This half-day tour takes you from Naples to Vesuvius National Park. Travel comfortably by minibus up to the crater parking area at about 1,000 m above sea level, with your national park ticket prepared in advance so you can skip the ticket line. Spend about 2 hours walking freely around the crater at 1,200 m and take in views of the Bay of Naples stretching to Sorrento, Pompeii, Herculaneum and Capri. Pickup and drop-off in central Naples, such as hotels, the cruise port and the train station, are included.
Meet your driver at a pickup point in Naples such as a hotel, the train station or the cruise port, and board an air-conditioned minibus. Drive about 45 minutes along the highway toward Torre del Greco, then climb through Vesuvius National Park to the crater parking area at about 1,000 m.
When you arrive at the parking area, the driver hands out your national park tickets. For about 2 hours, walk the trail at your own pace up to the crater of Mount Vesuvius, the best-known active volcano on mainland Europe. Explore the area around the crater at about 1,200 m and see the volcanic landscape up close.
From the crater rim, the Bay of Naples spreads out all the way to Sorrento, Pompeii, Herculaneum and Capri. Return to the parking area at the time set by the driver, then ride the minibus about 45 minutes back to a hotel, the train station or the cruise port in Naples.
※ The tour runs in all weather, but the national park may close due to bad weather or other local conditions.
※ You walk to the crater on your own without a guide.
