    A great boat tour!

    Massimo and Daniella were great hosts! The trip was lovely and a great way to see Cinque Terre! Only thing that could be improved would be more specific instructions on the pick up location. All in all a tremendous day!

    Outstanding Eight Hour Boat Excusion!

    This was an excellent eight hour excursion. The weather was fantastic! Our boat captain, Gregorio, was outstanding! He also put out a great lunch that we all ate while out at anchor! The views along the coast of Cinque Terre were priceless! We got to swim several times during the excursion. Gregorio put the boat out at anchor and we had lengthy swimming opportunities. If you can’t swim, he provided swimming noodles. So bring your swimming clothes. The key to this excursion truly is weather! We had fantastic sea conditions and the temperature was around 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Disappointed

    The boat we were supposed to go on had problems, so they had much smaller option. Several people would have been seated in full sun. There was no bathroom with a large shower. We opted to cancel. No way we were going to pay for the option they provided.

    Response from the operator: oramai non si puo Liu rispondere a queste recensioni, la barca ha avuto un problema ed io ve ne ho assegnata un altra con bagno, adatta per 9 persone, non avete voluto prenderla e vi ho cancellati, solo una cosa non comprendo, ma queste recensioni che Tripadvisor permette di fare, o per maltempo, o per problemi alla barca a cosa servono?

    The tour that didn’t happen.

    My tour did not proceed. I initially thought it was kind the provider didn’t want to take us out in poor weather. While kind an alternate was offered, it felt off in that it would be paid in cash separately even though I booked through Viator. It was also going to be more per hour than what I originally booked. This tour was never completely booked. I received an email from Viator about my pending refund as I had cancelled. I did not cancel. The provider did due to weather. When I reached out to clarify this as it was feeling like a “bait and switch” he was incredibly rude. Certainly don’t ask for some support for the alleged bad weather. I was more excited for this day of our trip than any other. If it was weather that is out of their control. The abhorrent treatment and rudeness isn’t though. I’d love to know how often this tour actually runs. Be warned.

    Response from the operator: Caro signore questa recensione e semplicemente vergognosa, mi ha scritto alle 5 del pomeriggio, quando avevo gia fatto a tutti il rimborso, non credeva al maltempo ed ha voluto delle prove che le ho mandato, lei e stato arrogante e poco rispettoso del lavoro altrui e noi noleggiatori siamo stanchi di gente cosi', noi rimborsiamo i clienti e lo facciamo perdendo l intera giornata di guadagno, io ho rimborsato 36 persone quel giorno, solo per non far passare una brutta esperienza ai clienti, c erano 1,50 di onda, quasi pericoloso, per anziani e bambini, ma lei ha voluto recensire lo stesso, lei non ha rispetto del lavoro altrui

    Amazing Day on the water

    This Cinque Terre boat ride was one of the highlights of our trip! We snorkeled, jumped off the boat, visited a charming little village, and enjoyed an incredible feast for lunch. Our children—ages 10, 8, 6, and 3—loved every minute of the experience. The absolute highlight for our three-year-old was getting to drive the boat!

    Boat tour in Cinque Terre from La Spezia with lunch on board: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Spezia.

    How much does Boat tour in Cinque Terre from La Spezia with lunch on board cost?

    +

    Prices start at $136 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Spezia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Boat tour in Cinque Terre from La Spezia with lunch on board take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Spezia is not rushed.

    Is Boat tour in Cinque Terre from La Spezia with lunch on board worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 111 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Spezia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Boat tour in Cinque Terre from La Spezia with lunch on board?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Boat tour in Cinque Terre from La Spezia with lunch on board suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Boat tour in Cinque Terre from La Spezia with lunch on board?

    +

    Around 39 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Spezia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Spezia and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Boat tour in Cinque Terre from La Spezia with lunch on board start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Spezia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Spezia?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Spezia?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
