Step by Step

Experience the power and beauty of Mount Vesuvius from a different perspective with this horseback ride through its national park. Perfect for nature lovers and those looking for a quiet but exciting activity, this tour offers you an authentic experience in direct contact with the volcanic environment.

Your adventure begins with a transfer from Pompeya to the ranch, where you will be met by the local team. There you will have a short tour of the facilities before an introductory riding session, perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike. The groups are small, allowing for a personalised approach from the guide.

Once you're ready, you'll begin a ride of about an hour along the trails of the Vesuvius National Park. Along the way, you will enjoy incredible panoramic views of the volcano and the surrounding landscape, while your guide shares interesting facts about the flora, fauna and geological history of Vesuvius.

It is worth noting that, due to local regulations, horses are not allowed to reach the crater, so the tour is kept at a safe altitude of 500 metres above sea level. Even so, the views and the natural surroundings make for an unforgettable experience.

    The whole way I was afraid that the horse would decide it was time to run and take me with him.

    The guide was the best, he helped me a lot because I had no idea how to ride a horse.
