    Cinque Terre by boat.

    Although we've been to the Cinque Terre before, this is the first time we were able to take a boat trip. It was wonderful - a completely different perspective. The boat was just the right size, not too small or too large. The Ligurian lunch was very good. Pietro was a great guide.

    This is an absolute MUST...

    This is an absolute MUST DO! We had a beautiful day on the water and our guides were so kind and made the whole day very enjoyable! Lunch and Prosecco was delicious.

    via Viator

    Alex_S · September 2026

    Highly recommend this tour

    A spectacular exclusive small group tour that included swimming, snorkeling to see beautiful little fish, a light snack and glass of Prosecco in a well appointed boat only 12 months old. The driver and the tour guide (Piatro) were the epitome of tall dark and handsome Italian men. A most memorable day and highly recommend over being squashed in like sardines on the large ferries.

    Wonderful time my favorite site seeing tour on vacation.

    We had an absolutely amazing time on our boat tour! From the moment we stepped aboard, the experience was incredible. The scenery was beautiful, the boat was wonderful, and the entire trip was relaxing, fun, and truly unforgettable. What really made the experience so special, though, was our amazing captain and mate. They were both incredibly friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire trip. You could tell they genuinely cared about making sure everyone was having a great time and enjoying every moment. The captain made us feel completely comfortable and safe while showing us some absolutely breathtaking sights, and the mate went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Their personalities, hospitality, and sense of fun made the day even better! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this boat tour to anyone looking for a memorable and special day on the water. Thank you to the wonderful captain and mate for making our day so perfect—we will definitely remember this experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THANK YOU

    Boat Tours 5 Terre: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Boat Tours 5 Terre cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 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 Tours 5 Terre take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 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 Tours 5 Terre worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 181 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in La Spezia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Boat Tours 5 Terre?

    +

    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 Tours 5 Terre suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Boat Tours 5 Terre?

    +

    Around 63 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Boat Tours 5 Terre 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.

    What are the best things to do in La Spezia?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Spezia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include La Spezia: Taste Cinque Terre on a Food Tour by Do Eat Better, Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Tour Experience with Aperitivo and Swim, Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Tour : golden hour on the water. 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.

    What is included in Boat Tours 5 Terre?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; Towels; and Use of snorkeling equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Boat Tours 5 Terre?

    +

    IMPORTANT: the departure from Monterosso is always 30 min after that from Levanto Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Boat Tours 5 Terre offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Boat Tours 5 Terre?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Boat Tours 5 Terre wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Boat Tours 5 Terre if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
