Review for: Join-in tour with self drive

I knew beforehand that it would be a 45-minute walk, and during the walk, I deeply felt the disadvantage of having short legs🤣. I really walked slower, and the guide at the back walked at a leisurely pace. We were clearly taking big steps🤣. The 45-minute walk is quite long, with two rest stops in between. The lead guide let everyone rest and explained things along the way. The scenery during the walk was pretty much the same, so it was a good time to chat. The wind was really strong. The neck warmer given at the meeting point was a stroke of genius; wearing it made a huge difference. Luckily, the weather was good that day; I can't imagine what it would be like in the rain. On the way back, I got a headache from the wind. Even though the weather was good and the sun was strong, I still recommend wearing a beanie when it's that windy. At the mountainside base, you can leave your bags, use the restroom, and buy souvenirs. After putting on the equipment, you'll be divided into three small teams and go to the volcano summit in batches. People with a fear of heights will probably get weak knees at this point. You have to walk across a suspension bridge to the elevator. You can see straight down during this process. The elevator fits about 8-10 people, and they even divide you left and right based on weight🤣. The descent is slow and zigzag, taking about two to three minutes to reach the bottom. The bottom is very wet, and there are often water droplets falling. You have about half an hour at the bottom of the volcano. You can walk around or just stay where you are. It's really beautiful down there. The rock layers of the volcano walls are really colorful. If you walk around, you really need to keep track of time. Although the route is marked, it's really up and down, and almost all of it is a rocky path, with super big rocks, like you're trekking upstream. Also, because it's so wet, you really have to be careful of slipping. After 30 minutes, take the elevator back up to the mountainside base to drink vegetable soup or mutton soup, then you're free to leave (walk back the original 45 minutes). Overall, it's really cool. The volcano's depth is deeper than the Statue of Liberty🗽. It's said that this is the only place in the world where you can see inside a volcano? I don't know if it's true, but I think it's pretty worthwhile.

The only place in the world where you can see volcanic craters up close is here. Although the price is not cheap, it is still worth it. It takes about 40 minutes to walk to the base camp from the meeting point. The scenery along the way is very beautiful. The guide is responsible for leading the tour. The beauty is very sweet and lovely, and her attitude is very friendly. The mutton soup and vegetable soup they cook are very delicious and you can refill the bowl. We were lucky enough to see a wild white arctic fox, which was amazing. Got it!

The team is very attentive and provides free coffee, water and cocoa at the meeting point and intermediate station. The scenery is truly unique in the world and great value for money.

Great experience, but there is no shelter from the starting point to the crater, and it is very windy, so it is very cold. You need to have a windproof jacket.

Use klook to book itineraries, and you can also book overseas tours. The price is also very favorable. When you go abroad, you only need to swipe the QR code to use it. The price will also change according to the exchange difference. It is very reliable.

It's a 45-minute walk to the base camp. After gearing up, you'll descend via a lift into the volcano's depths, which are vast and spectacular. It's worth the trip.

It's quite an unique experience seeing the inside of a volcano. The hike to the base camp wasn't difficult either. However the helmet provided was so smelly it was hard to focus on enjoying the experience. Even though they provided bandana for you to wear before you put on the helmet, you get whiff of wet rag smell from the straps of the helmet every now and then. I hope the operator improves the hygiene of the safety helmet provided.

The tour guide was very kind, and it was really a special experience to go inside the volcano! It's a long distance to walk back and forth, so you need to wear comfortable walking shoes.
