Details
Would you like to have an unforgettable experience? Our boat trip to Porto Venere and its islands is definitely for you. Set off with us to discover unique landscapes and irresistible sceneries.
We will depart from Porto Mirabello towards our first destination: Torre Scola, an ancient fortified building built on an islet. It will only take us a few moments to reach Porto Venere, a place that will certainly not go unnoticed. Here you can admire how the bright colours of the houses almost merge with the crystal-clear waters of the sea to create an impressive spectacle.
The picturesque neighbouring Palmaria Island and Tino and Tinetto islands will delight you with other places we will explore. Among them, Grotta Byron, famous for diving and for having inspired poets and writers, will welcome you with its majesty. The combination of these locations and the plays of light at sunset will offer sensational spectacles.
There are approximately 2 snorkeling stops on the morning tour and 1 snorkeling stop on the sunset tour. The trip will be accompanied by an apéritif of local specialities and wine. Returning to Porto Mirabello, we will thank you for the good times we had together.

We had booked a trip to Palmaria. They contacted us personally to change it due to poor conditions. From the very first moment, they were eager to help, offering a personalized solution. We changed the trip to suit our needs, and it was the right decision.
The tour was spectacular. Our guide, Cesaré, was very attentive and friendly, explaining many things about the Cinque Terre coast. It was a group of seven, so we were able to enjoy ourselves without feeling overwhelmed. The snorkeling was the best part; he took us to exclusive areas. And the views of the coast and villages from the boat were breathtaking.
Our children loved it too. 10/10.

An absolutely fantastic holiday experience!!! From booking to organization to the trip itself, everything went perfectly!!!
Our captain, Diego, was very friendly and easygoing... and he made the children feel especially welcome. The highlight for us was the swimming stops... swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear water among the fish was simply amazing. The food, featuring regional products, Prosecco, and non-alcoholic drinks, made the experience even better.
