Itinerary:
The drive to the location is an adventure in itself!
On arrival you will find jagged, uneven volcanic rock below your feet; it’s like you have landed on another planet. Walk carefully, as all the ground-cover plants are thorny! Listen out for the sound of waves crashing into the caves in the ground under your feet; they say that is the sound of the island breathing.
The hole in the ground into the sea is breathtaking. In places where the seawater has evaporated, you can see pink salt deposits. Is this because of iron in the water? Also, look out for the sea bashing the cliff faces and springing meters into the air.
