Here, anyone can not only communicate with the neighbors, with whom we share the planet but also learn how to sit properly in the saddle and manage the horse. There are also classes for adults, so you won’t have to sit aside, waiting while your child is riding a horse. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

In Ischia, there is an opportunity to teach your child snorkeling, which is somewhat a simpler and more popular alternative to diving.

Both adults and children are taught snorkeling at the Associazione Nemo in a play form, allowing the kids to plunge into the admiration of the beauties of the natural world. If your child is old enough and he wants to try himself as a diver, then you can get training and a license and dive on the island.
