Full description
Do you need hiking boots and lungs of steel to see the Cinque Terre? Wrong. The best way to admire this paradise is lulled by the waves, with the wind in your hair and a glass of prosecco in your hand!
Set off from La Spezia for a boat trip to discover Portovenere and all the villages in the National Park. Between open bars, a light lunch (optional) and several swimming stops in the clear waters, you will experience a day of pure discovery and relaxation.
What we will do
The meeting point is 15 minutes before departure, at 10 a. m., at the meeting point in La Spezia (SP) . Skipper and hostess will welcome us on board the 7. 5-metre boat (up to 7 participants) . After a quick briefing on safety equipment and available comforts, such as fridge and shower, we will set sail towards the heart of the Cinque Terre National Park.
We will start the day with a breakfast (fruit juice and croissants) as we sail past scenic Portovenere, admiring Palmaria Island and the famous Grotta Byron. We will sail along the coast, stopping to swim in the turquoise waters of the Persico beach and Punta Pineda.
We will then continue towards the villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola and Corniglia, stopping right in front of the villages to take incredible photos while the guide tells us about the history of the area and curiosities about the production of Sciacchetrà wine. Arriving near Vernazza, we will make another stop for a regenerating dive using the snorkelling equipment provided.
Around 13: 00 we will land in Monterosso for a one-hour shore break, ideal for exploring the village. Those who prefer to stay on board can enjoy a light lunch with local specialities (optional) such as pasta al pesto or caprese, while sipping cool drinks from the open bar.
In the afternoon, we will resume sailing towards Corniglia, where we will discover a suggestive sea cave before heading towards the locality of 'Le Rosse'. During the last leg, we will relax with an aperitif of focaccia and prosecco, followed by a taste of the traditional Cinque Terre limoncello. We will admire the last panoramic views on the way back, enjoying the sun on the bow and stern sundecks.
Return is expected around 17: 00, after about 7 hours of excursion time in total .
