More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard a low-profile Sciallino gozzo as the harbor light slices the morning sea; the engine hum is steady, the spray cool on your face. The boat threads between rocky promontories, past the mushroom rock of Lacco Ameno, and into bays where the water turns an honest turquoise. Over eight hours the skipper choreographs a private route—hidden coves for snorkelling, thermal-infused pools in Sorgeto, and the postcard view of Ischia Ponte’s Aragonese Castle.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Local waters host Posidonia seagrass—use mineral-based sunscreen to protect marine life and your skin under full sun.
Prepare for seasickness
If you’re prone to nausea, take motion-sickness meds before boarding and sit mid-boat where movement is gentlest.
Carry cash for beach stops
Small bars and beach vendors may not accept cards—bring euros for snacks, lockers, or drinks ashore.
Wear water shoes
Rocky coves and thermal pools can be uneven—light water shoes make entering and exiting the water safer.
