About this tour
Walk the Sentiero degli Dei, a 7km coastal trail linking Praiano and Positano on the Amalfi Coast. Your licensed local guide leads you through Mediterranean scrub and olive groves for four and a half hours, revealing sweeping views across the turquoise sea towards Capri. A private transfer collects you from Sorrento, Naples or the Amalfi Coast and delivers you to the trailhead at Bomerano, with the option to include the return journey. Bring sturdy shoes and sun protection—this is an exposed ridge walk with minimal shelter.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your accommodation and driven to Bomerano village, where your guide meets you before the hike begins. The trail descends and contours along the southern edge of the Sorrento Peninsula, with the Mediterranean constantly in view. The path is well-defined but narrow in places, with significant exposure on the seaward side. Expect rocky footing, sparse vegetation, and unrelenting sun—there's virtually no shade. The route finishes in Positano, a steep descent into the town. Total time on foot is roughly four hours at a steady pace. Your guide will handle logistics and point out local details: farming terraces, plant life, coastal geography.
Good to know
Wear proper hiking shoes with grip; flip-flops won't work. Sunscreen and a hat are essential—the exposure is real and the Mediterranean reflects heat intensely. Carry extra water beyond what's provided. Not suitable if pregnant or with cardiovascular concerns. Moderate fitness required. Public transport exists as an alternative to paid transfer.
