    The road to the track gets rough toward the end and we'll get as close as we can before venturing out on foot. After arriving at the end of the 4wd track we start to ascend the crater - a steep hike, sometimes wet and slippery but well worth the effort. Swimming and snacks at the lake before returning on the trail and back to the car for lunch before returning to Apia.
