  • Wear sturdy hiking shoes with good grip for uneven crater terrain and sulfur-covered surfaces
  • Bring sunscreen, hats, and water – the crater offers limited shade
  • Drive carefully on mountain roads; hire drivers familiar with winding routes
  • Strawberry farms typically charge per kilogram of picked berries; plan budget accordingly
