A truly unforgettable experience climbing an active volcano and witnessing mother nature at at her fiery best. You’ll get to trek through a tropical rainforest, explore a vast ash plain and see inside two vast craters with steaming fumaroles. If you’re lucky, red hot lava can be seen sometimes also. 

General Overview

Time required: From one day to three days
Fitness required: A good level of fitness is required. You will be trekking up steep jungle, across ash plains and rocky cliffs.
Accommodation: Camping and basic shelter with bush toilet.

Trek Options

One day: Up and back in one day 
While all the trekking options require good physical fitness, the one-day option requires trekkers to be extremely physically fit and healthy.  There will be approximately 10-12 hours of trekking with time in the middle to eat and see the volcano. 

Two days, one night: Spending at least one night allows more time at the crater, usually 4 hours.  On day one, you will trek from the village to the campsite in the morning, and trek from the campsite to the crater and back to the campsite in the afternoon.  The next day, you will have the option to either go back to the crater and then trek home, or just trek from the campsite back to the village. 

Three days, two nights: Spend the whole second day at the craters, from different angles. If the second day is cloudy, an extra night lets you try again the 3rd day. 

Note: The weather on Ambrym can be extremely volatile and rain is very common. The more time you have, the higher chances you have of clear weather.
