Things to do in Italian Riviera, Liguria: The Best Scuba & Snorkeling

July 21, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

Liguria, or the Italian Riviera, boasts a bounty of beaches and resort towns, such as tiny but tony Portofino and stylish Rapallo. Hiking trails lead from Portofino to the villages of Cinque Terre. The Riviera of the Setting Sun runs north from Genoa to the French border. Connected by an extensive rail network, most towns make easy daytrips from one another. Genoa is the region's principal city and is home to attractions from its famous Cathedral and the Palazzo Reale to an excellent aquarium.

Angelo's Boat Tours

We’ll depart from the harbor in Monterosso, the northernmost village, and cruise along the coast of the Cinque Terre, while enjoying an Italian aperitivo on board. You'll get to know the other guests on the boat while learning about the history of the area, told to you by your English speaking guide. Weather permitting, we’ll stop along the way in one of the pristine coves that only a small boat can enter for a swim in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. For Lunch Tours (€150 per person): We’ll stop in one of the villages for lunch at one of the area’s best family-run restaurants. Here we’ll enjoy a gourmet seafood lunch (alternatives available!) – be prepared for a feast!! For evening Tapas Tours (€100 per person): We’ll stop in one of the villages for fresh tapas at one of the area’s best family-run restaurants. We also offer a Day Tour that does not stop in any village and allows more time for swimming.
