I've been snorkeling many times before, but never in Italy or Cinque Terre, so I didn't know what to expect. The trip was fine, just not really worth the 74 euro we paid for two people. We went out, they tied to a buoy less than 5 minutes from the port and several SCUBA divers started a dive, then the very friendly guide told us to jump in and swim along the rocks. The rocks had lots of fish, but other than that there wasn't much else to see. We also didn't know how long we would be out for so I kept checking to see if the guide was trying to call us back to the boat (he stayed on the boat, which was fine). We kind of got bored and were relieved when he called us back. Then we weren't sure if we were going to a second location or not. We went back to shore so the divers could get fresh air tanks (I think?) and we got off. The guide asked if we had a good time, and told us to have a good day. We got the hint and left. It was fine, just keep your expectations in check.
