Portofino Kayak Tour
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.
