Kayak the bay of the Poets from Portovenere

How it works: Meet your certified guide on the Portovenere waterfront and start paddling at your own pace along the coast and towards the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. Stop for a swim wherever you like. The sunset will come and you can admire the golden hour from the sea.
Food/Drinks: Small aperitif with drinks and appetizers
Inclusions: Food/Drinks, specialized guide
Languages: Italian, English, Spanish

Kayaking is one of the best ways to explore the Bay of Poets’ most beautiful coves and caves! Our professional guides take you to explore this beautiful stretch of the Ligurian coast standouts. Start paddling from the Portovenere sea promenade, and explore the archipelago of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto, their shores, cliffs, and caves, spots that can be reached only with unpowered crafts. 

Groove the clear blue water at sunset when the temperature is mild, and the glorious golden hour makes the brilliant white coast of the Cinque Terre shine. Have drinks and nibbles as an “aperitivo” on board while marveling at the wonder. 

We provide you with quality equipment, a sit-on-top kayak, a paddle, a life jacket, a waterproof bag, and a waterproof mobile phone cover. So come and explore the Bay of Poets with us!

Unbeschreibliches Erlebnis Es war unbeschreiblich toll und absolut zu empfehlen. Sehr nette Crew, toller Ausflug an unglaublich schöne Buchten, die nur über das Wasser zu erreichen sind. Man hatte genügend Zeit zwischendurch zu Schwimmen und gemeinsam leckere Snacks zu genießen. Wenn wir wieder in der Gegend sind, werden wir wieder buchen. Meine Töchter (15 und 14) und ich kamen auch ohne vorherige Erfahrung gut zurecht.

Un esperienza meravigliosa Un esperienza pazzesca, non solo ci siamo divertiti ma abbiamo scoperto un angolo di paradiso fra cale e calette, acque trasparenti e paesaggi mozzafiato. Inoltre Francesca è una persona fantastica, super informata sul suo territorio e gentilissima, ci ha accolto nella sua barchetta e subito ci ha fatto sentire a nostro agio. Un esperienza indimenticabile che raccomando a tutti!

Una emozione indimenticabile Posto incantevole, vista sul borgo di Portovenere e sul mare, luci e profumi indimenticabili. Il giardino, la simpatia di Rosanna, la sua pazienza nel spiegarci tutti i segreti per fare il pesto sono esperienze che consiglio a tutti. I gesti antichi tramandati da madre a figlia sono un patrimonio che dovremmo custodire con cura. Quando penseremo a questa vacanza ci verrà subito in mente il sorriso di Rosanna e i profumi del pesto appena fatto.

Bello!! Da consigliare Giro stupendo nelle cave. Suggestivo enrrare nelle gallerie scavate nel marmo con un fuoristrada. Panorami unici. Giro molto bello con conclusione nel borgo di colonnato per degustare il famoso lardo

Il Mare nel piatto!! Ci siamo voluti prendere un giorno di pausa in questo Luglio torrido..scappare letteralmente dalla terra rovente! Eh abbiamo fatto bene!! ..ci siamo fatti coccolare per una giornata intera da "Maragià" e il suo team. Siamo stati a giro nel fantastico arcipelago di Portovenere che visto dal mare fa stupire ancor di piú. Ma questo luogo lo abbiamo anche assaggiato eh si!! Perché pranzando a bordo abbiamo potuto sentire il sapore del luogo coi piatti preparati con i pesci appena pescati. Una cucina veramente fantastica ..quando si dice ho sentito il gusto del mare nel piatto!!Grazie!!

Totally recommended, both Poetessa and the bay of the Poets Poetessa is a beuaiful boat and the tour is led with grace and knowledge about the Gulf of the Poets. The area was a total surprise for me and my my family (and dog), we hoped to go to the Cinque Terre but it was not possible as motor boats cannot enter the Cinque Terre Park. Yet the Portovenere and Lerici and La Spezia sea is absolutely worth, with so many possibilities to jump in the water and relax on the many small deserted beaches. And Poetessa takes you to the best ones. Totally recommended.
