Description


Planning a trip to Ponza? Meet us directly at Anzio Port and we'll take care of all of the tickets details for you. You'll benefit from the knowledge and assistance of an expert English-speaking Tour Leader throughout the day. Want to remain on the island for one or more nights? Just choose our one way option and organize your own ferry ticket back. If not, choose the round-trip option you will return to Anzio Port at the end of the day.

You day begins at lovely Anzio port where you will meet your English-speaking Ponza expert and check in. Shortly after, you'll board the fast ferry to Ponza which is a 1.5 hour ride. Upon arrival in Ponza, you'll have a small amount of free time before boarding a 5-hr boat excursion for the day.

Your captain for the excursion is a local Ponzan who will share tales and legends from the islands history - and you won't miss a word thanks to the translating skills of your English speaking tour leader. Ponza has been inhabited since pre-history, and everyone from the estruscans to the greeks to the Ancient Romans have left their mark here. Here ancient ruins intermingle with wild beauty in hidden coves and grottoes.

Your 5 hours boat excursion, weather and waves permitting, circumnavigates the entire island of Ponza and stops 4-5 times in the island's most scenic swimming stops. At each stop you will have time to swim, snorkel, sunbathe and possible even swim inside a blue grotto (sea cave) or two!

Lunchtime features an extended stop during which the captain and his first make will prepare a simple pic-nic style pasta lunch served on board with water, wine and espresso. You'll share this experience with other Italians who are on vacation - just you like you - which will give you the unique opportunity to indulge yourself in local culture.

At the conclusion of the boat trip, there will be about an hour of free time to explore Ponza's tiny colorful port. It's a great momento to indulge in a glass of prosecco or enjoy a gelato. It's up to you!

The ferry returning to the mainland departs at 5:30PM for those who have booked the round trip option. Otherwise, you will be free to organize your own return ferry transfer to the mainland at your leisure.
