OutBe is an adventure operator based in Camogli, Liguria, offering guided outdoor experiences along the Ligurian coast. Specializing in small-group snorkeling, kayaking, coasteering, stand-up paddleboarding and guided treks, OutBe connects visitors with the marine environments of Portofino, Paraggi and the Cinque Terre. Many experiences include conservation and education elements such as eco snorkeling with environmental monitoring and eco trekking that highlights local biodiversity. Trips are led by certified local guides who focus on safety, respectful interaction with wildlife and low-impact tourism. Group sizes are kept intentionally small to protect fragile coastal habitats and to provide personalized instruction for beginners and families; several excursions welcome children aged six and up. Equipment rental is available through a pre-registration system so guests can secure snorkels, kayaks and paddles in advance. OutBe operates both day tours and sunset experiences, including kayak-and-wine aperitifs and guided snorkeling in protected bays like Paraggi. The provider emphasizes clear safety briefings, basic training on flotation and snorkel techniques, and suitable gear such as beach shoes and sun protection.
