From Rome: Ponza Island Day Trip with Boat Tour and Optional Snorkeling

Cruise through Ponza Island's Waters

Explore the hidden caves and beaches in Ponza Island on a day trip from Rome. Led by an English-speaking tour leader, embark on a scenic journey to Anzio, Rome’s closest port. From here, a 1.5-hour fast ferry ride takes you to the Ponza port. Take a short break to enjoy breakfast or pick snacks at your own expense before the ride begins!

Sail, swim & snorkel

As you sail on the pristine waters, witness sights like the Arco Naturale, a natural rock formation that resembles an arc, and the Guard's Lighthouse, one of the oldest lighthouses in Italy. The famous crescent-shaped Moon Rock Beach and Lucia Rosa's Cove surrounded by rocky cliffs, are sights worth looking out for! The captain will also take you to the best spots for snorkeling where it's easier to spot colorful fish, fascinating underwater rock formations, and friendly sea turtles.

Delight in a simple pasta paired with a delicate wine and Italian espresso prepared by the captain and first mate. Ponza’s bustling port, colorful shops, and cafes call for a short exploration, so step off the boat for an hour and grab a gelato or prosecco to celebrate a day well-spent.
