What to expect
You'll be collected early from your accommodation and driven uphill through winding volcanic roads in a sturdy Jeep. The vehicle does the climbing so you can rest and soak in the landscape. Once at the top, you'll have time to watch the sun rise over the crater rim with a hot breakfast to warm you up. The descent is equally scenic. The whole experience takes a full morning and early afternoon, leaving your afternoon free.
Good to know
Bring layers—it's cool at the summit before dawn. The Jeep handles steep, rough tracks, but it's not a gentle ride. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have heart concerns. All fitness levels can manage this since you're mostly sitting.
