When is the best time to book Ischia activities?

Book ahead for summer, when boat tours and cave visits fill quickly and the most popular departures sell out days in advance.

How do I choose between Ischia experiences as a first-timer?

Decide first how much time you want on the water. A short cruise or snorkelling trip suits a packed itinerary, while a full-day boat tour with lunch gives you the widest overview of the island. If you would rather stay on land, a limoncello masterclass at a local distillery is a compact, high-rated alternative.
