Volcano and sea in a single day, on a private tour with private transfers throughout. Your adventure begins on Mount Vesuvius: from 1,000 metres the trail climbs in panoramic switchbacks to the rim of the Gran Cono at 1,175 metres, with views over the ancient Monte Somma and the Bay of Naples.

After the hike, a private transfer takes you to the marina, where you board a sailing yacht for a cruise along the crystal-clear waters of the Sorrento Coast. You see the coastline from a perspective few visitors enjoy, with swim and snorkel stops along the way.

On board, lunch features typical Campanian products, with soft drinks and fresh fruit. Between dives, sun and wind in the sails, the day closes with the sail back across the Gulf of Naples.

A complete day for active travelers who want to experience both faces of Campania: the volcano that shaped its history and the sea that defines its beauty.
