Adventure Tips

Bring swimwear and a towel

You'll want to take a dip at Guvano Beach, so pack swim gear and something to dry off with afterwards.

Arrive early at the dock

Monterosso's harbor gets busy; arrive 15–20 minutes before departure to ensure a smooth boarding process.

Protect yourself from the sun

Wear sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses as you’ll spend hours exposed on the boat’s open deck.

Motion sickness preparation

If you’re prone to seasickness, consider taking medication before the tour, as the sea can be choppy along exposed stretches.
