As you make your way across newly formed lava fields, your expert guide will explain how the composition of the lava shapes the rocks and landscape around you. The hike to the crater viewpoint takes about 1 to 1.5 hours each way and rewards you with breathtaking views of the vast lava fields and surrounding volcanic terrain.
