About this experience

Horseback Riding in Vivara is a guided equestrian tour along the trails of Vivara, a small island nature reserve connected to Procida by a bridge. Riders traverse Mediterranean scrubland and cliff-edge paths with views across the Tyrrhenian Sea. The activity operates with small groups and is led by local instructors familiar with the terrain.

What to expect

Ride lasts approximately 90 minutes, including a 15-minute safety briefing and helmet fitting before mounting.
The route covers 6 kilometres of dirt tracks and coastal paths, passing the ruins of a 16th-century watchtower.
Suitable for riders with prior basic experience; beginners are paired with calm, well-trained horses and given one-on-one assistance.
Each booking includes a horse, tack, helmet, and a guide who carries water and a first-aid kit.
The tour departs from the stables at Marina di Corricella, with a 10-minute walk to the Vivara causeway.
Riders stop at two viewpoints: one overlooking the Bay of Chiaiolella and another facing the island of Ischia.
