Hiking
When the hot lava hit the sea, the lava cooled down explosively - similar to the way glass was produced - with the smallest fragments of olivine and basalt. When the sun is shining, you can see a great play of colors: white foam crowns against the black cliffs and the shimmering green beach. The waterfall is also unique because it falls directly into the sea.
