The crater was worth the hike even though it was challenging in some parts. The view at the last 2 lookout spots werr spectacular . Make sure to have comfortable clothes and shoes. If you're afraid of heights, make sure you have someone to help you get down . my son and daughter helped me . the tour guide helped me as well . My kids loved the entire experience . they can actually say they climbed a volcano which is a once in a lifetime experience :)
