Pisa to Cinque Terre

Hi, We are staying in Pisa and are planning to go to Cinque Terre. Need advice please.

We will take the boat along the shoreline.
We would like to hike the trails in the national park.
Can we do it in one day?
Should we stay over one night?
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thank you!

According to AI (artificial intelligence) Cinque Terre ferries operate between Levanto, Portevenere, La Spezia and the Cinque Terre villages. Ferry season is in full swing by mid Apr through Oct.
The hike that allows you to visit the Cinque Terre towns is trail #2, the Sentiero Azzurro and takes all day. You can break it up by visiting the Cinque Terre towns. You will need to purchase a Cinque Terre card to access the trail.
The best views are between Monterosso and Vernazza and is less steep than the direction Vernazza to Monterosso. It will take a half day if you hike this portion only.
