Cinque Terre boat tours on this page were picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 26 tours rated 4.5★ or higher.

A quick way to choose: the hybrid boat tour from Monterosso stays on the water without village visits and adds a fuel surcharge payable in cash at boarding. For a Cinque Terre boat trip with swimming, check the equipment: some trips include snorkelling gear, but the hybrid cruise charges extra unless you bring your own.
