Highlights

Monterosso al Mare - The northernmost village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is divided into two sides: the historic center and the “new” side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel that connects the two. Monterosso is larger than the other towns and is the only one that offers beach services, making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre.
Vernazza - Vernazza the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most fascinating with a beautiful marina and the Church of Santa Margherita d’Antiochia which stands right on the water. Here you will also see the Torre del Belforte which sits right on the harbor as a protective lighthouse for the small village.
Corniglia - Corniglia: lying 100 meters high on a cliff, Corniglia is the only one of the towns without a port and has a panoramic terrace from which you can see Manarola and Riomaggiore to the south and Vernazza and Monterosso to the north.
Manarola - Manarola: is located at the other end of the Via del Amore and is part of the municipality of Riomaggiore. Known for its wine production, Manarola produces the only dessert wine called Sciacchetrà found only in this area.
Riomaggiore - While we continue to sail along the coast of the Cinque Terre villages, we meet Riomaggiore. With brightly colored houses built vertically on the surrounding hills, Riomaggiore is the second largest of the five towns and is widely known for excellent diving spots off its coast in the marine protected area that stretches all along the Cinque Terre. Here you will also see where the famous Via del Amore pedestrian path begins, leading to nearby Manarola.

Great Private Boat Tour with Simone - We have a great time on the boat with Simone. We learned a lot of the 5 villages and enjoyed being able to stop and swim in a few different locations. The wine, focaccia, and pesto we had on board were delicious. We definitely recommend booking this tour.

Amazing Boating Experience 5 Cinque Terre - We loved this boat tours, everyone has mentioned. Simon was our captain and was very informative as well as charming. He took us along the coast of the five villages and we were able to jump out and swim as well. On the way back he offered us some homemade pesto and some focaccia. It was really great to see Cinque Terre this way as there were a lot of people out in the water in Vernazza when we left— It was a great respite with a 1 PM departure time.

Honeymoon Private Boat Tour - My husband and I had a great time on board with Simone as our captain. He was waiting in the dock for us and allowed us to get right on. He made us feel very comfortable and chatted with us the whole way. The focaccia, pesto, white wine, and limoncello were delicious. We got off and swam in the middle of the ride for about 15 minutes. The only part that upset us was that he docked and had us get off 15 min prior to the 2 hours we had paid for (which was not cheap).
