Some tours also include lunch on board and last around 5 or 6 hours. Of course, the boats stop in the most beautiful places to allow you to take a dip in the crystal clear waters so don’t forget your swimwear!
The places not to be missed in the tour are: Faraglioni del Calzone Muto, Faro della Guardia, Capo Bianco, Faraglioni and Lucia Rosa beach, bay and beach of Fèlece, Core. But the suggestive places that can affect everyone’s sensitivity are also countless others.
If you have a few more days, after the guided tour, you can rent a boat by yourself and return to the places you like most.

Ponza Island is not just sea. To discover it from another perspective, you can venture out on a light trekking inland.
The most classic of the itineraries involves a light walk along a mule track towards Monte Guardia, nothing less than the highest point of Ponza (we are at 280 m asl). From here the panorama is exciting and opens up to the whole archipelago.
Another route is the one that leads to the Roman Necropolis of Bagno Vecchio, a walk of about an hour and a half in the middle of the Mediterranean bush.
There are other trekking routes, also in the islands of Zannone or Palmarola. Ask for information at the reception, we will be happy to help you.
