How difficult is the hike, really?

We believe in being honest: it is a challenging hike. The path is steep and uneven in the dark. However, thousands of people with a good base level of fitness complete it every year. Our guides are experts at setting a manageable pace and providing motivation. The feeling of accomplishment is worth every step!

Do I need special hiking boots?

While professional hiking boots are great, sturdy closed-toe trainers or sport shoes with good grip are sufficient for most people. We do not recommend wearing casual shoes.

What happens if the weather is bad or cloudy?

The tour generally proceeds rain or shine. The experience of climbing the volcano is an adventure in itself. However, clear sunrise views cannot be guaranteed. In the rare case of severe weather that makes the trek unsafe, we will contact you to reschedule or discuss other options.

Is there an age limit for this trek?

We don't have a strict age limit, but we recommend this trek for fit individuals and older children (e.g., 12+) who have some hiking experience and are prepared for a physical challenge. Please consult with us if you have concerns about suitability.

What is the breakfast at the summit like?

It's a simple, unique, and memorable experience! Your guide will use the natural heat from volcanic steam vents to cook eggs. This is typically served with bread, bananas, and a hot drink like coffee or tea.
