What To Expect

Kayaking experience in the Cinque Terre starting from the "Stella Marina Beach Bar" where it is possible to use the walk-in closet, showers, cabin for valuables and, for a fee, bar service and umbrellas/deckchairs. We will immerse ourselves in the village of Monterosso for an experience in close contact with nature, to discover up close the uniqueness of the National Park, anecdotes and curiosities of both the "new" part and the historic town; there will be a swimming stop with the possibility of snorkelling. We will spend two hours laughing, continuous discoveries, curiosity, physical exercise. Stable and comfortable kayaks guarantee tranquility and fun for amateurs and non-amateurs alike. Being a sporting activity at sea, some athleticism and adaptation is still required, especially when getting on and off the kayak while snorkeling. The guide reserves the right to modify the tour to preserve safety, evaluating any weather and sea conditions and the ability of the individuals. In case of too unfavorable weather, the tour will be postponed. Maximum punctuality is required to allow the tour to start at the established time, under penalty of losing the ticket which will not be refunded.

We had a wonderful time with Carnes's! She was a wonderful guide - patient and kind yet full of interesting information. We loved our time on the tour. She was patient with my kids when they were snorkeling and wanted to jump rocks. She accommodated us. I highly recommend.
postpone & cancel is the name of their game..

First they postponed as they had no guide the day we booked. Asked if we can choose a different date, we had flexibility and accepted a different date. Then on the day of, 1hr before the tour, we were already on the beach, texted us to cancel, claiming too windy. We’re on the beach , plenty of kayaks out on the sea and not windy. We even saw them returning from a previous tour. I assume they didn’t have enough demand for our time slot. We hired someone else on the spot. Find a different company to kayak around - this one was not serious.
Loved!!!

My family loved this!!! We are a family of 4, mom, dad, 18-year-old son and 21-year-old daughter. We were with my parents as well who are mid 70's. Cara was our guide, and she was great! The sights were beautiful especially the waterfall. We all love the snorkeling!! The tour was just long enough, to not be in the sun so long. Bring water shoes:) Thank you Cara!!
Chiara was amazing! We...

Chiara was amazing! We were messaged the day before if we can start earlier as the water was going to be chopping later in the afternoon and really appreciated that! She made an effort to speak to everyone in the group. I was worried we would need to keep up with everyone, but we did not at all feel rushed and the group pretty much stayed together or of you wanted to go ahead she would tall you where we were meeting up. Would highly recommend this tour!
Extremely Fun & Memorable Activity in Cinque Terre

Kayaking/snorkeling with Chiara was a highlight of our family’s trip to Cinque Terre. We did this activity on the last day of our trip, and even our three exhausted teens were all smiles! If I had to do it again, I would have scheduled this as the first activity of our stay. Chiara is incredibly knowledge about the region and has many recommendations about where to hike and what to see and do in and around Monterosso—I wish we’d had all of her insights earlier! In terms of the kayaking/snorkeling, we felt very safe with Chiara and her assistant guide. Chiara helped our kids find safe, fun rocks to jump off of during our swimming/snorkeling break. Our 16-year-old capsized at one point (trying to take a picture on his GoPro while turning around in a grotto), and Chiara calmly helped him get back in his kayak. The equipment we used was in great condition and seemed well maintained. Additionally, the changing and toilet facilities were clean and comfortable to use (and I say that as someone who is squeamish about public facilities). Everything about the experience was enjoyable—highly recommend!
