Real experiences from real travelers
This was the highlight of our Sorrento trip! The transfer from our hotel was perfectly timed. Our guide, Antonio, told us so much about the local plants and history. The views are even better than the photos.
Excellent tour. Starting from Sorrento made it so easy compared to trying to take the SITA buses. The hike is moderate but the rocky path requires good shoes. Highly recommend the small group option.
The path is spectacular. The only reason for 4 stars is that it was quite crowded at the start, but our guide managed to find us some quiet spots for photos. The transfer back from Positano was very comfortable.
I was worried about the height but our guide made me feel very safe. We even met a local shepherd and tasted some fresh cheese. Booking through this platform was seamless and the Viator confirmation came through instantly.
The views of Capri from the trail are insane. The hike took about 3.5 hours and we had plenty of time for breaks. Wear sunscreen! There is very little shade on the path.
The private tour was worth the extra cost. We could go at our own pace and our guide was a naturalist who knew everything about the local birds. Truly a world-class hike.
The hike is beautiful but very exposed. Bring more water than you think you need! The organization by the tour company was top-notch.
A wonderful way to see the coast from above. The transfer from Sorrento was very convenient. The guide spoke excellent English and was very helpful with photography.
Everything you need to know for your journey
The hike is considered moderate. It is roughly 7km long and mostly downhill or flat if starting from Bomerano. However, the terrain is rocky and uneven, requiring a basic level of fitness and balance.
Yes, most tours booked through our platform include round-trip transfers from Sorrento to the trailhead in Bomerano and back from the finish point in Nocelle or Positano.
The best times are spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) when temperatures are mild and wild flowers are in bloom. Summer can be very hot with temperatures exceeding 30°C.
While not strictly necessary for experienced hikers, trekking poles are highly recommended to help with stability on the rocky sections and to reduce knee strain during the descent. Some tours provide them for free.
The trail is wide in most places, but there are sections with steep drop-offs on one side. If you have severe vertigo, you may find some parts challenging. However, most people with a mild fear of heights manage well with a guide.
Wear sturdy hiking boots or trail runners with good grip. Dress in moisture-wicking layers, wear a wide-brimmed hat, and bring high-SPF sunscreen. Avoid flip-flops or smooth-soled sneakers.
Most tours include a small snack or a tasting of local products, but you should bring at least 1.5 to 2 liters of water and your own lunch or energy bars.
The actual hiking time is typically between 3 and 4 hours, depending on the group's pace and the number of photo stops.
Most tours end in the village of Nocelle. From there, you either walk down 1,700 steps to Positano or take a local shuttle. Your Sorrento transfer will then pick you up at a designated meeting point.
