What to expect
You'll be picked up before dawn and driven to the trailhead with your private guide. The hike to the crater rim takes roughly two hours uphill in darkness with your torch. Once light breaks, you'll see across the island whilst eating a simple breakfast. The descent is easier on the knees and takes about ninety minutes. Afterwards, you'll head straight to the hot springs to rest sore muscles in naturally heated water. Bring a change of clothes and be ready for a fairly strenuous walk—it's manageable for most fitness levels, but the altitude and early start catch some people out.
Good to know
Not suitable if you're pregnant, have spinal issues, or poor cardiovascular fitness. Infants must sit on an adult's lap in the car. Torch and poles are supplied. Lunch isn't included, so eat beforehand or bring snacks. Tips aren't expected but optional.
