Escape the crowds and discover Ponza on a fully private day trip designed for comfort, flexibility, and a more authentic experience. Depart from central Rome with a private transfer, meet your guide in Anzio, or travel independently from Terracina, Formia or San Felice Circeo and meet your guide in Ponza — ferry tickets are arranged and sent in advance for seamless boarding. Once in Ponza, step aboard a private traditional gozzo boat, reserved just for you. Spend around five hours exploring the island’s coastline, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and discovering hidden coves and grottoes far from the crowds. With a dedicated guide, the pace is relaxed and personal. Lunch is enjoyed during the boat tour — we recommend purchasing a to-go meal in Ponza before departure, or we can arrange a stop at a seaside restaurant along the coast midway through the day. After the tour, enjoy free time to explore the harbor before returning in the late afternoon.
