Already staying on Italy's coast? This is the experience for you. Skip the long transfer from Rome and meet us directly at Anzio Port to board the fast ferry to Ponza for a 1h 30m crossing. Once on the island, set off on a 5-hour boat tour around Ponza's most spectacular shoreline — past dramatic white cliffs, sea caves, and hidden coves. Your captain and tour leader pick swim stops based on real-time conditions to find the best available coves of the day. Cool off in crystal-clear water, snorkel through the marine life, and relax on board with a freshly prepared pasta lunch served picnic-style with local wine and espresso. The English- and Italian-speaking guide shares the island's history, geology, and the legends behind landmarks like the Grottoes of Pilatus, Chiaia di Luna beach, and the Natural Arch. After a return ferry transfer, the day finishes back in Anzio in the early evening.

Direct departure from Anzio, round trip ferry tickets included.
5-hour scenic boat tour around Ponza's breathtaking coastline.
