4 tours · €75–€112 per person · ★ 4.9
Every Cinque Terre kayak tour on this page was picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 4 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €75 per person for a kayak outing with snorkelling equipment to €112 for a guided paddle from Monterosso. Kayaking Cinque Terre with a sea kayak guide gives you someone to follow on the water, while the snorkelling outing supplies the equipment for looking below the surface.
A quick way to choose: the snorkelling and Monterosso trips require you to be able to swim; to kayak Monterosso to Vernazza, you also need at least moderate fitness. Bring your own water, as none of these tours provides it. The best reviewed Cinque Terre kayak tours come first below.
