Itinerary

  • Isola di Ponza

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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.
  • Grotte di Pilato

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    These grottoes named for Pontious Pilate are an exciting first stop for our itinerary.
  • Chiaia Di Luna

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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.
  • Capo Bianco

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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!
  • Piscine Naturali(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    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.
  • Cala Feola(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    Cala Feola is Ponza's second port, for smaller boats and is the main area of a quieter side of the island.
  • Cala dell'Acqua

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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.
  • Cala Fonte(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    Another beautiful little cove most easily reached by boat.
  • Cala Cecata

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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.
  • Cala Felci

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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.
  • Arco Naturale

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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.
  • Spiaggia Di Frontone

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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.
