- beautiful excursion, the food was great and the staff friendly and helpful. I recommend it because you see beautiful coves, is not included Palmarola but it is still worth it

Great day in Ponza - This excursion was so much fun! What a great way to see the island from a different perspective, learn so much, and the lunch was delicious! The swimming spots were picture perfect. Amazing way to spend the day in Ponza

A Dream Day with Ricardo - We took a private tour (three women) with Ricardo who toured with us around the island of Ponza. Massimo drove the boat and we had an incredible time. Ricardo shared history of the island and was so fun and delightful. We stopped and swam and snorkeled....a dream day.

Beautiful day - Plan for a very long day if you're departing from Rome. This island was gorgeous, the tour guide was friendly. Lunch was simple but oh so tasty. Bring extra drinking water and lots of sunscreen. Would definitely recommend, especially if you are looking for something unique to do on vacation!

Had a great time! - The views were absolutely amazing! The water was incredible and our tour guide Valerio was awesome! He was fun and friendly and very knowledgeable. The lunch was definitely an experience (as an American tuna in tomato sauce with olives over pasta was not something I was expecting) but not a bad meal, and there was a plain pasta alternative. Definitely bring sunblock and a wet/dry bag for clothes to change into after the boat. The shops and cafés on Ponza Island were very nice, more like boutiques instead of cheap plastic souvenir shops. Highly recommend! Will be going back to Ponza to stay for longer.

We're going for a day... - We went sailing for a day. DE rental of DE snorkels was 30 euros pp. DE lunch was delicious but very basic. So all in all, way too much money for this trip.

Misleading, Disorganized, & Disappointing - Even if we had not been on the superior Ponzesi per Scelta Jolly boat to Palmarola the day before taking this tour, we would have been disappointed by the overpriced, underwhelming Ponza boat tour trio by EcoArt Travel, which was unprofessional and misleading. Firstly, the confirmation stated the tour left at 10:30, so we arrived early to not be late. The tour did not leave until after 11:00, so we wasted time waiting in the hot sun for the guide who SHOWED UP at 10:30. The crew consisted of the captain and 2 teenage boys, one who barely stopped making out with his pouty girlfriend for the 5 hour trip right in front of everyone on the small boat. The “lunch” finally served at 3:30, consisted of a bowl of pasta and A CUP OF WATER. The great Ponsezi per Scelta trip served plenty of tomato topped bruschetta, 3 different types of pizza, pasta, and a torte for dessert. In addition, the fun, professional crew walked around serving prosecco and there was a huge ice chest full of canned drinks, including beer and sodas. That tour was 2/3 the price of the Ponza trip! The Ponsezi boat has bunches of noodles and many inflatables for the passengers, while this Ponza boat had 3 old, worn-out noodles. It was telling that when the “dessert boat” cruised up to yesterday’s boat, everyone was so full from a great lunch, that NOT ONE person bought anything. When the dessert boat came up to the Ponza boat, over half the passengers lined up to buy ice cream and drinks because we were so hungry. I felt totally ripped off and scammed by the EcoArt Travel boat to Ponza trip. Take my advice and go with Ponsezi per Scelta Mickey Mouse or Jolly boat instead, whose tour is offered on TripAdvisor.
