Come from Rome to do this trip stay on the island and ask for a pool noodle
We throughly enjoyed this boat trip after 5 days in Rome it was a welcome change in scenery The water was crystal clear the boat had an upper deck that we could just lie on and we had 5 swim stops The Island of Ponza is really beautiful and the tour was interesting as well our travel companions said it was nicer than the Amalfi tour they did
We stayed in Nettuno and it was fairly easy to get to Anzio by train and then take the ferry to ponza but check the train times in advance because there are not a lot of taxis in this region We also brought snacks because the reviews said the food wasnt good but we enjoyed the pasta it was simple but sometimes thats all you need and they will keep giving you food and wine so dont worry about being hungry
The snorkeling is okay there are a lot of fish but they are all the same colour and theres no coral or anything so if you dont get the snorkel option youd be okay most of the beautiful sights are above the water
Also they had pool noodles which I recommend using because one of the swim spots is a little choppy and also its just nicer to float and relax sometimes Also there was this American who found himself exhausted and couldnt make it back to the boat so my partner gave him his pool noodle and swam back but if we hadnt been there I dont know what would have happened to him Just ask for a pool noodle dont be embarrassed to ask
Im not sure how expensive it is to stay on Ponza we did not we took the ferry home but I would have liked too if I had known how beautiful the island is

A perfect rest for weary sight seers
This is the perfect tour for anyone needing a refreshing pause of touring Rome The island is enchanting You have 5 swimming options for 20 minutes each all around the islands The water is crystal clean and you swim through the grottos No need for advanced swim skills Not rushed The whole trip is 100 perfect chill There is a difference between a trip and a vacation and at this tour our trip turned into vacation High recommendation
