Description
Coasteering itinerary along the coast between Paraggi bay and Portofino: diving, swimming, climbing and lots of fun. Awaken the child in you, give yourself an adrenaline kick!
Coasteering is the evolution of canyoning at sea. A sort of marine trekking, with dives and climbing, moving along a stretch of coast in the intertidal zone, which is the coastal area that depends on the tides.
From Niasca to Baia Cannone in Portofino, the guides take you on a fun, safe journey between land and sea exploring and observing closely the natural wonders of the coastal area.
During the initial briefing, you will be shown the behaviors to be followed for personal safety and for respect for the coast, biodiversity and other people. The return to the base will be on foot.
To carry out this activity it is necessary to be a good swimmer, have a good physical and psychological shape and be used to doing outdoor activities (e.g. trekking).

Highlights
Meeting Point
How to reach us
The meeting point is at our sports center in Niasca, in the Bay of Paraggi. Once in Santa Margherita L. continue towards Portofino until the bay of Paraggi. Passed the inlet of the bay, after 200m on the left you will find a sandy beach where Outdoor Portofino is located. This area has very limited parking areas, especially during summertime. In Paraggi there is a paid parking lot, but we suggest to reach our office by alternative means (bus, boat, bicycle) or walking from Portofino (about 10 minutes) or S. Margherita L. (about 40 minutes).
Here are some suggestions on how to reach us:
By train
The train station of Santa Margherita Ligure/Portofino is reachable from Milan (2 h 30 min), from Genoa (45 min), from Pisa (2 h). You may then continue walking, by bus, boat or taxi.
By bus
With the n. 82 line from the train stations of Santa Margherita Ligure or from Rapallo.
Walking
From Portofino (approx. 10 min.); from Santa Margherita Ligure (approx. 30-40 min.); from Camogli, through the trails of the park of Portofino.
By boat
There are two lines serving the promontory of Portofino. From Santa Margherita Ligure you can reach Portofino with the Consorzio Marittimo del Tigullio. From Genoa, Recco or Camogli, instead, the boat service Golfo Paradiso, embraces the route to San Fruttuoso, from where you can then take the ferries of the Consorzio Marittimo del Tigullio to Portofino.
