If you tend to get seasick, we recommend you buy appropriate pills in a pharmacy.
In case rough seas cause the Cinque Terre to be unreachable, the tour will cruise the Gulf of La Spezia instead. There will be no reduction in price or refunds made as a result.
Directions: exiting La Spezia Centrale train station, turn left, cross the roundabout and walk through the pedestrian place called Piazza Saint Bon. Enter the pedestrian road Via Prione and follow it until the end where you’ll meet the public gardens. Walk through it and you will get to the sea. Looking at the sea, you will have a white bridge on your right and the ferries’ dock on your left. Go left. Walk past the Cinque Terre ferries dock, and you will see a wooden structure with “Assonautica” written on it: enter and wait in the sitting area for Arcangelo, your skipper. It takes about 20 minutes walking from the train station to the pier.
