What people are saying about Monterosso al Mare

The kayak tour is amazing. We did a typical boat tour of the cinque terra as well, but the Kayak tour is great because you go at a slower pace and you can get much closer to the cliffs and caves. Manuel was a great host, and very knowledgeable of the local area. I recommend bringing nothing but water shoes/sandals so you can climb on the rocks in a small pool to enjoy focaccia and wine. Don’t bring phones or cameras as you will get more wet than you think. The hosts have a storage facility at the meeting point where you can keep your valuables.

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 tour showed us places from the sea that we would never have seen normally. It have a great insight to the Tuscany coastline. The boat (zodiac) was comfy and well driven. Plus some good sired rides!!!!

A very nice way to start a 3 day visit to Cinque Terre and see it from the water. Unlike the big "tour" boats jammed with people, our boat was small, personal, and our guide was informative.

Great boat tour of Cinque Terre with an unexpected stop for an hour in Monterosso.
