Our shared one-way sunset tour from Monterosso to La Spezia is a perfect opportunity to not only see the beauty of the Cinque Terre by sea, but to take in the splendour of the twilight hours while cruising along the coast towards Portovenere and the Gulf of the Poets! Departing from Monterosso, we will pass by all five villages of the Cinque Terre before heading down the coast. There will be time to stop and swim in one of the crystalline coves along the way before reaching the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Portovenere with its very particular narrow coloured houses and the breathtaking St. Peter’s Church. We will also take you into Byron’s Grotto, one of the most treasured places along the Ligurian coast. With the stunning backdrop of Portovenere, we will await the sunset while enjoying an aperitivo featuring local pesto and fresh focaccia. This tour also includes service of local wine, beer, water and soft drinks.

Monterosso al Mare
The northernmost village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is divided into two sides: the historic center and the "new" side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel connecting the two. Monterosso is larger than the other towns and is the only one that offers beach services, making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre. We will pass by slowly to be able to see the village and take photos. There is a speed limit within the Cinque Terre National Park, so this tour has a nice, slow pace to allow you to soak in all the beautiful scenery.
Vernazza
Vernazza the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most charming with a beautiful little port and the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia which stands right on the water. Here you will also see the Torre del Belforte which is located right on the harbour as a protective beacon for the small village. We will pass by slowly to be able to see the village and take photos. There is a speed limit within the Cinque Terre National Park, so this tour has a nice, slow pace to allow you to soak in all the beautiful scenery.

Captain Tom was very knowledgeable about the region and explained some history about each of the sites we passed. He was also very polite and attentive.

We had a great time on the boat tour. Captain Tom was a wonderful guide. The boat was comfortable, the views were amazing! We stopped for a swim, and had plenty of snacks and drinks.

The waters were too rough for this exact tour and so we were offered a tour through the Gulf of Poets picking up in La Spezia and ending there. We hit the jackpot!! Loved our guide Sara. We had the best time for the sunset through the Gulf of Poets. Sara had the boat fully stocked with water, cokes, beer, wine, bread and the best pesto! She told us all about everything we were seeing. It was the most amazing time. Would definitively recommend a tour with Sara and hope to make another trip back to La Spezia.

I cannot say that I had this tour. One day before the tour they cancel due to weather reasons and provided another option or a refund. I decided to get the new option in La Spezia. It was very nice and the boat guide Sara was amazing.
