Highlights
The crystalline clear blue waters of Niasca and Paraggi bay are irresistible to dive in!

A dive with mask and snorkel in this natural aquarium is an absolutely unique experience. No skills required, beyond being able to swim.

3Knowledgeable guide but not a whole lot to see
A good experience when in the area but we only saw about 3-5 varieties of fish so it was a little mundane. The guide was very kind, patient and knowledgeable. There just isn’t a whole lot to see when comparing to other snorkeling experiences we’ve had in the Florida keys or Caribbean.
4Great way to spend an hour in the bay
The snorkel tour is a great way to explore the sea life in the protected bay. Andrea was our guide who explained a lot about the marine life and which types of fish we could see. Great way to spend an hour!
5Lovely afternoon activity
Lorenzo was a great guide. All well organised. Surprised by the amount of fish that we saw
5Fantastic snorkling experience
Me and my 13 year old son had such a fantastic time. The guide was excellent and made us feel at ease. He pointed out interesting marine life along the way and we were both really surprised at the amount of fish, sea urchins and starfish there was to see. We even saw two octopus hiding in the sea bed! Would throughly recommend and was a highlight of our holiday. Plus, Paraggi Bay is unbelievably beautiful, with quiet, calm clear blue waters and no boats to worry about. Such a great experience! Thank you :)
4Fun Snorkel in the Mediterranean Sea
It was wonderful to swim in the Mediterranean Sea! We have prior snorkeling experience, so we opted to go earlier and without the guide. He gave us a little talk prior to us entering the water with their equipment. He showed us a picture chart of the possible fish and sea creatures that we may find. We did actually see 75% of what was on his picture chart. It was a little windy, so the water seemed to start churning up, but we had a great experience. Their equipment is not the newest, and the breathing tubes did leak quite a bit. We still had a very fun time. We did this as a port excursion on a cruise. We took a bus from the Portofino Square/ Tender port. It was a very short ride, but the road is extremely narrow, with harrowing 2 way traffic; seems dangerous for pedestrians.
4Great!
The scenery and experience was breathtaking! Parking is a bit difficult to find, but after parking and walking for 20 minutes we got to Outdoor Portofino. Staff is friendly and our tour guide was knowledgeable! There was a changing room (but wear your bathing suit to the location) and lockers for belongings. Was very fun!

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.
