Specialty offerings include private marriage proposal cruises, bachelor and bachelorette parties aboard a distinct pink boat, and dedicated snorkel stops at waterfalls and sea caves. Hyena 5 Terre Boat Tour emphasizes local knowledge of hidden sea caves, cliffs, and swim spots visible only from the water. Each itinerary highlights Ligurian coastal scenery, safe anchoring points for swimming, and flexible return options.
