Full Day Boat Trip to Ponza Island from Anzio with Ferry & Lunch

What to Expect

Embark on an unforgettable journey to the beautiful island of Ponza, starting from the Port of Anzio, which can be easily reached from Rome in approximately one hour by train. Meet your English-speaking tour escort at the port and board the fast ferry bound for one of the Mediterranean’s most enchanting islands. After a pleasant 90-minute crossing, you will arrive in a true paradise surrounded by crystal-clear waters.

Upon arrival at Ponza’s main harbor, you will have some free time before boarding a smaller boat for a spectacular island tour. Accompanied by an experienced English-speaking local guide, you will discover the fascinating history, legends, and natural beauty of this volcanic island while cruising along its stunning coastline. During the approximately six-hour boat excursion, you will explore some of Ponza’s most picturesque bays, sea caves, and rocky beaches, with several stops for swimming and snorkeling in the island’s turquoise waters.

Among the highlights of the tour are the famous Pilate’s Caves, Chiaia di Luna, Punta Capo Bianco, Lucia Rosa, Cala Feola, and numerous hidden coves accessible only by sea. A welcome aperitif will be served at the beginning of the excursion, while throughout the day you will enjoy a delicious onboard lunch prepared by the captain, featuring traditional Italian pasta. Wine, soft drinks, water, snacks, fresh fruit, and espresso coffee are also included, together with unlimited access to the open bar during the cruise.

At the end of the boat tour, you will return to Ponza’s main harbor, where you will have some free time to stroll through the charming streets, enjoy an ice cream, or simply relax before departure. The return ferry to Anzio departs at 5:30 PM, concluding a memorable day of discovery, relaxation, and breathtaking coastal scenery.
