What to expect
Expect an early start and bouncy jeep ride over volcanic rock and rough terrain. The vehicle navigates switchbacks and exposed sections—grip handholds and brace yourself. You'll arrive at a quieter viewpoint just as light breaks, revealing the crater rim and lava flow below in shades of grey and black. After photos and a breather, descend to the geothermal springs where warm mineral water pools naturally. It's genuinely hot; test depth before wading. Finish with coffee grown locally and a chance to buy small goods before heading back.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Wear sturdy shoes and layers—summit air is cool, springs are warm. Bring a towel and dry clothes. High fitness required for uneven terrain. Breakfast and hot beverages included; lunch is not.
