About this experience
For the romantics or non sun lovers we will be pleased to suggest to you all the wonders and the emotions that a sunset tour can offer.
On departing from Monterosso, while enjoying the welcome drink, we will sail across the whole coast of Cinque Terre, all the way to Riomaggiore and Punta Montenero which close the National park on the south-east.
Along the coast you will take a break to give our guests the opportunity to swim in one of the wonderful coves of this area.
Back on the boat, we will navigate to Punta Mesco across the most north-western point of Cinque Terre National Park. Here you will admire the fascinating landscape made of lights and colors and if you are lucky you will see some dolphins breaching the sea-surface. A plunge in this wonderful sea can’t be missed.
In an unique atmosphere that only the amazing panorama of 5 Terre with the sun dropping into the sea can create, our staff will be pleased to offer guests a savory, rich Italian aperitivo made of typical products.
