Half Day Small Group Hike to Portovenere with Local Guide
Overview
This small-group tour is an intermediate trek with the best views. Different from Cinque Terre Trek, this offers a more challenging trek with a rewarding destination – Portovenere. The pace is yours, so we provide a good time to enjoy yourself. It will take at least 7 hours of trekking to arrive in Portovenere. This is not for people who have vertigo, as the trek does go over some thin areas on the outer trail. After your arrival in Portovenere, the time is yours to swim, have a nice lunch, or just stroll the back allies. You will be given your ticket for the boat ride back to Riomaggiore or Monterosso. If the seas become high and all the boats are canceled. In that case, you will take the bus & train back to Cinque Terre. This trek can be 1 to 10 people, the normal average is 1 to 4 people on this tour.
