Boat Trip around Ponza Island with Lunch and Swimming Stops

What to Expect

Meet your English-speaking local guide at Ponza’s main port at 10:30 AM and get ready for an unforgettable day discovering the island. This boat excursion follows, weather and sea conditions permitting, the entire 42 km coastline of Ponza, featuring volcanic rock formations, sea caves, hidden coves, and stunning rocky beaches.

During the cruise, you will visit iconic spots such as Pilate’s Caves, Chiaia di Luna, Capo Bianco, Lucia Rosa, and Cala Feola. The experience includes 4–5 swimming stops of about 25–30 minutes each, with opportunities to swim and snorkel directly from the boat. Your guide will also share fascinating stories about the island’s history, from Neanderthal traces to the Roman era.

A welcome aperitif will be served at boarding. Onboard, the captain will prepare a hot pasta lunch served with wine, drinks, water, fruit, and espresso. Throughout the day, snacks and an open bar will be available. The excursion ends at 5:00 PM with return to Ponza’s main port.
