Well worth the effort to see. - Great day out. Takes an hour to get there. You get free time in the town to explore and then go up the hill to the crater in the coach. It can be done the other way around it depends how busy things are. You get about 1 hour to explore the crater which is just about enough time. You need to be physically able with good footwear if you want to walk down to the floor of the volcano. Otherwise view it from the top.
The boats leave at 15:30 hrs and you can get refreshments on board. Well worth the effort, choose a day when is cooler as lots of walking required.

Not good if you have mobility problems - Although the trip was good, and the boat not over crowded. My husband and myself are not very mobile and not once were we told that there would be lots of walking., We booked in person so the place where we booked the trip from could see we were using walking sticks.
The volcano part of the trip was disappointing as we couldn’t get into the crater in the time given our our mobility problems. So just looked from above.
The traditional village was hilly so we didn’t bother. Then we went to the town to eat but the rep didn’t wait for us.
We would not have booked the trip if we had known about the walking
