Two islands in one day means catching ferries at dawn and dusk, with the guide steering you past what the cruise ships miss.

A full-day private tour from Naples that starts with a hydrofoil to Procida, includes a guided walk through Terra Murata and the 17th-century port La Corricella, then ferries you to Ischia for a car tour of the island's thermal towns, the Aragonese Castle and the main shopping street. Your guide speaks English, and all transport — hydrofoil, ferry, private car and microtaxi — is included; the day runs eight hours.

The Experience

You meet the guide at Naples port in the early morning and board the hydrofoil to Procida. The crossing takes you to the least touristy of the Bay of Naples islands, where the guide walks you up the shaggy hill to Terra Murata, the fortified center built on the island's highest point. From there you overlook the Gulf of Naples. The Abbey of San Michele, rebuilt between the 17th and 19th centuries, holds a small museum with paintings left by shipwrecked sailors and a church with a coffered ceiling. Then you descend to La Corricella, the 17th-century port famous for its tangle of arches, domes, colored facades and staircases stacked into the hillside — the kind of architecture you photograph without planning to.

Late morning you catch the ferry to Ischia and transfer to a private car for the island loop. The guide takes you through Lacco Ameno, Casamicciola Terme and Serrara Fontana — the thermal towns where hot springs feed into the sea — then to Forio on the western coast and Ischia Ponte on the eastern side. There you see the Aragonese Castle, built on a rocky islet connected to the island by a 220-meter stone bridge. The castle sits in a natural basin formed by an ancient volcanic crater. Before the ferry back to Naples, you walk Via Roma, the main shopping street, with time to move at your own pace.

The day hinges on ferry and hydrofoil schedules, which is what packs two islands and four towns into eight hours without feeling rushed. Your guide handles the timing and the route; you move between islands and sites as part of the plan, not as something you have to coordinate. Infants can travel in a stroller, and the tour suits all fitness levels, though the walk up to Terra Murata is steep.
