Cinque Terre: boat tour in the Cinque Terre National Park

Cruise the Cinque Terre National Park and Marine Protected Area from Manarola. Swim in clear water, explore hidden coves, and enjoy views of the cliffside villages.

Hop on board in Manarola and experience the Cinque Terre in a way you simply can’t from land. With a local skipper and a sturdy, comfortable boat, you’ll cruise through the Cinque Terre National Park and its Marine Protected Area, discovering the coastline’s most scenic corners. As you navigate along the shore, look out for secluded beaches and hidden coves—perfect spots to stop, take photos, and soak up the atmosphere. When conditions allow, you can jump into the clear water for a refreshing swim and enjoy a closer look at the protected marine environment. Whether you’re here for adventure or pure relaxation, there’s time to unwind onboard, sunbathe, and take in the postcard views of the perched villages. This tour is ideal for travelers who want a flexible sea experience: enjoy the coastline, capture unforgettable pictures, and—if you choose a sunset time slot—watch the light change over the villages from the water. By booking with a local operator based in Manarola, you’re also supporting the Cinque Terre economy and helping keep the experience authentic. Meeting is simple: head to the end of Via Birolli in Manarola, right in front of Bar Enrica, and get ready to discover what Cinque Terre hides from those who only visit by land.
