Unforgettable Cinque Terre: Coastal Lunch & Swim Tour

What an amazing day! Not only were the crew so friendly, they were knowledgeable and spoke multiple languages. The food they served was incredible! They let me fish the ocean for the first time and handled everything so I didn’t have to struggle or hurt myself. Overall I highly recommend booking this experience especially in September ! We met lovely people on the boat and truly loved every moment. There’s a gorgeous rooftop for tanning on the top, a bathroom and all the little things you could need for a day on the water! From snorkels, to tubes and noodles they had everything ! I will book again and highly recommend booking this yourself.

This was the best way to see all 5 towns from off shore. The hosts were knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch consisted of fresh local seafood cooked to perfection. Ample opportunity to swim off the boat and enjoy the wonderful Ligurian Sea. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This boat tour was THE highlight of our 3 weeks in Italy! Why choose this one over the many others available? So many reasons, including: (1) it's just the right length of time - - you have enough time to swim/snorkel in some amazing locations, have a fabulous lunch prepared on board, enjoy cocktails (including local wines), and get incredible views (for great photographs) of all 5 towns comprising the Cinque Terre; (2) the crew (we had Eugenio and Loris) are delightful, and Loris provides a lot of interesting info about the area and its history; (3) the boat, unlike the boats of Aquamarina's many competitors, has a shade area under a canopy (very important in the hot sun!) AND a bathroom on board! We had hiked the trails between all the villages, but seeing them from the water was a totally different and really extraordinary experience - - and the cool breezes on the water were a very welcome reprieve from the heat on land. The lunch we had on board was one of the best meals of our trip - - fresh seafood, simply but perfectly cooked - very authentic local cuisine. Can't recommend this tour operator (and Loris and Eugenio) enough!!

Was totally worth it!!! Best day in Cinque Terre. Elaria and Lori’s were so nice and kind. Went on board and were offered drinks (including alcohol) and focaccia. We went to every village where we got a history lesson on each village. We also got to swim twice. Another passenger got to fish and caught 3 fish. Lori’s made us a delicious meal of prawns, muscles, bruschetta and swordfish and let’s not forget the unlimited alcoholic drinks. We finished with a delicious Tiramisu. It was truly a great experience and would highly recommend ++++ I only wish it was longer than 4.5 hours lol

Great day on the water, swimming thru caves, catching small fish. Unbelievable food cooked on board fresh - swordfish prawns and muscles and tiramisu for dessert Loris and Elilary were fantastic Don't miss it.

This boat tour was the highlight of our trip thus far! Do not miss the opportunity to see the five villages from the Ligurian Sea. Views were beyond spectacular! What made the trip super special, though, was the great teamwork of our Aquamarina guides, Ilara and Lari! They were two of the friendliest, most informative and special folks we’ve worked with. Ilara provided great stories of each village and some geological information. Lari, the boat captain and son of a chef, is also a great cook. Our lunch of mussels, prawns, and swordfish was cooked boatside in front of our eyes and was the best meal we’ve devoured in Italy, thus far! Magnifico!!! Bravo!!

Highlight of our trip. Incredible day on the water with a lunch cooked fresh on the boat! Cannot say enough great things about the captain and his crewmate. They were friendly, knowledgeable, fun and took care of everything from drinks to food. One of the greatest vacation memories we will ever have! Thank you!!!!!

Absolutely wonderful day on the sea! Loris and Eugenio were wonderful! The food was absolutely amazing and we had such a beautiful day to enjoy together. Highly recommend them for a tour!!

Perfect day and great way to see 5Terre. Definitely take this trip starting in La Spezia as you will see so much more than just the 5Terre villages on the southern part of the trip. The boat is very comfortable, the crew extraordinarily attentive, and the lunch magnificent. We spent five full days in 5Terre including two solid days of hiking. This was our best day. We (my husband and I) were quite fortunate to be the only guests so it was a private cruise for us. However, the boat is roomy both below and on the top deck. Highly recommend this tour. It was a much better value than a Food & Wine Walking Tour in Monterosso.

Scenery and lunch were outstanding. Captain and first mate Eli and Loris were amazing people! They were very knowledgeable and explained alot about the area, towns and history.
