Naples · HIKING & TREKKING
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 8 hiking & trekking tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Take a deluxe minibus from Pompeii to Mount Vesuvius for a crater ticket and a challenging rim hike with sweeping Bay of Naples views in 3 hours.
“There is no guide walking with you, but it’s a hike. You don’t need one. It’s a strenuous hike, so make sure you have water with you. The views are amazing and it’s worth it.”
Guided Path of the Gods hike from Agerola to Nocelle with Enzo. Spectacular Amalfi views, shared group, lemon slush stop.
“A terrific walk with brilliant views but you do need to be fit! One guy in our group was blowing at the first ascent and fell way behind the rest of us - out of sight with the second guide.”
Private 3-hour hike on the Path of the Gods from Agerola to Positano, with an English guide, big sea views, and a local snack stop.
“What a fantastic experience! Our private hike with Marco was exceptional. Marco was knowledgeable about the area and gave us interesting facts regarding the history of the path and plants/ flowers along the way. The views were absolutely amazing. Parts of the hike were challenging ( for 68 year old knees), but well worth it. I would recommend this tour and Marco ( the hooligan) to everyone interested in taking part of a hike. Loved it!!!”
Half-day guided hike from Agerola to Positano with huge Amalfi coast views, expert help, lemon slush, and a choice of getting down.
“Excellent journey with an amazing guide, Enzo. Everything was appropriately timed. We had plenty of fun.”
Guided Path of the Gods hike from Agerola for $88. Epic views of Positano and Praiano, led in English or Italian.
“Obviously the views were incredible but Francisco was knowledgeable about the native plants and local history. Very informative.”
Skip-the-line Vesuvius hike from Sorrento with a vineyard lunch, a little wine tasting, and a crater-side guide for views over Naples and the sea.
“We had booked a German-speaking tour, but unfortunately this excursion was in English!”
Guided Epomeo summit hike on Ischia with a geologist. Panoramic trail, 360 views, green tuff rocks, and rock-cut lunch.
Hike Maiori’s lemon gardens to a family farm for tastings of Sfusato Amalfitano lemons, panoramic Amalfi Coast views, and guided history.
“Exceptional! The guide Alesso was very passionate about the tour & attractions in Maiori. Spectacular views all the way up! Marcelo (?) the owner of the Castle was very accommodating & proudly showed us around.”
Every kind of day out around the bay, and the best of each.
