Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Enjoy free time in Naples to kick off your adventure and maybe descend below the city streets to discover the famous catacombs or indulge in a traditional pizza in one of the many delicious local eateries.
Discover the ancient Roman town of Pompeii, which has been frozen in time under the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Explore the vast ruins, including the House of the Faun and the Temple of Apollo, then ascend the volcano and explore hidden sulphonic vents with a specialist volcanology guide.
Hike along the Path of the Gods along the spectacular Sentiero degli Dei – one of the most scenic trails in the world – in picturesque Amalfi.
Kayak along Amalfi’s coastline, soaking in the gorgeous scenery, sparkling waters and colourful architecture from a different perspective. Stop at the small beach in Santacroce for an aperitif and then paddle back in the warm afternoon sun.
Explore the island of Capri – once a lavish retreat for Roman emperors – and see the mighty cliff faces, secluded coves, refreshing grottos and spectacular Mediterranean scenery.
By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Tuuur Foundation partner, Cooperativa Coraggio. Donations help them regenerate 22 hectares of unused public land to create local jobs and produce organic food in Italy.
Is this trip right for you?
This multi-active trip requires a good level of fitness, due to the varied terrain and potentially hot temperatures. Many of the hiking days involve steep hills and lots of steps that you'll need to be able to walk up and down. Walking times vary between three and six hours a day, but the rewards are worth every step.
Summer temperatures around the Amalfi Coast can be extreme (up to 40°C), which can be uncomfortable. It’s essential to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.
As accommodation on this trip is twin-share, single travellers will share a room with another traveller of the same sex. If you’d prefer not to share, a single-room supplement is bookable at an additional charge, subject to availability. Please ask your booking agent for more details.

Explore Italy's spectacular coastline on foot and on sea

2. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes Day 1 where you will be in twin share accomodation and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information. Please note that due to the small properties we use in Europe there is only a limited amount of single supplements available per trip departure. If you would like to book a single supplement and enquire about availability please speak to your booking agent.

This was a fantastic trip. So many memorable adventures! Hiking the Path of the Gods was my favourite activity. Our tour leader Enrico was exceptional! He made the trip with his enthusiasm and love of nature. By the end of our trip we felt like a travel family. All thanks to Enrico bringing us together for many a delicious meal and days filled with adventure.

This trip more than met my expectations. I enjoyed it thoroughly as it was so well designed, led by a genuinely enthusiastic Enrico. He cares passionately about his Italy and his Intrepid clients. Great value for your $$$ !!

We had a wonderful trip. Our leader Giovanni was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and had lots of recommendations for restaurants and places to see. We took up his suggestion of a hike on our itinerary's free day and it was one of the best days we had. The scenery of the Amalfi coast t is fabulous and hiking above it and ferry journeys along it gave us memories to last a lifetime. I guess if you come to this part of the world you have to include excursions to Vesuvius, Capri and Pompeii. Vesuvius is good for a half day. Capri is OK if you get away from the crowded centre as quick as possible. Pompeii, for me, was not as good a Herculaneum, which we had visited prior to the Intrepid trip. naples has a reputation as a scary place for tourists. We stayed 4 days in the Historic Centre and did not find scary at all, just take all usual precautions.

If you like hiking on trails you may not ever find on your own, with amazing scenery and fascinating geologic and human history, you would probably like this trip!

The guide was one of the best I’ve ever experienced - so knowledgeable, people management was excellent - instructions were clear and the group gelled brilliantly. Lovely variety of walks in stunning locations and tough enough to feel the physical benefit.
