Full description

Explore the beautiful cliffs, beaches, and colorful towns of the Cinque Terre on a sailing tour from La Spezia. You will see all the five picturesque villages characterized by pastel-colored houses on a 4-hour boat tour.

Start your tour from Passeggiata Morin in La Spezia and sail along the western coast of the Gulf of Poets. Admire the beautiful landscape of the four villages that make up the Borgata Marinara.

Continue sailing towards Portovenere, where you will cross the Le Bocche, a strait between the town of Portovenere and the wild Palmaria Island. See the magnificent Romanesque church of San Pietro, set among the rocks and overlooking the sea.

Discover the unspoiled coves of Le Rosse, Monesteroli, and Punta Pineda along the coastline. Grab a chance to dip in the pristine waters of the Cinque Terre Natural Park. Marvel at the beauty of Monterosso al Mare, the last and most vibrant of the five villages.

I was with 3 others and we all really enjoyed the boat trip. I was a little concerned by the pics that the boat would be too small and not smooth, but it held 12 people comfortably and was smooth. I loved seeing the towns and cliffs from the water. We stopped for a swim and visited Monterosso, which was fantastic. The skipper was very friendly. He provided some information about the area. Definitely recommend!

The Zodiac boat trip and commentary by our driver/guide proved to be an excellent way to see the five towns of Cinque Terre and capture some great photos from the water. We also got some good tips on where to eat which was a bonus. There was a 1 hour stopnin Monterosso was excellent. Highly recommend the trip to others

Superb experience with Hophop boat. Our original trip was overbooked but they caught it right away and offered a complimentary 1h boat ride to Portovenere while awaiting the next 5Terre trip. both skippers were awesome, 2 swimming spots and the water is exquisite (very salty, bring water). Portovenere was actually a much nicer exploration and attraction for us than Monterosso, but regardless a 10 on 10 experience the entire way.
