Relax on a full-day excursion from Rome to Ponza Island with time to swim and explore. Swim in the azure sea, discover sea caves, soak up the sun, enjoy a freshly made seafood pasta lunch, sip wine, and spend spare time on the island. Learn about Ponza’s history and its link to the Greek poet Homer.

The ferry to Ponza (€60, not included, payable at check-in) departs from Anzio and takes 1.5 hours. On arrival, take a short breakfast break, then board an excursion boat for a 5-hour cruise around the island. Discover hidden coves, dramatic rock formations, and sea grottoes while your guide translates the Italian commentary. Make 4–5 stops to swim and snorkel, and enjoy a picnic-style pasta lunch prepared by the captain.

On limited dates, you can also upgrade to a small group (15 max) with a more elaborate lunch: friselle with tomatoes, fish-based pasta, dessert, fruit, water, regional wine, and coffee.

We return to Rome by 9:00 PM.
