5Would definitely recommend
This was an amazing experience with friendly and helpful guides who told us some of the history of Cinque Terre in English and Italian. The boat was clean, spacious and not overcrowded. We stopped twice for snorkeling/swimming in beautiful locations with clear water and amazing views, with some light snacks and drinks in between which we're also really good. Would definitely recommend!

About Cinque Terre
The Cinque Terre are five colourful fishing villages strung along the steep Ligurian coast, linked by trails, trains and boats above the sea.
The Cinque Terre are Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, five villages on a rugged stretch of the Ligurian coast in north-west Italy. Pastel houses cling to cliffs above tiny harbours, and centuries of dry-stone terraces climb the slopes, planted with vines, olives and lemon trees. The coast is a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Top-ranked sights in Cinque Terre: Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre National Park (Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre), Vernazza.
