- Grotte di Pilato - Named after Pontius Pilate, these grottoes are an exciting first stop on the itinerary.
- Chiaia Di Luna - This smooth, moon-colored cliff is a favorite stop in Ponza. The tour leader will share the romantic legend behind its name. If sea conditions permit, there may be a swim stop here.
- Punta Di Capo Bianco - This unique bright white rock formation is made from compressed volcanic ash. A long grotto runs through the cliff, and at noon, the sun creates spectacular blue reflections in the water, illuminating the grotto. Adventurous guests can swim through the grotto end to end if sea conditions allow, guided by the tour leader.
- Piscine Naturali - Known as the “Natural Pools,” this popular swimming area is carved into the rocks by nature, creating perfect swimming pools.
- Cala Feola - Cala Feola is Ponza’s second port for smaller boats and is the main area of a quieter side of the island.
- Cala dell’Acqua - Although Ponza no longer has its own water source, remnants can be seen in this cove, named “of the water” for this reason. Tiny waterfalls trickle down the cliffside from what remains of Ponza’s natural spring. The ruins of an ancient Roman aqueduct that once carried water throughout the island are also visible.
- Cala Fonte - Another beautiful little cove, most easily reached by boat.
- Cala Cecata - This cove is rich in history. The tour will float over the spot where an American landing ship tank sank during a WWII storm, now a popular diving site. Guests can also see the remnants of a mine that once provided jobs to the Ponzan people. The mine’s closure marked a shift in the island’s economy towards fishing and tourism.
- Cala Felci - Nearing the northernmost tip of Ponza, the colorful “Felci Cove” features cliffs colored bright yellow by sulfur, contrasting with the sparkling emerald sea. This common swimming spot is likely where the tour will drop anchor to explore.
- Arco Naturale - As a volcanic island, Ponza’s soft rock is constantly shaped by the sea. The “Natural Arch” is a giant sea stack hollowed out in the center, forming an enormous rock arch large enough for a boat to pass under.
- Spiaggia Di Frontone - The final stop before returning to port is the Beach of “Frontone,” the island’s most popular beach, often crowded with Italian sunbathers even at the end of the day.
