This volcano is easily accessed from the Wodong anchorage (about a 25 minute motorbike ride each way) but you can get to it from Maumere also. It is best to get to the trailhead via motorbike rather than a car because the access road is in poor condition. Sunset Cottages and Ankermi Resort in the Wodong anchorage can help arrange a motorbike. The trailhead begins right at the roadside on the left but it isn't marked. Once on it, it is easy to follow and there are blazes & cairns to help you. There are awesome views of the island, the Wodong anchorage and the volcano itself. At the summit, there are bright yellow sulfur vents, noisy steam fumaroles and interesting volcanic scenery. It takes about 2-3 hours each way depending on hiking speed. It is best done in the morning before clouds form. Be sure to bring plenty of water. The access road that you came up to get to the trailhead is pleasant walking also and you can grab a motorbike ride back from the village that is approx 3km down hill.
