About this tour
Three hours aboard a distinctive pink gozzo with Captain Jenny, exploring Cinque Terre's five villages from the water. Swim in secluded spots, snorkel the Bay of Guvano, and watch the sun descend over the Ligurian coast whilst sipping local wine. A straightforward alternative to the crowded clifftop trails—you'll see these UNESCO villages from an angle most visitors miss, with someone who knows the sea and shoreline intimately.

What to expect
You'll board a striking pink gozzo—a traditional Ligurian fishing boat—and motor past the five villages clinging to the cliffsides. The boat moves slowly enough to absorb the architecture and landscape without the soundtrack of crowds. There's time to slip into the water at a quieter bay, snorkel amongst rocky outcrops, and simply float whilst the light shifts. As sunset approaches, you'll surface with wine and fresh oysters in hand, watching the villages glow. The whole thing feels unhurried and personal rather than orchestrated.
Good to know
Bring a light layer; the sea breeze cools once you're wet. Infants sit on laps; prams can stay ashore. The boat suits all fitness levels—swimming is optional. Public transport reaches the embarkation point. Allow time to dry off after snorkelling.
