Train: The station is Santa Marguerita Ligure, then you have to take either a cab or a bus to Portofino, or you can walk for an hour. I recommend taking the bus to get there and, on your way back, taking a walk because the views are breathtaking and you can stop at several coves and beaches on the way.

By Boat: You can rent a boat, for example, from Cinque Terre and go to Portofino for the day.
