Get a taste of Cinque Terre on this 4-hour tour from Manarola, Cinque Terre, that combines a pesto demonstration, a boat cruise along the coast, and lunch. Travel to Cinque Terre via train with your group, then end the tour in Vernazza with a Cinque Terre trail pass to explore further if you wish.

Starting from Manarola, while enjoying a welcome drink, you will sail across the entire Cinque Terre coast, to Punta Montenero which closes the south-east side of the wonderful Cinque Terre National Park. You will also have the opportunity to go for a swim near the coast, diving into the clear waters of the Ligurian Sea. Once everyone is back on the boat, we will head towards Punta Mesco, the most northwestern point of the National Park. From there you can admire the fascinating landscape made of lights and colors and - if you are lucky enough - you will see dolphins playing on the surface of the sea. On the tour we stop to take pictures of the Cinque Terre villages while our skipper explains and gives more detailed information for the Cinque Terre villages. We stop at some places to swim and snorkel, and there is an onboard aperitif with local wine, soft drinks, snacks.

After pick-up from your ship at Livorno, Italy’s Cinque Terre is a bit like a beauty pageant, with one village after another competing to have the most charming backstreets, the cutest pastel buildings and the most Instagrammable views. Just when you think you’ve found the most beautiful spot, another one comes along and blows you away again. But like real-life beauty queens, each of the five villages has its own different charms. Some are showy and others are a bit more subtle – like Corniglia. It might not have Monterosso’s beach or Riomaggiore’s colourful harbour, but it has its own understated beauty – which is why I chose it as the base for your trip to the Cinque Terre. *Explore the Towns of Manarola, Vernazza and Corniglia *Enjoy lunch in a beautiful borgo like Vernazza (not included) *Enjoy the wonderful atmosfere and have a wine tasting in Corniglia
