Full description
Hop in the saddle and get ready to experience Naples like never before: on horseback, with Vesuvius as your backdrop!
Set off with us from Somma Vesuviana for a scenic horseback ride. In about an hour and a half, you will explore the Vesuvius National Park in a new and exciting way, seeing the bustling city and the blue sea of the Bay of Naples from above.
Experience the mountains as a rider and in the company of a majestic and trustworthy animal like the horse!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the time selected at the time of booking in Somma Vesuviana (NA). After welcoming us, the equestrian guide will introduce us to the ranch and accompany us to the stable to get to know our four-legged companion.
Before climbing into the saddle, we will be explained 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 be ready to go.
We will ascend in altitude to explore the Vesuvius National Park, from which we will also be able to admire the city of Naples and the blue sea embracing the coast.
It will be an easy and very scenic walk of about 8 km, during which the guide will lead us through the woods and paths that branch off along the slopes of Vesuvius. Finally, we will return to the ranch to dismount from the horse and say goodbye to the guide who accompanied us on this one-and-a-half-hour ride.
