Start early and sleep well
You’ll depart around 03:30 — get rest the night before and carry a compact headlamp for the ascent.
Wear grippy shoes
Trails include loose volcanic scree and short steep sections — sturdy boots with traction reduce slipping risk.
Carry a small daypack
Bring water, a light layer, and a camera; guides provide breakfast and walking sticks but space is limited.
Protect electronics in steam
Hot springs release mineral-rich steam; keep phones and cameras in dry bags while soaking.
Headlamp or flashlight
Critical for pre-dawn navigation on the ascent and descent.
Hiking shoes with good traction
Stable footing on loose scree and rocky steps makes the climb safer and more comfortable.
Light insulating layer
Temperatures at the summit can be cool before sunrise; layers warm quickly as the sun rises.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
Useful for relaxing in the natural hot springs after the hike.
