By joining this exclusive and elite tour, you'll have the chance to discover the wonders of the island of Ischia from a completely new perspective: directly from the sea! All activities are private, and no one else, apart from the number of people you've booked, will be joining this incredible experience. If you're looking for exclusive experiences in small, intimate groups, as a couple, or as a solo traveller, avoiding crowded places and fully enjoying the experience at sea, this is the perfect tour for you!
On a SUP board or kayak, you'll cruise along the island's east side. Starting right from Ischia Ponte, you'll meet your guide and set off to discover the majestic and iconic Aragonese Castle. Then, you'll venture into the rocks of Sant'Anna and reach Cartaromana Beach for some relaxation in the natural thermal pools overlooking the Aragonese Castle. Dive in at the foot of the Castle and swim in the crystal-clear green waters, admiring the seabed covered with Posidonia Oceanica.
For a unique and special experience, don't miss the opportunity to admire the sunrise and the colours of the rising sun directly from the sea, just a few metres from the Aragonese Castle. You won't be able to resist swimming in the clear, calm waters warmed by the first rays of the sun.
SUP boards are always available, with the option to request a kayak as an alternative, subject to availability. Never been on a SUP? Don't worry! You'll start paddling comfortably seated, just like in a kayak. You won't be able to resist the urge to try standing up, following the guide's advice. You're guaranteed to have a blast!
During this incredible experience at sea, you'll be able to see:
- the Aragonese Castle, the marine area of the Kingdom of Neptune, and the seabed covered by Poseidonia Oceanica
- the Rocks of Sant'Anna, the Guevara Tower, and the Church of Sant'Anna
- Cartaromana Beach and the natural thermal pools
It's not just the sea: check out the island's lush green mountains!
During the tour, enjoy a coffee and snack break on the beach or directly on board the SUP.
Each participant will be provided with paddles, a life jacket, a smartphone cover, a 10L waterproof bag, and a bottle of water. In an initial briefing, we'll explain how to stay safe on board the SUP/kayak and how to use the paddles correctly.
Bring the bare minimum: sun cream, a hat, a t-shirt, and/or a windbreaker.
You can safely store your bags and backpacks on site.
While it's not super strenuous, this tour requires moderate effort, and you absolutely MUST know how to swim. You must be at least 18 years old and under 70 years old to participate.
The meeting point is in Ischia Ponte near Piazzale delle Alghe. The tour starts and ends at the same place.
