What is the best time to book water activities in Liguria?

The best time to book is during the summer months (June to September) when the weather is warm and the sea is calm. However, these popular tours sell out quickly, so booking in advance is recommended, especially for private experiences and sunset cruises.

How do I choose between different water experiences in Liguria?

Consider your preferences: for a personalized experience, opt for a private boat tour; for a social atmosphere, choose a group cruise with swimming and aperitifs. Also, think about the duration and departure point—tours from La Spezia cover the Cinque Terre, while those from the Tigullio area focus on Portofino.
