About the tour

Explore Rome's secret island, Ponza, on a day trip departing from central Rome. Avoid crowded, lacklustre beaches near Rome and enjoy crystal-clear waters 30 nautical miles away in Ponza.

The ferry to Ponza, costing 50 euros (not included, payable at check-in), departs from Anzio, offering a 1.5-hour ride. Upon arrival in Ponza, take a brief break for breakfast and board an excursion boat for an exhilirating 5-hour circumnavigation of Ponza. Discover hidden coves, gravity-defying rock formations, and blue grottoes while your expert tour leader translates the Italian commentary. Make 4-5 stops for swimming and snorkeling, and enjoy a pasta lunch freshly prepared by the captain and served on board, picnic style.

The boat excursion ends at 4:00 PM, providing an hour of free time in Ponza's lively port to enjoy an ice cream or a spritz, or to shop. Board the return ferry to Anzio, reaching central Rome just before 9:00 PM. This organized tour handles logistics, ensuring a worry-free experience.

Opt for the "with snorkel" option to receive your own set of gear, or choose a private experience with hotel pick-up, a guide, skipper, and a private boat. For the private excursion, lunch is not included but can be purchased in the port and brought on board or you can schedule a lunch stop at a restaurant. Ferry tickets for the private experience cost an additional 50 euros (paid at check-in).

Amazing boat tour around the hidden gem of Ponza The information communication and coordination for this day trip were excellent

Amazing boat tour around the hidden gem of Ponza The information communication and coordination for this day trip were excellent It was a long day for sure 14 hours but so well worth it and since the company and guide took care of all details and were well organized it was easy to follow along with the group for a stressfree enjoyable day I knew Ponza itself would be beautiful but I was blown away by the landscape and water quite possibly the most amazing and place Ive ever visited Riccardo our guide was so friendly helpful knowledgeable and did an excellent job The boat for the tour was comfortable and we stopped to swim 4 times including 30 minutes to explore a gorgeous grotto We had 1 hour 15 minutes to explore the town which was more than enough the town is not the draw for this tour it is a string of OK shops but the cafe at the dock has good fresh fruit and pizza If you have the day available dont hesitate to book this tour
