Easy |
These trips are suitable for a wide variety of people. They require no special climbing or hiking skills. Active volcanoes may emit large quantities of gas making breathing difficult. People with respiratory conditions or pregnant women are not advised to travel to areas with high gas content. |
Moderate |
Moderate difficulty trips require a higher degree of fitness for the participants. Hiking experience is recommended as well as a good level of health and physical fitness. A person with a sedentary lifestyle might struggle with some of the walks. For example the climb of Merapi volcano in Indonesia takes about 10 hours in total and begins at midnight. Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano in Tanzania is a very difficult one day climb. |
Expedition |
These are expedition level trips. They require participants who are used to hiking over difficult terrain, and under less than ideal conditions. The trips may experience severe weather, such as heavy rain, strong winds, and extreme temperatures, uncomfortable living conditions or extended periods of walking. For those who are prepared to put in the effort, the rewards are great. You will have the opportunity to visit some of the world's most exciting places. |
