Naples day trips range widely, from archaeologist-led tours of Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius to boat cruises along the Amalfi Coast, so you should be able to find an experience that aligns with your interests and budget. Read the tour description carefully to see how involved your guide will be—maybe you’d like a detailed description of historical sites such as Herculaneum Archaeological Park, for example, or perhaps you’d prefer round-trip transportation to Capri with free time to explore on your own.

The best way to enjoy Naples day trips is to dress for the weather and activity. Wear lightweight clothing, a hat, and sunglasses to explore the hot, non-shady archaeological site in Pompeii, for example, and bring a towel and swimsuit if you plan to join a boat cruise in Capri or the Amalfi Coast. While some day trips include a meal, others don’t, so make a lunch reservation in advance or ask your guide for a recommendation.

That depends on the destination and activities. March–May is a great time for most Naples day trips, as daytime temperatures in southern Italy hover between 60°F and 80°F. Spring is ideal for exploring Pompeii and Herculaneum, where there’s little shade, while late spring and summer may be better for full-day boat tours of Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
