About this experience
Your day begins in the charming village of Nerano, where your expert hiking guide will greet you at the FAI bookshop — your gateway to adventure.
Lace up your shoes and set off on a breathtaking 45-minute coastal hike with jaw-dropping views: the iconic Faraglioni of Capri, the shimmering Galli Islands, and Punta Campanella stretching into the sea.
Along the way, pause at the FAI farmhouse for a refreshing break with homemade lemonade and coffee — a perfect taste of local hospitality. Then continue your journey to the stunning Bay of Ieranto, a hidden gem of the Amalfi Coast.
Once there, it’s time to unwind: swim in the crystal-clear waters, bask in the beauty of the bay, or dive into adventure with optional kayaking or snorkeling through the protected marine reserve’s caves and vibrant sea life.
After your time by the water, you can return to Nerano independently, choosing your own pace and timing for the ascent, allowing for a flexible and personalized experience.
