Our boat trip circumnavigates the island of Ponza stopping at all of the best swimming and snorkeling spots, sea caves and scenic coves.
Heading out of the port of Ponza we will come across the Grottos of Pilatus, carved by the ancient Romans.
Passing by the southern tip of the island, glancing up we will notice the Guardia lighthouse, one of the most important on the coast.
Your guide will share the legend that gives this scenic cove an extra air of mystery.
At White Point, if sea conditions allow we will swim through a blue grotto from end to end.
The Natural Pools are a popular swimming spot in Ponza for those visiting by land, we will enjoy a view as we pass by boat.
In the Cove of the Water there was once a bountiful source of natural spring water the ancient Romans used.
Another popular swimming area with those visiting by land, a tiny boat takes guests back and forth to sun on a giant "scoglio".
A medieval lookout point and the site where an American landing ship tank sank in WWII during a storm.
Cala Cecata tells the story of the island's industrial past, once a bentonite mine, now it's a swimming area.
One of Ponza's most colorful coves, Cala Felci has characteristic fern plants that stand in stark contrast to the bright yellow on the cliff walls - sulphur - a reminder of the island's volcanic origins.
Picturesque Punta Incenso is the northernmost tip of the island and marks the starting point for an exploration of the eastern side of the island.
A popular swimming spot on the island's east side, reachable by land only through a treacherous descent of over 200 steps.
Surely the most photographed rock formation in Ponza, the Natural Arch is an obvious stop -- make sure to hug or kiss your special someone as we pass by to guarantee lifelong love and happiness.
Ponza does not have many beaches, but this pebble beach is the closest to the port and the most popular. It's also our last stop before heading back to the port.
Back in Ponza's port in the late afternoon, enjoy about 2 hours of free time to wander the historic center, enjoy an aperitivo or a gelato and explore the shops before the 18:40 ferry back to Terracina.
