What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Ponza Island Italy
We will circumnavigate the island of Ponza by boat stopping along the way 5 times to swim and snorkel (must provide own snorkeling gear). Lunch is served on board.
Duration: 5 hours
Stop At: Grotte di Pilato, Ponza Island Italy
These grottoes named for Pontious Pilate are an exciting first stop for our itinerary.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Chiaia Di Luna, 04027, Ponza Island Italy
This smooth, moon colored cliff is a favorite stop in Ponza. Your tour leader will describe the romantic legend that gives the cliff its name. If the sea conditions are right, we might even have a swim stop here.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Punta Di Capo Bianco, Via Guarini, 04027, Ponza Island Italy
This unique rock formation is bright white, and thats because it was formed from compressed volcanic ash called. There is even a long grotto that runs straight through the cliff here, and at noon the sun creates spectacular blue reflections in the water, retro-illuminating the grotto. Are you adventurous enough to swim through the grotto end to end? If the sea conditions are right, join your tour leader for this unique experience!
Duration: 20 minutes
Pass By: Piscine Naturali, Via Chiesa Le Forna, 04020, Ponza Island Italy
One of the more popular swimming areas reachable by land, the "Natural Pools" are a sight to behold... perfect swimming pools carved into the rocks by nature.
Pass By: Cala Feola, Ponza Island Italy
Cala Feola is Ponza's second port, for smaller boats and is the main area of a quieter side of the island.
Stop At: Cala dell'Acqua, Via Provinciale le Forna, 04027, Ponza Island Italy
Today Ponza doesn't have its own water source, but long ago, it did and we can see the remnants here in this cove, called "of the water" just for this reason. Note the tiny waterfalls trickling down the cliffside... runoff from what is left of Ponza natural spring. You can also still see the ruins of an ancient Roman aqueduct that once carried the water throughout the island.
Duration: 15 minutes
Pass By: Cala Fonte, Via Calacaparra, 04027, Ponza Island Italy
Another beautiful little cove most easily reached by boat.
Stop At: Cala Cecata, Località La Piana, Ponza Island Italy
Lots of history near this little cove. We'll float over the spot where an American landing ship tank sunk during a storm in WWII, a popular spot for divers today. Survey the remnants of a mine that once provided jobs to the Ponzan people. The closure of the mine marked a turning point in the history of the island, to an economy based heavily on fishing and tourism.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Cala Felci, Ponza Island Italy
Nearing the northernmost tip of Ponza, we'll discover the colorful "Felci Cove". Here, sulphur has colored the cliff walls a bright yellow which contracts with the sparkling emerald of the sea here. This is a common swimming spot, and we'll likely drop anchor here to explore.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Arco Naturale, Ponza Island Italy
Ponza is a volcanic island, meaning the rock here is soft and constantly being shaped and moulded by the sea. No better example of this can be seen than here, at the "Natural Arch" -- a giant sea stack which has been hollowed out in the center forming an enormous rock arch, big enough to pass a boat under.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Spiaggia Di Frontone, Via Provinciale, 04027, Ponza Island Italy
The last stop before heading back to port is the Beach of "Frontone". This is the most popular beach on the island and even at the end of the day it is crowded with Italian sunbathers.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Centro Storico di Ponza, Ponza Island Italy
From when we reach the port and disembark, you will be free to explore the historic center of Ponza. Soak in the end of day atmosphere, have a fresh cold aperitivo or head to the shops: there is something for everyone here.
Duration: 1 hour

Giniya was amazing! This was the highlight of my 3 week long trip to multiple countries. I was a little hesitant to book this because I have a teenager who hates early morning anything. He had the best time and will never forget it! I am so glad I booked it, zero regrets!

From the moment our guide and driver picked us up this trip was amazing. The car took us to the ferry and the ferry to the island. There we met our captain for the day and we were off. The history, the sights and the swimming were perfect. Our captain made us a special snack with vegetables from his garden. We opted to stop for lunch, which broke up our day. Then more swimming and snorkeling. Finally we had about an hour to explore the shops before the trip back. It is a long day, but very with it.sarah_g

For anyone thinking is this trip worth it I can say that's a 100% YES without any hesitation. I took my 15 year old daughter on it after a few days sightseeing in Rome and its a perfect way to relax while soaking up some sun. The scenery was unbelievable, the snorkelling was amazing and everything was perfect from start to finish. Giniya our tour guide, she was super friending and made the whole trip so easy for us just to relax and enjoy ourselves. We managed to see some amazing things on our Dad and daughter week in Italy and I can say this was one of the highlights of our visit. Would highly recommend!RoAli13
