What to expect

One of the most photogenic stretches of coastline in the world is just a boat trip away from Sorrento. Set out along the craggy cliffs and secluded bays to Positano and Amalfi with plenty of stops for swimming during this full day excursion.

Our first port of call will be Amalfi, where you'll have an hour or so of free time to drink up the atmosphere and even sit with a gelato or refreshing drink at one of the pavement-side cafés lining the Piazza del Duomo.

Then, sailing past the Amalfi coastline, stopping to swim as we please, we'll make our way to Positano. Here you'll step off the boat onto dry land for some more free time to explore the candy-coloured houses tumbling down steep cliffs and crooked lanes packed with cafés and bakeries. On our way back to port, you'll be treated to a limoncello tasting on board the boat.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Roman Life Uncovered - Villas of Oplontis & Pompeii

Begin with a short drive to the foothills of Mt. Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient city preserved by volcanic eruption. Wander down cobblestone streets to the Forum, once the hub of Roman life. Follow ancient paths to impressive villas and grand spaces like the House of the Faun with its rich mosaics. Sit in the arena of the theater and study the colossal columns of the Basilica. You'll also visit areas of everyday life like the baths and taverns. You will see the exterior of the opulent Casa della Regina Carolina, one of the ancient city's largest villas located in an elite neighborhood near the Forum. Learn insights into the ongoing research started by National Geographic Explorer Caitlin Ellis Barret as you hear about the villa and the daily domestic activities of its wealthy inhabitants. After a light lunch, continue your journey to the port of Torre Annunziata, where you'll descend below street level to ancient Oplontis. As a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area and its two sprawling villas boast some of the best-preserved wall paintings of the Roman period. Your archeologist guide will offer historical, cultural and architectural context as you take in Oplontis' wonders. Once inhabited by the Roman elite, marvel at Pompeiian-style frescoes and mosaics, finished with deep azures, oranges, and sunny golds. The intricate use of colour and shading gives these paintings a three-dimensional feel, adding a lifelike quality to these ancient scenes.
