About this trip
Eight days moving through Cinque Terre by foot, bike and kayak, taking in the coloured houses, cliffside paths and blue water at a pace that mixes real activity with proper downtime.
Days are built around hiking, cycling and paddling between villages, so you see the region from a few different angles rather than just walking the coastal path once. Afternoons tend to wind down with food and drinks after the exertion of the day.
This is an active trip rather than a gentle sightseeing one — steep terrain and multiple activities each day mean you'll feel it in your legs by evening.
What you'll do
- Cycle past olive groves inland from the coast
- Hike to medieval monuments above the villages
- Kayak along the coast to reach sandy beaches
- Walk sections of the Cinque Terre coastal path
- Wind down afternoons with local food and drink
- Requires a good level of fitness — walking days run three to six hours with steep hills and steps, plus separate cycling and kayaking
- Recent landslide damage means some coastal paths are closed or under repair, so your leader may swap in alternative walks of a higher physical rating
- Accommodation is twin-share; solo travellers are paired with a same-gender roommate unless they pay a single room supplement

What's included
- Guide: All Intrepid group trips in Europe are accompanied by one of our local European group leaders. ’Local’ in this context means a leader who is European or lives in Europe. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced leader however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your leader is new to a particular region or training other group leaders. Your leader takes care of logistics, will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. At Intrepid we also aim to support local guides in the individual cities or locations we travel to. If you are interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your leader can recommend an optional local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip.
- Meals: 7 breakfasts
- Activities: Punta Mesca Guided Hike Coastal Bike Ride to Framura Cinque Terre Guided Hike Riomaggiore to Portovenere Guided Hike Boat Cruise Portovenere to Levanto Guided Hike to Portofino Portofino Sea Kayaking
- Transport: TRANSPORT IN EUROPE: Half the fun of travel is the travelling itself, that's why we like to travel the local way – whether that means mingling with commuters on a local train, watching the scenery roll by from the window of a long distance bus, arriving on a high speed train in the city centre of your next destination, or navigating each city's public transport system. In Europe, you are guaranteed to travel by genuine local public transport wherever possible, which puts you right in the centre of the action. Train, Boat, Public bus, On foot, Bicycle, Kayak
- Accommodation: OCCASIONAL ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION: The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline. On rare occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our usual accommodation. A similar standard of accommodation will be used in these instances. TWIN SHARE BASIS: Accommodation on this trip is on a twin basis. We pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. Please note there may be times where facilities will be shared rather than ensuite and rare occasions when you share a room with passengers travelling on different Intrepid trips than your own. CHECK-IN TIME: Throughout the trip we request that our hotels prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we're arriving prior to normal check-in time. However this isn't always possible which means we won't be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination. PRE/POST TRIP ACCOMMODATION: If you've purchased pre-trip or post-trip accommodation (if available), you may be required to change rooms from your trip accommodation for these extra nights. FACILITIES: Your accommodation may not always have private en suite facilities or air-conditioning. European hotels generally don't provide kettles or fridges. Hotel (7 nights)

- Marco is exceptional: knowledgeable, friendly, cost-conscious with restaurant picks, and genuinely attentive to group needs.
- Hike variety is smart: hard days mixed with semi-easy days across eight days prevents burnout and maximises views.
- Several hikes are genuinely difficult and steep; not suited to those with limited fitness or knee issues.
- No reviews mention kayaking or biking components despite tour name; unclear how much time these activities receive.
