Family Italy Amalfi Coast Adventure

The authentic village of Bomerano will be our home for the duration of our tour. Sitting at 650 metres above sea level, you can get a feeling for slow-paced village life at one of the handful of local bars and restaurants. Today is about getting our bearings, so feel free to get to know the village or wander further, before joining this evening's welcome supper. We'll get our first taste of the South with a homecooked dinner, produced right here at our hotel. Naples International Airport (NAP) is our closest airport. We offer two complimentary transfers from the airport to our hotel in Bomerano. The first will be at 1 pm (to join this one, your flight should arrive no later than 12.30 pm), and the second is at 7 pm (to join this one, your flight should arrive no later than 6.30 pm). Most of our clients arrive in time for the first transfer, so the later one at 7 pm doesn't always run. If you know you'll be arriving later and would like to use that transfer, let us know in advance so we can make sure a vehicle is arranged for you. After clearing immigration and collecting your baggage from the baggage hall, head to the 'Welcome Area' kiosk in the arrivals hall where your driver will meet you holding an Explore signboard. As we need to arrange the transfer vehicles some time in advance and to help us monitor flight arrivals, if you have not booked your flights through Explore you must let us know your flight details and which transfer you would like to join at least 14 days before the start of your trip. If you do not tell us these details, we'll assume that you're travelling on the earlier transfer. There may not be room on the later private bus for you, in which case you'll need to take a taxi at your own expense - this costs in the region of €120 to €200 and increases as it gets later in the evening. If you plan to arrive later than the second transfer, you'll need to make your own way to the accommodation. If you don't wish to take either of the included transfers and will be making your own way to meet the group at the hotel, please tell us in advance so the tour leader does not spend time looking for you at the airport. Our base for the week is Hotel Rabbit, a small family-run hotel set on a plateau above the Amalfi coast. The property is small and intimate with just 10 rooms - all with private bathrooms. The hotel has a lovely outdoor swimming pool and restaurant including pizza oven.

Today, we enjoy a fantastic mix of adventure, local flavours, and relaxation. We begin with a short bus ride to Traforo, where our walk starts. From here, we set off on a scenic trail leading us to a panoramic viewpoint offering stunning views of Mount Vesuvius. The walk covers around 6km with 300m of ascent and descent, taking approximately three hours at a relaxed pace. Along the way, we'll enjoy beautiful countryside and sweeping vistas across the Amalfi Coast. At the viewpoint, we'll stop for a delicious picnic lunch, taking time to refuel and soak up the scenery. In the afternoon, we return to our hotel for some well-earned relaxation by the pool - the perfect chance to swim, sunbathe or simply unwind. Before dinner, we gather at the hotel for a special mozzarella-making demonstration. Watch as fresh mozzarella is crafted by hand - and, of course, enjoy tasting the results!

This morning we take a bus to the colourful coastal town of Vietri sul Mare, famous for its beautiful ceramics. From here, we begin an exciting kayaking adventure along the spectacular Amalfi coastline, paddling with local kayak guides from Vietri to the charming fishing village of Cetara.

From here, we begin the scenic Walk of the Lemons from Maiori to Minori, a gentle trail featuring approximately 240 metres of ascent and descent, winding through fragrant lemon groves. Along the way, we'll enjoy a lemon tasting. On reaching Minori, there's the opportunity to visit the world-famous Pasticceria Sal De Riso, renowned for its delicious ice cream and lemon-based pastries. After free time for lunch in Minori, we take the ferry back to Amalfi where we'll have time to relax on the beach, visit the stunning Cathedral or explore the Paper Museum. We regroup later in the afternoon and take the bus back to Agerola.

We have an early start this morning to get to the archaeological site of Pompeii for opening time. A guided walking tour takes us around this fascinating and remarkably well-preserved example of a provincial Roman city. The town once housed 15,000 people and was an important commercial centre, as well as a favourite residence of wealthy Roman patricians. Of course, on one fateful day some 2,000 years ago, this all changed when the powerful eruption of nearby Mount Vesuvius buried the city, preserving the city and its citizens in layers of ash and pumice. On our tour, we will see the extensive colonnaded forum with its Temple of Jupiter and the magnificently decorated villas, such as that of the Vetii. Human casts of some of the victims trapped by the eruption give an emotive snapshot of this catastrophic event. This evening, we have a special treat - a traditional Neapolitan Music Dinner, accompanied by live musicians for an authentic and lively Italian experience.

This morning we set off from our hotel to explore part of the famous Walk of the Gods, following a scenic route to a traditional shepherd's hut. Along the way, we'll enjoy breath-taking views of the Amalfi Coast and the sparkling blue sea far below. We'll stop for a relaxed picnic lunch before retracing our steps back to Agerola. The walk is approximately 6 kilometres and will take around 2.5 hours, with a gentle ascent and descent of 200 metres each way. After the walk, the afternoon is free for you to relax - a perfect opportunity to unwind by the pool and soak up the Italian sunshine. This evening, the fun continues as we try our hand at a pizza-making class. Under the guidance of our host, a local expert, you'll learn the secrets behind perfect pizza dough before creating your own masterpiece. We'll round off the day and our holiday by tucking into our freshly made pizzas for dinner - a true taste of Italy!
