Book the ferry and lunch early
Ferries run frequently but space on the island restaurant is limited—reserve your paella when you book the tour to avoid delays.
Hydrate for exposed terrain
Carry 1–2 liters of water; the island is windy and there is little shade between La Caldera and the northern lighthouse.
Sun and wind protection
Sunscreen, sunglasses and a light windproof layer are essential—UV and gusts can be intense even when temperatures feel mild.
Sturdy footwear for mixed surfaces
Trail shoes with good traction handle loose volcanic scree and rocky shore approaches better than sandals.
Daypack (20–30L)
Carries water, layers, snacks and camera while keeping weight manageable on uneven paths.
Sturdy trail shoes
Provide traction on volcanic rock and scree and protect ankles on uneven terrain.
