Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We depart from Riomaggiore and head off the coast so you can see the village from the sea.

We cruise along the via del amore, which was how the locals from Manarola and Riomaggiore used to get between the villages - now its a beautiful walk along the cliffs

Once we arrive in front of Manarola we will stop so you can take pictures and see the village from the sea. We choose our swimming spot depending on the amount of boats on the water at that given time but just around the corner from Manarola is one of our favorite places to swim

Corniglia is the only village not right on the sea, we will stop so you can take some pictures and we can give you some history of this beautiful town. Right around the corner is another wonderful place to swim depending on how busy the sea is that day.

On our way to Vernazza we'll show you some incredible caves, we are able to get right up next to them due to the size of our boat. The sea is so clear you can see fish all around you!

We will take you in front of Vernazza to get a picture perfect shot of you and your loved ones in front of this incredible village. From the sea you can see restaurants perfectly perched on the cliffs

After Vernazza we make our way along the coast to Monterosso, slowly enjoying the rugged coast line only visible by sea. Once we arrive in front of Monterosso we'll turn back around and head back to Riomaggiore.
