Tips

Hiking

The path leads over lava rocks, sometimes close to the waterline. The path is marked with yellow and red signs, which are not always easy to find. We walked the path in February in rain, strong wind and heavy waves. But even in good weather, this is not a T1 path, more of a T2 or T2+. The path is not steep, but you definitely need sturdy shoes and a high level of surefootedness.

Hiking

The route is described as "easy" and suitable for all fitness levels, but unfortunately, that doesn't match our experience. A large portion of it involves walking over lava rocks; there's no real path, just red and yellow markings, and then you have to watch your way to the next marking. In some places, you're walking close to an unprotected precipice. It's constantly up and down, and you have to walk very carefully. The risk of falling or twisting an ankle is very high.
