Sea-based island touring
Ischia island private excursion on Gozzo Fratelli Aprea 7,5m
Best for: Travelers who want a flexible Ischia outing with a smaller boat feel and sea-focused sightseeing
This private Ischia outing is the more compact boat choice in the set, with a relaxed island circuit and a strong focus on coastal views from the water. The itinerary notes mention sea views of Sant'Angelo, the castle, the thermal waters stop, Lacco Ameno’s Fungo rock, and opportunities to swim or snorkel in clear bays. Fuel, bottled water, soda, beach towels, restroom access, and snorkelling gear are listed among the inclusions. The tour is described as customizable, so it suits travelers who want a boat-centered day that can feel personal rather than structured like a multi-town land excursion.
Ischia island private excursion on Gozzo Fratelli Aprea 7,5m
- Private boat excursion around Ischia
- Snorkelling equipment and towels included
- Pickup from the nearest private Ischia port or pier
Broader sea circuit
Private tour of the island of Ischia with Gozzo Aprea 35ft
Best for: Travelers who want a longer-feeling Ischia boat day with more route detail and private transport included
This Ischia private tour follows a broader boat-based island circuit and gives the impression of a fuller route than a simple transfer-style outing. The notes point to sea-only sights, including caves, the Fungo rock, the Aragonese Castle from the boat, Sant'Angelo, the Soccorso promontory area, Scarrupata, and warm spring waters. Compared with the other Ischia option, this one explicitly lists private transportation, along with bottled water, soda, snorkelling equipment, towels, fuel, and port or pier pickup. It fits travelers who want a private boat day with more route variety and a clear emphasis on coastal scenery, swimming, and sea access.

Three-town road itinerary
Private Tour Positano, Amalfi and Ravello by Minivan Mercedes
Best for: Travelers who prefer visiting several coastal towns in one day with a driver and planned free time
This option is the clear land-based contrast in the group, using a private minivan with an English-speaking driver instead of a boat. The confirmed inclusions show pickup and drop-off, bottled water, a preferred meeting point or pickup request option, and one-hour stops in Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. The itinerary notes focus on moving between the three towns and giving travelers time to explore each one rather than concentrating on a single route or activity. It is a practical fit for visitors who want a private day with road travel, town visits, and a more structured schedule than the Ischia boat excursions.
Private Tour Positano, Amalfi and Ravello by Minivan Mercedes
- Driver speaking English is included
- Pickup and drop-off are included
- Scheduled free time is listed for all three towns
Choosing a Campania itinerary style

The main difference is not just the destination, but whether you want a sea-focused island outing or a driver-assisted town-hopping day.

Before you book in Campania
Check the live product page before booking. Departure details, activity order, inclusions, and available options can change.
Campania booking checklist
- Check which inclusions matter most to you before booking, especially transport, pickup, and snorkelling gear.
- The two Ischia options are similar in style, so compare the route notes and transport wording rather than relying on the title alone.
- Review what is excluded, since gratuities are not included on any of the three tours and lunch is not included on the Amalfi Coast option.
