What to expect

Your experience begins along the Amalfi Coast, where a private transfer escorts you to the helipad. Here, you are welcomed by your two professional pilots and introduced to your twin-engine Leonardo AW109S Trekker—an advanced helicopter designed for comfort, performance, and enhanced safety, operated by a two-pilot crew to ensure the highest standards throughout the flight.

Then, your journey begins.

As you lift above the coastline, the perspective changes instantly. The flight continues as Mount Vesuvius rises dramatically on the horizon—an imposing presence that dominates the landscape, best understood from above. From this vantage point, you can truly appreciate its scale and power, the volcano that once lay hidden within the mountain before violently emerging and forever changing the land around it.

Beneath you, the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum begin to appear—perfectly preserved, suspended in time since the eruption of 79 AD. From the helicopter, their full layout becomes clear in a way that is impossible to grasp from the ground, offering a rare and deeply moving perspective on one of history’s most dramatic events.

Upon landing, a private Mercedes vehicle will be waiting to transfer you directly to the Pompeii archaeological site, where your expert archaeologist guide will lead you through the ruins. As you walk through streets, homes, and public spaces, you will gain a real understanding of daily life in ancient Pompeii—its people, its culture, and the sudden moment that brought everything to an end.

After your guided visit, you will be driven back to the helipad, where your helicopter will be ready for your return flight.

Relax and enjoy the final views as you fly back along the coastline, bringing to a close a journey that is not only spectacular, but deeply meaningful—where aviation, history, and human stories come together in a truly unforgettable way.
