Punta Campanella is the northernmost cape of the Amalfi Coast and also the spot with the best rock. Many climbing routes, both single-pitch and multi-pitch, start right at sea level. There, we will climb until dusk, admiring the sunset behind Capri Island.
NOTE: Multi-pitch climbing is available on privately guided tours only. Standard tours will stick to single-pitch routes.
-
We disembark in the charming village of Positano, where the spirit of la dolce vita fills the air. After a coffee break and a taste of local Amalfi Coast sweets, we’ll head up to one of the highest climbing areas on the coast, located above the village of Montepertuso. Here, we climb beneath an enormous natural arch, our first encounter with the area’s superb limestone. Afterward, we’ll enjoy a simple yet authentic meal at a taverna in the village square, savoring the view from 400 meters above our boat.
-
In the morning, we set sail for the village of Nocelle and disembark to explore the legendary Sentiero degli Dei—the “Trail of the Gods.” This stunning 7-kilometer path connects Nocelle to Agerola and offers breathtaking views along with excellent climbing spots along the way. After our climbs, we’ll continue along the trail to its end in Agerola, where our boat will be waiting for us in the evening.
-
We return to Positano to explore its renowned climbing sites, where perfect limestone walls are decorated with caves, columns, and impressive stalactites. In the afternoon, we move to the cliffs around Positano’s bay for some thrilling deep water soloing above the sea. As the sun sets, we sail toward Amalfi and moor in the harbor for the night, ending the day with a delicious seafood dinner at a local fish taverna.
-
We start our day with an approach hike from Amalfi’s harbor, stopping for breakfast at Pansa patisserie—one of Italy’s oldest and most celebrated bakeries, dating back to 1830. From there, we ascend to the Torre dello Ziro fortress, which overlooks the beautiful village of Amalfi. The climbing crag lies at the base of the fortress, surrounded by classic Mediterranean scenery and offering the unique thrill of climbing with Amalfi’s square far below. After our climb, we set sail for Capri Island, where we’ll spend the night anchored beside its iconic sea stacks.
-
We begin the day with a spectacular sunrise between Capri’s iconic sea stacks before setting off to circumnavigate the island and explore its coastal caves. Along the way, we’ll seize the chance for a few final deep water solo climbs to round out the adventure. In the afternoon, we set our course back toward the mainland, ensuring our return to Marina di Stabbia by 18:00.

Pack up, exchange contacts with your new friends, and say farewell to Amalfi! Disembark in the morning by 9 a.m.

Being in good physical shape is important, but don’t worry—no matter your climbing grade, you’ll always find a partner at your level. And if that’s not the case, your guide will be there to support you. Rock climbing is more about mastering efficient movement techniques rather than relying on brute strength to muscle your way up a cliff. Amalfi Coast features routes from 4c to 9b, making it accessible for all climbers.
To ensure you have a fun and rewarding retreat, your guide will supervise the climbing, help all participants improve their skills, and select routes that best match your ability and fitness level. No prior sailing experience is needed—the skipper will handle everything!
That said, good health and physical fitness are essential to fully participate in daily activities like hiking and rock climbing. If you plan to take on the challenge of deep water soloing during the tour, strong swimming skills are highly recommended.
Please keep in mind that there’s no multi-pitch climbing and no deep water soloing on Capri’s sea stacks.

For intermediate to advanced climbers, Amalfi Coast has loads of routes to spend the day on. Your guide will discuss your objectives and customize the day to your goals.

You will spend your week on a 45 to 55-foot Monohull or Catamaran sailing boat. This magnificent boat has 4-5 two-people cabins, a spacious living room, well-equipped kitchen, and a deck perfect for late night hang-outs. With her, you’ll sail countless coves and experience the island the way it was meant to be experienced! If this is your first time on a sailing boat and you don’t know what to expect, here is what you can expect from life on board:
-
- On board, everyone is responsible to clean up after themselves.
- Teamwork makes the dreamwork! Be ready to participate in cooking, prepping food, washing the dishes, etc. Don’t worry if you don’t know how to cook or if you hate to wash the dishes, you can always swap the job with another crew member.
- When at sea, it’s important to use water and electricity conservatively. You may be asked to use water and electricity with moderation while out at the sea.
- Don’t worry about any sailing knowledge. The skipper will be there to ensure your safety and will give you precious tips on how to live on board.
- If you wish to learn how to sail or if you are an experienced sailor and want to help your skipper, they will be glad to operate the sails with you and teach you anything you want to know!
