8–10 hours (including transfers and hot springs).
Moderate fitness; able to hike 2–3 hours over steep, uneven volcanic terrain
Pickups are typically between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. to reach the trailhead before sunrise; expect a full-day commitment including transport and hot springs.
The route is non-technical but steep and on loose volcanic rock; beginners with moderate fitness can do it with a licensed guide and steady pacing.
Hot springs admission is offered as part of the tour option—bring swimwear and confirm inclusion when booking.
Not recommended for travelers with spinal, pregnancy, or serious heart conditions; disclose health issues when booking and follow your guide's instructions.
