About this activity

Leave Sorrento and travel to reach the small village of Bomerano, not far from Positano, from where your 3.5 hours (approx) hike takes place. In Bomerano you will meet the guide that will introduce you to security and safety rules before you start the tour.

With your guide, you’ll then set off to explore the Path of the Gods, a stunning trail named after the Roman temples that once lined the route.

The trail hugs the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, setting you up for impressive panoramas that stretch over craggy gorges and sleepy hamlets down to the sea. Have your camera handy for photos as you walk along the trail starting from Bomerano and then ending in Nocelle, a little place just above Positano.

TOUR ITINERARIES:

Start from Bomerano, walk along the path and end in Nocelle.

At the end of the tour return to Sorrento, either with public transport or with our private driver that will wait for you at the meeting point (the private transfer service is on request and must be booked online at least 48h before the date of the excursion).

Some suggestions:

If you decide to reach Bomerano by yourself, bus or taxi, or even with our One Way Shared Transfer, get the chance to have lunch in Positano, a really unique place...

MORE INFORMATIONS:

The Path of the Gods is now fully open again, it was temporarily and partially closed by local authority, near by Nocelle area, due to a landslide.

The normal track will be lead by the guide: Bomerano to Nocelle.

Antonio was a first rate. Excellent knowledge of the path, the plants in the area, and always concerned for our safety. The hike was wonderful. I'm in OK shape for late 50's and it was not a problem. Other people on the trail struggled a bit and had to go slowly, but they made it through OK. Going down the stairs from Nocelle to Positano at the end left my thighs sore the next dayb but otherwise I did not find it too strenuous. I've hiked in a few locations in the western US, and this would be classified as a moderately difficult hike on the easy/moderate/challenging scale. Highly recommended!

Firstly a word about the guide. Neno was an excellent guide who was passionate about what he did. Bearing in mind he does this day after day, we found him very knowledgable and enthusiastic. As for the walk we agree with other reviews, it is not for the faint hearted. I am in my late 60s but walk regularly in the UK and consider myself to be at least of average fitness yet I found this walk quite exhausting. The excursion starts from Nocella and that makes the path considerably harder than starting from Bomerano. Most self guided walkers walk in the other direction from Bomerano but it is either very expensive or very difficult to get to Bomerano so we opted for this excursion. On our walk in early Sept it was 26 deg and full sun with a lot of humidity officially felt like 32 deg and I found that coping with the heat was the biggest problem. After two of the group of eight dropped out I became the slowest because of the heat. Neno regularly stopped so that I could catch up but once I caught up the group was off again meaning that I did not get any chance to rest. So my advice is that this excursion is fine providing the you have a good level of fitness and are comfortable in the heat. Do lots of research if you are thinking of undertaking this walk in either high or early shoulder season. That said, I am really glad I undertook the walk, it is special and the views are spectacular.

Wonderful hike with amazing views. Expert, informative guide who set the pace to accommodate everyone. The hike is pretty strenuous - especially in hot weather. Wear appropriate footwear and have fun!

This hike was stunning! It was about 4 miles and on the challenging side, but well worth the views!

We have been on many tours in Rome and Sorrento but this one is one of our all time favorites. Our guide, Wolfgang, was very knowledgeable on everything around the hike. The Walk of the Gods hiking trail is truly fit for the Gods. The views are breath taking because the trail is high above the Amalfi coast the entire hike. And Wolfgang made the hike even more exciting with his knowledge of all the native and wild growing plants and herbs, which he took the time to explain them all to us. The trail also takes you through a very quaint small village where we were able to get food for lunch...which we found later that we did not need because Wolfgang surprised us with a great snack of home made cheese stuffed with ham and olives and the best Italian bread I have ever tasted. Coming back to the village after the hike there is another small place where you can get some fresh squeezed orange juice, lemonade or even a beer. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience a hike that they will remember for a life time! Ask for Wolfgang, he is a wonderful guide who speaks perfect English!
