Tour Itinerary

  • 1

    Your tour begins at the Port of Forio

    Meet your skipper at the harbor and step aboard a comfortable boat. As you pull away, Ischia’s cliffs and pastel towns line up in the distance.
  • 2

    Cruise the west coast past Citara Bay

    Skim over deep blue water toward Citara, with the light house, Punta Imperatore rising ahead. From the sea, glimpse the tiered pools of Poseidon Gardens and the island’s lush and fertile interior thanks to its volcanic and geothermal activity.
  • 3

    Slip into the water near Sant’Angelo

    Next, reach Sant’Angelo, a small seaside village set against bright rock and calm coves. Drop anchor for a swim and snorkel stop, floating in clear water near the shoreline.
  • 4

    Swim beneath the cliffs at Sgarrupata

    Then the boat tucks into Sgarrupata, a dramatic bay only reachable by sea. The water turns intensely blue. Take another swim stop in this private corner of the island.
  • 5

    Enjoy lunch on board with views of the Aragonese Castle

    As the boat rounds the island, the Aragonese Castle appears, a stone silhouette against the sky. Eat lunch on board with drinks, while listening to the sound of the waves.
  • 6

    Your tour ends at the Port of Forio

    Return to Forio in the late afternoon with sun-warmed skin. Step back onto the dock with the sense that you’ve seen Ischia the way it wants to be seen, from the water.
