About the tour

Explore Rome's secret island, Ponza, on a day trip departing from central Rome. Avoid crowded, lacklustre beaches near Rome and enjoy crystal-clear waters 30 nautical miles away in Ponza.

The ferry to Ponza, costing 60 euros (not included, payable at check-in), departs from Anzio, offering a 1.5-hour ride. Upon arrival in Ponza, take a brief break for breakfast and board an excursion boat for an exhilirating 5-hour circumnavigation of Ponza. Discover hidden coves, gravity-defying rock formations, and blue grottoes while your expert tour leader translates the Italian commentary. Make 4-5 stops for swimming and snorkeling, and enjoy a pasta lunch freshly prepared by the captain and served on board, picnic style.

The boat excursion ends at 4:00 PM, providing an hour of free time in Ponza's lively port to enjoy an ice cream or a spritz, or to shop. Board the return ferry to Anzio, reaching central Rome just before 9:00 PM. This organized tour handles logistics, ensuring a worry-free experience.

Opt for the "with snorkel" option to receive your own set of gear, or choose a private experience with hotel pick-up, a guide, skipper, and a private boat. For the private excursion, lunch is not included but can be purchased in the port and brought on board or you can schedule a lunch stop at a restaurant. Ferry tickets for the private experience cost an additional 60 euros (paid at check-in).

The highlight of my trip

Im not sure how anyone can complain about this experience this has been the highlight of my entire trip to Italy and Ive been all over Italy The only downside is I wish I could have done this more than once The journey there is not so bad I slept on the ferry and listened to an audiobook and time passed by fast Also Ell was extremely helpful and went far and above to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed

Panza day trip from Rome

This was an amazing experience and a great way for my husband and I to beat the heat in Rome Mara was an excellent tour guide and you are very lucky if you have her leading your tour Panza was so beautiful and we got 5 opportunities to swim off the boat Lunch was good and we even had expresso and wine on board Highly recommend this trip and we will be back

Ponta snorkel trip

It was a super long day but well worth the time Our host Mara was amazing She was super knowledgeable engaging and funny I was worried that an hours bus and then 15 hour ferry before the boat ride would be too much but it really wasnt The bus was very nice and Mara kept us entertained and then the ferry was shockingly smooth felt more like a bus ride than a ferret Once we got to Ponza it was breath taking The water was so blue and crystal clear it was just stunning 100 I would recommend this Just make sure you read what was excluded I was a little caught off guard about the additional fee for the ferry

Would go back to Rome just for this tour

I would go back to Rome just to do this tour again Luca and Mara were amazing guides who made us feel like one big group just out on a fun day The swimming stops are perfect and often and theres plenty of time for swimming The captain as well as his helper were so much fun and even took a group of us to swim through a cave at one of the stops Other reviews say the boat was too packed but we did not feel that way at all We were a group of about 30 but we never felt too tight If you want some sun I recommend the top part of the boat but either way youre bound to have fun whether its swimming sitting or jumping off the front of the ship If Im ever in Rome again Im definitely doing this tour all over again Pasta was also delicious and they made us feel like one big family inviting us water wine and even coffee after lunch So much fun 100 would do again
