Private gozzo tour of the Cinque Terre

Obelix and the waves of the Ligurian Sea washing the Cinque Terre await you for an exclusive experience. Who is Obelix? The gozzo that will take you to visit the coastal villages from an unusual point of view in a setting dedicated just to you and your company.

Listen to the stories of these lands and the biodiversity of theProtected Marine Area of the Cinque Terre, but above all take your mask and dive fearlessly into one of the coves between Corniglia and Vernazza. Here you can dive to admire the incredible variety of fish that inhabit the seabed.

And if you can't resist the Ligurian focaccia, no problem: on board you'll find it waiting for you too!

What we will do

The tour will start in Manarola, at the time selected during the booking process. Here we will get to know the skipper and board the gozzo Obelix, now at our complete disposal. We will be lulled by the waves as we sail along the Cinque Terre coastline.

We are in one of Italy's most famous postcards and also aProtected Marine Area: we will have the skipper tell us all the stories and anecdotes about these enchanting waters.

Down the coast we will be able to admire the five villages that rise up on the slopes and, when we arrive between Corniglia and Vernazza, two of the most picturesque, we will try a lesser-known cove for a 20-minute swim.

We can dive into the water and swim, but if we want to go down and look at the bottom more closely, we can take our snorkelling mask and go and observe the fish that inhabit the seabed.

Time to head back up and return to Manarola, but not before a cold drink and, above all, a piece of focaccia to recharge our batteries and experience the essence of all-Ligurian goodness on board our gozzo.

The activity lasts 2½ hours.
