What an experience this hike was. We found a good guide who cost us £40 a person. If you hire a car there’s no need for a guide as the hike is impossible to lose track of the path. However, seeing the crater might need some explaining as the final tiny rock to climb is not intuitive at all. The hike is strenuous and takes 5 hours up and down. Very slippery so wear proper walking shoes, not just trainers. We got caught in a two hour rainforest downpour. You need a lot of water for the trip up. No shops nearby so bring your own water. No taxis waiting nearby so you need to arrange transport. Sight at the top is brilliant. Some clambering up rocks, so this isn’t a gentle walk but it is not technically challenging either. Legs ached for a couple of days after the hike. It’s not easy but not impossible by any means.
Booked a tour through Expedia, priced reasonable with JP Taxis & Excursions includes a guide. Leaves the main town at 9am, your back by 15:30. Bring 2 ltr of water, hiking poles advisable. Great views at the top, saw wild dogs and monkeys
Kid friendly? Yes, probably, ages 8+ and up that are athletic and listen to instruction. It's a ~1100 ft elevation over three miles on slippery terrain. A "Type 2" fun hike. We did a tour of Mariner of Seas with RC. Paul, "the mountain goat" and team led the 30 person group over 3 hours to up and 2 hours back down. We got rained on 5 times. The lower park area is dense humid. The crater base cools off as you gain elevation. It was a lovely strenuous hike, highly consider you physicality before going on this. We've done six colorado 14ers, rock climb, caving, and it had us huffing mid hike. Bring minimum 1.5L water per person. Hiking snack good idea. Have proper hiking boots that can get wet. There's no bugs or biting critters beyond occasional spider web. 95% of hike you're in shaded canopy as it relates to clothing and sunscreen concerns. Animal wise occasional anole lizard, Patridge, and otherwise sparse on animals. We saw no monkeys. There's an offshoot path at crater saddle to a higher point which is sketchy and a sketchy rope into crater that adds ~60 minutes to trip. At casual pace it took group 4.5 hour to traverse with breaks. It could be done in probably 3 at a tourist pace.
First off. Unless you have endurance, and are relatively in shape, do not try this climb. 3 people that started with us made it only 20 minutes before they gave up. It is one heck of a journey to the summit, which was totally worth it once I got up there! It's also a mountain climb, not a casual walk through the rain forest. Be responsible for your own well being. Use hiking shoes/boots...running shoes will be ruined. Bring an extra snack and some water (from the ship if you're on a cruise). The guides, who do this climb up to 4 times per week, are great people. The two that stayed with our group after the sweeper had to stay back with the 3 people that couldn't continue, were awesome. They were informative, had great senses of humour, and most importantly they were patient with the slower section of our group. I was the go between as I was with 4 others, 2 in the quick group, and 2 in the slower group. I got the nickname mountain goat LMAO because I was jogging in between the groups. You see so much flora and get to listen to the birds in the canopy. If you're lucky you might get to see a Vervet Monkey. We saw one and a few mongoose 😎 We were given a light snack and some small glasses of a frozen pineapple drink just over halfway up. Both were very tasty. Once we reached the top there was plenty of time to absorb the views and snap some videos and pictures. The climb down was a little quicker of course, but just as technical. Once we reached the bottom we had sandwiches and a drink. We had the option of a beer for $2, which I indulged in. The drive back was quick as we got stuck in some rush hour traffic, and we were literally the last people back on the ship LOL
We hiked to the top of the mountain with a guide. It definitely requires you to be in good shape. The hike is reasonably steep, and can be challenging. I think it took us about 2 hours to reach the top at a reasonably casual pace. That said, the view at the top was great. It was cloudy when we were there, but we still loved it. You can see all the way into the crater, and to the rim on the other side. I'd imagine on a more clear day the view is significantly better.
