Ischia Island Boat Tour with Amalfi Boats in Amalfi

Just off Italy’s famous Amalfi Coast lies Ischia, a volcanic island renowned for its rugged shorelines, thermal springs, and rich cultural heritage. Amalfi Boats offers a full-day private tour that unlocks this island’s secret corners through intimate boat passages and shore excursions. From the waters surrounding Amalfi, the journey sets out to reveal Ischia’s wild beauty — steep cliffs of volcanic rock plunge into crystalline turquoise bays, while farmlands and forests sprawl inland. This isn’t a typical ferry hop; it’s a tailored voyage suited for adventurers looking to connect deeply with both nature and history. Among the highlights is the medieval Aragonese Castle, perched dramatically on an islet connected by a narrow bridge. Its ancient walls testify to centuries of island defense—from Byzantine invasions to the growing maritime significance of the island in the Mediterranean trade routes. Gentle footpaths inside the castle complex offer countless views of the coast and sea. Not far from the fortress lies La Mortella, a botanical garden created by British composer William Walton and his wife Susana. The gardens flourish with rare plants from around the world, offering a lush contrast to the rocky coastal terrain. Strolling its winding pathways is a tranquil experience that connects visitors to Ischia’s subtropical microclimate. Beaches on this island vary from quiet coves accessible only by boat to more lively stretches of sand perfect for a sunny seaside break. The boat tour’s private nature allows customization—whether to swim in hidden coves or anchor near coastal villages humming with local life. Amalfi Boats’ intimate knowledge of the area makes them a standout choice for visitors wanting more than a guidebook itinerary. Offering personalized service and a deep understanding of local culture and natural history, Amalfi Boats perfectly bridges the line between adventure and relaxation. This tour is ideal for travelers looking to see Ischia’s authentic treasures beyond the usual tourist paths, making it one of the most distinctive outdoor experiences around Amalfi.
