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.
