    Perfect family outing on the sea

    We absolutely LOVED this boat tour. We try to go on boat tours in every city we visit that has one, and this was one of our favorites! The crew was so kind and accommodating and took us to the most beautiful places! We will for sure book again when we are back.

    Response from the operator: Our greatest satisfaction lies in seeing our guests happy and happy with their experience. A special thank you for you. Best regards

    If you only book one thing, book this.

    By far the absolute highlight of our 10 day trip, this particular Cinque Terre Tour was everything we had hoped and more. Prior to booking, I had read about dozens of different tours. Some by train and ferry, some by dinghy, some did not stop in any ports but only offered the view of the cities by water. This tour allows for going ashore for two ports, so we enjoyed a day on the water as well as the charming villages and delicious food and wares. On this tour, you can book a shared boat or a private tour. We ended up going just the three of us, myself, my husband, and our adventurous 3-year-old daughter. The boat was perfect size for a group even much larger than ours. Luca was the perfect host and skipper, explaining to us about each place as we gracefully cruised the waterline. He brought us to two swimming spots where we found crystal clear waters, gorgeous sea life, and privacy. Luca and Valentina were the best. Their personalities and hospitality and kindness really made our day and we are so grateful. We are already planning to come back again next year and bring family and friends because this trip is not to be missed in a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and book this one, it is a sure bet! ✨

    Response from the operator: A thank you is not enough to be able to express our immense gratitude towards you for the warmth you have conveyed to us with what you wrote. Your words have a special and very high value for us, we are waiting for you with open arms for next year, it will be an honor to have you on board with us again. A special greeting Blu Levante

    Beautiful scenery

    This was a very expensive tour. We had requested an English tour and didn’t get that. Our boat captain only gave us one half hour at Porte Venere. He only stopped at one village in Cinque Terre for one hour. He was more interested in stopping for his family to swim. We loved the scenery. But unfortunately did not get an explanation of anything. We took a bus the next day to Porte Venere. For the money we paid. Very disappointing. All our other Viator tours were great. Sorry I had to be honest.

    Response from the operator: Dear customer, you have booked a shared tour, which includes stops in the villages to visit the villages and stops in the bays for swimming and relaxation. There were other guests with you. To satisfy everyone, we respected all the needs of the people on board. If he wanted a personal tour with personalized stops, he had to book a private tour. She paid for a shared tour but wanted to decide the stops and the itinerary as if it were a private tour. I couldn't do this out of respect for the other guests, sorry.

    Wonderful boat experience along Cinque Terre but beware "shared" and no English

    This trip was one of the highlights of our travel in the region because the scenery was amazing and water just beautiful. Please note though that if you are on this "shared" trip and they do not get other people to fill the boat, they will tell you last minute they are going to charge you more or cancel the trip. We said no so they put us on a smaller boat (which was fine), but only after haggling and making us feel like we had our trip was getting cancelled at the last minute unless we paid more. The two gentlemen who operated our boat were extremely nice but did not speak any English, so there was no "guided tour" to speak of. We had a wonderful time but you need to go with the flow I guess when no one speaks the same language.

    Response from the operator: Dear Customer, our company has done everything possible to satisfy you and guarantee your maximum satisfaction. She had booked the shared option but we found ourselves overbooked and we offered her various alternatives: the private option by paying a different price, the cancellation of the tour, or another boat with the same itinerary as Portovenere and the Cinque Terre National Park. In my opinion she should be very happy with both the tour and the team's effort to offer an alternative. If he didn't agree, he could cancel. In any case, I'm happy to know that you enjoyed the places you visited. A warm greeting Jessika Blu levante Team communication manager

    Cinque Terre SHARED boat tour, Amazing Experience: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Cinque Terre SHARED boat tour, Amazing Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $211 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 Cinque Terre SHARED boat tour, Amazing Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Cinque Terre SHARED boat tour, Amazing Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 19 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 Cinque Terre SHARED boat tour, Amazing Experience?

    +

    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 Cinque Terre SHARED boat tour, Amazing Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cinque Terre SHARED boat tour, Amazing Experience?

    +

    Around 7 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cinque Terre SHARED boat tour, Amazing Experience 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, Portovenere & Three Islands Small Group Boat Tour from La Spezia, Cinque Terre Daytime Boat Tour : escape into beauty and color. 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.

    +
