Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
verified
See the colourful cliffside houses and coastal paradise that makes the Cinque Terre region one of the world's most romantic destinations.
verified
Adventure through the area's most scenic trails on foot, including parts of the classic coastal route. Bike through villages (the best way to cover ground) and kayak on the sparkling Mediterranean Sea to a sandy beach.
verified
Choose your own adventure – if you'd rather spend more time relaxing on the beach, there's some flexibility to take a train instead of hiking, just let your local leader know!
verified
Enjoy delicious Italian cuisine and afternoon aperitifs overlooking the cliffs, village views and the deep blue of the ocean.
verified
Discover a swathe of medieval architecture, like the castle and churches of Levanto and the Abbey of San Fruttuoso.
Is this trip right for you?
verified
This multi-activity trip requires a good level of fitness and health for the hiking, biking and kayaking. Many of the walks involve steep hills and steps that you'll need to be able to climb. Walking times vary between three and six hours a day, but the rewards are worth every step.
verified
Please note that recent landslides have ruined many paths along the Cinque Terre coastal route. As maintenance is being carried out in some areas, some daily walks may vary and will sometimes be replaced by walks of a higher physical rating. Your leader will update you and offer alternative walks.
verified
Summer temperatures in Italy can be extreme (up to 40°C). It’s important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability for that season.
verified
As accommodation on this trip is twin-share, single travellers will share a room with another traveller of the same sex. If you’d prefer not to share, a single room supplement is bookable at an additional charge, subject to availability. Please ask your booking agent for more details.
Itinerary
Hike, bike and kayak your way through the colourful Cinque Terre
Explore a surreal region of Italy that looks straight out of a postcard (only better) with this eight-day multi-active trip. The houses are painted in multi-coloured shades, the sea is brighter than the sky, and the sun beams down brightly – welcome to the Cinque Terre. This jewel of Europe changes with the light of the day and is best explored on foot, on a bike or on a kayak. On this trip, you’ll witness natural beauty on all three! Cycle past olive groves, hike to medieval monuments, kayak to sandy beaches and refuel your energy every afternoon with cocktails and carbs. This is living!

Our Cinque Terre Hiking, Biking and Kayaking trip exceeded our expectations! Basically the locations and views were varying degrees of "beautiful!". Our Leader, V, is caring, knowledgeable and responsible, with a fantastic sense of humour. The memories we made spending 7 days with V and the 8 other guests from Australia, New Zealand and Alberta will last a lifetime!
