Overview

Above and below the sea along the unspoiled coastline of Portofino Park: the best solution for a unique outdoors experience. The tour takes you to explore Portofino’s unique territory and hidden gems, sea and land: “la piazzetta” and the Lighthouse of Portofino, the eighteen-century Church of San Giorgio, leaving space for possible sightseeing of sea mammals, birds and wild animals.

If you choose the Kayak & Snorkeling Tour, during the summer season, you can do a snorkeling guided tour by a local qualified guide and instructor.
Before leaving, enjoy some time on the beach while tasting organic local wine and traditional food from Liguria.

All skill levels welcome.

Itinerary

In company of a kayak instructor and marine guide, paddle along the coast from Paraggi to the picturesque port of Portofino and beyond to the Olivetta and the Lighthouse. Get captured by the charm of these areas rich in history and curiosity.

Sara was a wonderful guide and the kayak tour could not have been better. Great place to rent as well. I went back to rent a kayak two more times and Sara and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful. Oh, and this area is incredibly beautiful as well! Quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend!

It's a good tour. The kayaks are either single or double. You choose. The guide was safety conscious and knowledgeable. The water is amazing. They were kind enough to let us take a kayak out early because we arrived too early. There's zones. The inner zone is really safe. No boats. They take you outside that zone to Portofino which is way smaller than I thought it would be. The guide watches for landing crafts that cross often into Portofino. They have showers and lockers to keep stuff but we brought underwater wallets for our passport and money. They have focaccia and wine after. It's OK. The only thing I would caution which has nothing to do with Outdoor Portofino is that it's located on a bus route close to Portofino. Which is a 10 minutes bus ride from the Santa Margherita train station. But good luck finding a seat on that bus. It's usually swamped with cruise ship tourists so be prepared to take a second bus maybe from the SM city center or even walk which is an hour and a pain. Taxis will rape your wallet. And getting a bus back to SM is also a pain. Sometimes they won't even stop. That's the only real hiccup. If you're crafty you can figure out a way on that bus. hahaha The tour is great! Just beware of getting there in a hot flash. The scenery is worth the ride.

Tour was excellent, guide was very knowledgeable and she really enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. Makes it much nicer for the student when the teacher likes what she does!

Incredible experience, our instructor was lovely and very knowledgeable about the local area and it's history. We thoroughly enjoyed the little aperetivo afterwards, very generous with the food and wine. Lovely to sit and watch the sunset while enjoying it. Highly recommend!
