What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Amalfi Coast
- Local Living Italy—Amalfi Coast
A wonderful week. Great hikes, delicious food and a friendly group. Tour leader Giorgio was excellent.
- Amalfi Coast Walking - Hotel Risorgimento
Gaia our guide was wonderful . She was funny and very knowledgeable. I was thankful to be in a smaller group. The hotel staff were friendly and the hotel clean. I enjoyed drinks on the terrace. The hiking routes and accommodation was enjoyable. However, I couldn’t get a very clear answer from Tourradar when I enquired about the travel insurance I purchased. I tried a few times to obtain the information to give our guide and ended up spending another $180 on more insurance. Not sure I will use Tourradar again.
- Amalfi Coast: Hike & Kayak
The Amalfi Coast is filled with rich history and beautiful scenery! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by our guide Giovanni. The guide and tour was simply magnificent. In addition to the very friendly approach, good sense of humor and vast array of knowledge, Gio made himself easily available and flexible to attend our wishes. Everyday was unique and well planned. Gio portrays such a warm, energetic and highly motivated personality which added up to the experience. I truly enjoyed discovering the spectacular gem of trails Italy has to offer. The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home. All respect for Gio who does a wonderful job there. He is a true example of an excellent tour guide and for that he deserves a special thanks. Many thanks again and I truly recommend this experience to anyone who is passionate about hiking and adventure.
What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Amalfi Coast
When is the best time of year to go hiking on the Amalfi Coast?
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) provide the most pleasant conditions for hiking with moderate temperatures and fewer tourists. The summer season brings intense heat and large crowds though some tour operators run modified routes with earlier start times and beach breaks. Winter hiking remains an option but trails can become slippery and some accommodations like Hotel Due Torri in Bomerano operate with reduced services. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The walks had breathtaking views but it was challenging in the summer heat - the early morning starts helped."
What type of accommodation can I expect on Amalfi Coast hiking tours?
Accommodations range from authentic family-operated agriturismos to well-appointed 4-star hotels. The Hotel Due Torri in Bomerano stands out as a welcoming mid-sized property while Luna d'Agerola offers an intimate 11-room setting on an active farm. Guests can expect coastal views comfortable rooms and private bathrooms. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The Hotel Due Torri was excellent - the Acampora family made us feel like part of their family and the homemade meals were incredible."
What are the most scenic hiking trails on the Amalfi Coast and what difficulty levels can I expect?
The Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei) represents the region's signature trail offering moderate hiking with a 300m ascent and 400m descent across 10km. For a greater challenge the Valle delle Ferriere near Amalfi features steep rocky sections and a 1015m descent. Those seeking easier routes can take the Ravello to Amalfi path with its gentle 325m descent over 4.5km. A TourRadar traveler noted "The Path of the Gods has beautiful views along the entire route. Not as hard as I thought it was going to be."
What alternative activities are available on rest days?
Rest days open up possibilities to explore Pompeii and Herculaneum (entry around USD 35) take boat excursions to Capri (USD 44 via hydrofoil) or discover cultural sites like Ravello's Villa Rufolo gardens. Many tours include culinary experiences wine tastings and beach time. A TourRadar traveler recommended: "The optional day trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum was fascinating and a nice break from hiking. The local guides there provided incredible historical context."

Can I combine hiking with swimming and beach time on the Amalfi Coast?
The coastal setting allows for regular swimming breaks at beaches in Positano Amalfi and Marina di Praia. Properties like Hotel Risorgimento provide private beach access and tour schedules often include afternoon swim time post-hike.
