About this tour
Escape Rome for a day among the clear waters and rugged coastlines of Ponza and Palmarola. Your journey begins with a transfer from Rome to Anzio, followed by a fast ferry to Ponza, where a boat excursion reveals the islands’ striking scenery and history.
On Ponza, pass hand-carved cisterns dating to ancient Roman times and glide beneath natural arches. Several stops offer time to swim in inviting waters; snorkeling masks may be provided on request. The excursion also includes a brief visit to Palmarola’s pebble beach. Back on board, enjoy a pasta lunch accompanied by white wine. Before the return ferry, take time to browse the small shops along Ponza’s pier.
With a local guide and round-trip transfers from Rome, this Ponza and Palmarola boat excursion brings together coastal exploration, swimming, and a relaxed lunch at sea. Meet your guide at the Piramide metro stop and set out for an island day worth savoring.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 13 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.8. Top 17% in Rome means it ranks in the top 17% of tours in Rome by this score.
