Chiara is awesome!

Chiara was amazing! The whole paddle felt very safe and comfortable and she is super knowledgeable about Cinque Terre history and culture. She was eager to interact with everyone on the tour and made the whole experience fun. Definitely recommend!

Great way to see Cinque Terra

We absolutely loved this tour. Chiara is a great host not just for the kayak tour but also generally for CT. A true local she has much to share. The tour is a great way to see the coast. We loved kayaking into caves and the beautiful scenery. We found the paddling very easy as the waters were super calm (by Aussie standards!). Highly recommend.

Bliss

This tour was so beautiful, we loved it. Ciarra was a terrific guide, she had interesting insights into life in CT being a genuine local. She was able to manage very different kayaking skill levels. We found the kayaking easy as there are no currents and for us only a gentle swell. We paddled deep inside sea caves, it was fantastic. Great way to see CT.

Super kayak tour

We had a wonderful experience on the kayak tour. We met Chiara at the bar on the day before, she shared all the info and we booked for the next day morning. She was on time and she made sure we had all the equipment we needed. It was only us two and Chiara, which means we had plenty of time. We followed the coast to Vernazza, visited tiny creeks and explored a few caves, which can only be done on kayaks. Chiara was very friendly. She gave us plenty of explanations about Cinque Terre, villages, sea flora and so on. I really recommend this tour.

Lived up to our dream.

The day was perfect! We had great weather, a small group and a wonderful tour guide. Amazing way to enjoy day in the Cinque Terre if you love being on the water. Paddled into caves and coves. Even got a chance to swim and snorkel.

Great morning on the water

We did this tour on a Friday morning and were really happy with it. There was a perfect amount of explaining the local features, landscape, and letting us paddle on our own. Chiara spoke very good English and was very personable, able to answer questions about anything we asked, including Italian culture, food, etc. I’m glad we did this rather than a small boat tour. We snorkeled for a few minutes and jumped off a 6 meter cliff! If anyone thinks they may like to spend a few hours on the water, do this! Highly recommend
