Description

Step aboard our exclusive boat and set out to explore the stunning islands of Procida and Ischia, both famous for their unspoiled natural beauty and lush Mediterranean landscapes. Your day begins with a convenient pickup from the meeting point in Sorrento, followed by a transfer to the departure port. From there, we’ll set sail towards Ischia for a scenic coastal cruise. Along the way, admire breathtaking landmarks such as the Aragonese Castle, Maronti Beach, and the Sorgeto Bay, as well as Nisida Islet and the Phlegraean Fields. Enjoy approximately 3 hours of free time on Ischia to explore the island at your own pace. Afterwards, we’ll continue to Procida for a panoramic boat tour around the island, with swimming stops in crystal-clear waters and a relaxing break on board with snacks and drinks provided. You’ll also have around 1.5 hours of free time to discover this charming island on your own. After a full day of sea, you’ll head back from Procida to Sorrento port.

Tour guides great; office disorganized

The actual tour itself (with Luca and Anna as our guides) was an overall positive experience. However, the office and their procedures made NO sense. We were told to walk to a meeting point (a large public parking area that many agencies use). But there was no signage to help people check in. I happened upon my contact person just by happenstance. Others were taking day trips to different places (Amalfi, Vesuvius, etc). Took a van ride thinking it was just about getting to the Marina at the bottom of the cliff, but no! We drove (in circles) to a neighboring town where we got dropped on a random street corner. Along with the same people who had boarded other vans for other itineraries. We walked to an elevator that took us to the Marina in that town and had to get tickets with numbers to know which group to go with. But tour guides started calling groups well before everyone had their tickets and so people were anxious and confused. After finding Anna (who is adorable and with never-ending energy) we took off. Only to go BACK to the Marina in actual Sorrento- where we had started- to pick up two other people. Why not just get everyone from there? We could’ve all slept an extra hour! They said we needed to pay an extra €10 of a port fee, but this could have either been built into the cost of the tour or paid to the guides at the Sorrento Marina…. No reason to get on a van, to take an elevator, to a different town just to cough up a port fee (which they insisted needed to be in cash). The morning was cool and a bit overcast so no one wanted to swim. We took a few pictures instead and went to the Ischia port. It was then that Luca and Anna said we had until 3:30. And said they would give suggestions of things to do. But their suggestion was just to walk into town to a cab stand. They were going to “negotiate” with can drivers to give us a driving tour around the island. And again, we had to pay cash. We all felt pressured to say yes. Our driver spoke minimal English and I had to play translator to the other passengers (I speak decent Italian). When we finally got dropped back at the port area where we started, it was 2:30 and we hadn’t had any lunch. We picked a cafe and had just ordered our food when Anna showed up trying to convince us to leave then. Being starved, we said no (plus it would’ve been rude to the restaurant). We then went to possibly the smallest “town” in Procida. There are several other spots where we could’ve gone- this particular spot was basically just a pier with a cafe and gelato stand. Kind of a waste since we got no sense of the island. Again, Luca and Anna were lovely and just delivering the tour as they were instructed to do… but the organizers need to get their act together! Have the tour start and end at the Sorrento Marina, include the taxi tour as part of the experience (with drivers who have stronger English) and either skip Procida or go to a better location on the island.

Operator response

Dear EmilyArizona, thanks to take time for sharing your concern. The parking Lauro is our meeting point in the centre of Sorrento, used by many agencies (true) this does not mean that it is never abandoned by our customer service, when you book the tour you receive a message from us with the exact location of the meeting point and the day before you receive a reminder with the same link as Google Maps. Our office is always ready and available to help customers in case they don't find the exact location (as was done for you). The tour does not start from the Marina di Sorrento, and those other two people you are referring to were two people who, due to very serious problems, were unable to take the bus in the morning and in order not to leave them alone and make them lose the money we thought to grant him a departure from Sorrento. Unfortunately we care a lot about customers and are empathetic towards those who have problems! As specified in the itineraries, THE LANDING FEE IS NOT INCUSE AND MUST BE PAID ON BOARD, we don't understand what you are complaining about because after all it was all your knowledge!!! As always specified, everything you do in your free time is to be paid extra and is not up to us. Skippers and assistants are not tour guides (you should know that they have an extra cost), our guys just gave you some advice. Before booking a tour it is perhaps advisable to get an idea of where you are going and what you can do in that area. As much as the timetables, having booked a group tour you must respect the timetables, those who want to be free and without timetable programs must book a private tour (and I imagine you know that this has a different price). We sincerely regret your recent not positive experience Rosa Savarese Reservations Dept & Customer Care

Nice day on the boat

This was a very nice tour. We made 2 stops to swim in the beautiful sea. On Ischia, we visited the Castle. It was a very hot day. The views were amazing. Procida was a disappointment, as there was nothing to do where we docked.

Must see Ischia & Procida

Very nice trip. An hour free to spend in Procida and four hours in Ischia. Tip; look up what you can do in Ishia in advance because there is a lot to see. The crew members were fantastic! Prosecco, cola, water, beer, mozzarella tomato sandwich, fresh fruit and cakes were provided. Also 2 swimming stops. Experienced crew members who provide atmosphere. A nice addition to our amalfireis. I would recommend it to anyone!
