The hull parts the glittering Tyrrhenian; salt and lemon oil hang in the air as your skipper eases the gozzo away from the quay. Wave-cut cliffs slide by—white chapels on dark rock, a mushroom-shaped tuff outcrop called Il Fungo, and the tiny, stacked houses of Sant'Angelo leaning toward the sea.

The hull parts the glittering Tyrrhenian; salt and lemon oil hang in the air as your skipper eases the gozzo away from the quay. Wave-cut cliffs slide by—white chapels on dark rock, a mushroom-shaped tuff outcrop called Il Fungo, and the tiny, stacked houses of Sant'Angelo leaning toward the sea.
Ischia's story is written in fire and water: volcanic domes and pumice born from eruptions hundreds of thousands of years ago, thermal springs that have drawn Romans and modern spa seekers, and fishing villages that kept a simple rhythm through the centuries. From the Aragonese Castle's trachytic island to the green-lit caverns visible only from a boat, geology shapes every view and the island's culture remains quietly maritime.
Expect calm cruising punctuated by exploratory stops—snorkelling in Scarrupata's clear coves, a dip in Sorgeto's warm springs, a photo stop at Il Fungo, and a slow glide past Sant'Angelo. The skipper offers local anecdotes and points out ecological quirks: posidonia meadows, seasonal seabirds, and the volcanic seams underfoot.
Practical note: this private, 7-hour tour runs from shared meeting points at Ischia’s main piers; snorkel gear is supplied and bottled water and soft drinks are included. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel (provided but bring a spare if you prefer), a swim top for thermal pools, and a light layer for breeze on the open water. Plan for a mid-morning start to avoid midday congestion and to catch the clearest underwater visibility for snorkelling.
Yes—snorkelling masks and basic equipment are provided as part of the tour inclusions.
The operator meets guests at designated piers in Ischia (several central pick-up points listed); expect a short step from quay to boat with staff assistance.
The tour visits Sorgeto’s thermal waters with opportunities to swim in warm inlets; access is by boat and may require short swims from the tender.
Full refund available if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure; the tour may be canceled for bad weather.
