Step by Step
Discover the most spectacular jewel of the Italian Riviera with this private trail through the Portofino Regional Natural Park, a protected enclave of cork oak forests, wild pines and viewpoints that reveal the deep blue Ligurian Sea. Your local guide, an expert in the area, will accompany you step by step, sharing stories of the region's flora, fauna and seafaring tradition.
The route starts at the Piazzetta of Portofino, where you will be greeted by your guide with an ODUSIA VIAGGI sign. From there, you will climb along ancient cobbled roads and concrete paths to the top of the promontory, overlooking elegant villas and secret coves. Each bend offers a different perspective of the harbour and its luxury yachts.
After about 3 hours of walking, you will reach the bay of San Fruttuoso, accessible only on foot or by boat, where time seems to have stopped. Here you will enjoy a typical snack (local focaccia and water) while relaxing on the pebble beach. Afterwards you will have free time to explore the medieval abbey and, for the more adventurous, admire the Christ of the Abysses while snorkelling or scuba diving.
To end the day, you will embark on a panoramic ferry back to Portofino, a dreamlike journey where the seascape and cliffs loom on either side. This boat trip will allow you to see the coast from a unique perspective once again, before returning to the starting point.
With this private tour, you will enjoy a pace that is totally adapted to your desires, avoiding the crowds and with the comfort of having a guide just for your group. It's the perfect way to experience the authentic Italian Riviera away from the mass tourist circuits.
