About this tour
A three-hour boat tour departing La Spezia that weaves between the Cinque Terre islands and Portovenere's rocky shores. You'll swim in transparent waters with a snorkelling instructor, drift past hidden coves, and finish with an aperitif as the sun drops over the Ligurian Sea. The boat carries a maximum of eight guests, a multilingual guide, and a curated soundtrack that shifts with the light.

What to expect
You'll board a small boat and motor toward the archipelago, stopping at quieter anchorages where the water invites you in. After suiting up with provided snorkelling gear, you'll descend below the surface with an instructor nearby—expect to spot small fish and rock formations up close. Later, back on deck, the boat holds position while focaccia and wine arrive. Music plays softly. The voyage concludes as light drains from the sky and the mainland becomes a silhouette. Weather and daylight hours dictate exact timing and which spots the skipper chooses.
