Highlights

Above and below the sea along the unspoiled coastline of Portofino Park: the best solution for a unique outdoors experience. The tour takes you to explore Portofino’s unique territory and hidden gems, sea and land: “la piazzetta” and the Lighthouse of Portofino, the eighteen-century Church of San Giorgio, leaving space for possible sightseeing of sea mammals, birds and wild animals. If you choose the Kayak & Snorkeling Tour, during the summer season, you can do a snorkeling guided tour by a local qualified guide and instructor. Before leaving, enjoy some time on the beach while tasting organic local wine and traditional food from Liguria. All skill levels welcome.

  • 5Baia di Niasca kayak tour was amazing!

    Christian was excellent, providing us a breadth of geological, architectural, biological info on our beautiful paddle. The area was incredible and the host group anticipated our needs. I would definitely come again!

  • 5So much fun!

    We had a great time kayaking with our guide and group. Great way to experience Italy and cool off on a hot day.

  • 5Amazing first time in Portofino

    Great location and the team members were super helpful despite our difficulties (we didn't expect work to be closed on the way to the tour, delaying our arrival). We were able to enjoy the water and breathtaking location.

  • 2Not my favorite.

    Rushed. Not enjoyable and old kayaks. I would have preferred a more relaxed approach to kayaking. More time to enjoy the scenery.

  • 5Professional and beautiful tour

    We had a wonderful trip with Andre as guide. He gave us the history of both the geological landscape and the history of Portofino and the area around. We were surprisingly the only couple there that day, so we got a private tour. After the kayaking we got to keep our change of clothes in the lockers while we got to swim at one of the few sand beaches in the area just outside their store. Can highly recommend Outdoor Portofino!

  • 5Peaceful Kayak Site Seeing

    Phillipo was an excellent guide during our Kayak tour. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and took us around to see some beautiful sites around Portofino. The weather was also nice and the time of day allowed us experience to more enjoyable with smaller crowds.

About Portofino

Portofino is a pastel-painted fishing village on the Ligurian coast, with a tiny harbour, a hilltop castle and the wooded cliffs of a regional park.

Portofino curls around a small, sheltered harbour on the Ligurian Riviera, its tall pink, ochre and yellow houses reflected in the water beside the quay. Yachts and fishing boats share the harbour, and the piazzetta lined with cafés is the village's living room. A path climbs to Castello Brown, a fortress above the harbour with gardens and sea views, and the church of San Giorgio stands on a lookout.

Top-ranked sights in Portofino: Castello Brown, Church of San Giorgio (Chiesa di San Giorgio), Portofino Marine Reserve (Area Marina Protetta di Portofino).
