Full description
If you have already enjoyed the wonders of Naples in the sunlight, now is the time to let yourself be seduced by the nuances that only a night ride can offer.
Join us for a horseback ride under the stars and discover the Vesuvius National Park. Not only will you spend an hour in the company of an extraordinary animal, but you will also be able to observe from afar the vibrant city illuminated by the evening lights.

What we will do
We will meet around 9.30 p.m. at the ranch in Somma Vesuviana (NA). We will be welcomed by the equestrian guide, who will show us the ranch and accompany us to the stable to get to know our four-legged companion.
Before riding, we will learn how to ride a horse, how to approach the animal by empathising with it, and how we should behave during the ride.
We will learn the basics of American riding and, after a few practice rides, we will go out for a walk. We will climb up to admire the Vesuvius National Park in the moonlight and, in the distance, the city of Naples with its lights illuminating the coast.
After a walk of about 5 km, which is easy and suitable for everyone, we will head back to the ranch to disembark and say goodbye to our guide. The activity lasts about an hour in total.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is aimed at everyone from 14 years of age. No horse riding experience is required.
