Itinerary
Meet at about 11:45 am at the Restaurant L'Altra Mezzanotte, at the Port of Ischia. Here you will meet the crew and get on board a comfortable “gozzo sorrentino”.
Departure for Procida and tour of the island by boat. During the trip you can admire the islet of Vivara, a crescent-shaped small island, uninhabited and connected to the island by a long bridge, that can only be crossed on foot. Small, wild and unspoiled, with its clear waters and marine plants, Vivara has been declared State Nature Reserve in 2002.
The tour continues to Pozzo Vecchio beach, which became famous for being the set of Massimo Troisi's last movie “Il Postino”. Enclosed in a beautiful natural bay, with dark volcanic sand and crystal clear water, here we will stop for a swim.
Then we will head to Terra Murata, which you can admire from the unique perspective of the sea. Terra Murata is the oldest settlement on the island, fortified and overlooking the sea. Here you will find the former prison of Palazzo d'Avalos and the Abbey of San Michele.
Just beyond Punta Monaci, you will find yourself in front of the wonderful village of Marina di Corricella, the symbol of the island in the world, with its interlacement of arches, domes, windows, stairs and multicoloured facades. The bay that surrounds Corricella is the perfect place to dive and then lie in the sun.
Another point of interest is the bay of Chiaiozza, a real gem that not everyone knows: a natural pool carved into the rock and well hidden among the rocks near the marina of Chiaiolella.
During the tour there will be stops to swim and snorkel, snacks and cold drinks are offered on board. There will be also a 1 or 2 hour stop at the port, during which you can explore Procida on foot. The tour ends with the return to the port of Ischia, scheduled at about 15:00.

5Great excursion
Great boat excursion. Friendly staff. Tour stopped in Procida, which is near and fun to explore. Definitely recommend.
5Great day on the water
There were only two couples on our trip (including us) so it was like a private tour. Two swim stops, one hour at Procida, snacks and drinks. The crew was fantastic. The only con is that it felt like we were a bit rushed. Our tour was 3 hours from meeting time to dropoff as they clearly had another group booked to pick up 15 minutes after they dropped us off.
5Unforgettable Adventure Through Ischia and Procida!
Luca and his shipmate were excellent tour guides. They took us on a detailed and engaging journey through the islands, sharing interesting historical facts and local stories. Throughout the tour, they were courteous, attentive to our needs, and always ready to assist, making the experience both enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend them. My husband and I will definitely book with them again

Ischia is the largest island in the Bay of Naples, a green volcanic cone whose peak, Monte Epomeo, rises to nearly 800 metres. Hot springs bubble up across the island, feeding thermal parks and spa hotels, and the main towns are Ischia Porto, Ischia Ponte, Forio and Lacco Ameno. The Aragonese Castle, set on a rocky islet joined to the shore by a causeway, stands on the site of ancient fortifications and was rebuilt in the fifteenth century.
