Breakfast and hot drinks included.

What to expect
You'll be picked up before dawn and driven uphill in a sturdy off-road jeep, bouncing over rocky volcanic ground as daylight creeps in. The vehicle climbs to a viewpoint where you'll watch the sun break above the crater rim—dramatic but brief. After sunrise, the driver takes you through the black lava fields, stopping at vantage points while sharing local history. Breakfast (simple but filling) and hot drinks happen mid-tour. Expect a bumpy ride, dust, and cooler temperatures at altitude. The descent is gentler but takes time.
Good to know
Moderate fitness needed for jeep jolts and uneven terrain underfoot. Dress warmly for pre-dawn cold; bring sunscreen and a hat. Infants must sit on laps. Not suitable if pregnant. Pick-up and drop-off included; public transport available nearby if arranging independently.
