks, beer, prosecco or Spritz.
The activity will last about 8 hours (duration may be reduced depending on seasonal light hours) .
