Volcanoe Trekking

One can reach this islet only in 5 minutes by canoe, from Naira. The top of Banda's active volcano is appr. 600 meters above the sea level. Best for those, who like hiking. From the top, you'll have a very nice view of Naira and the surrounding islands. The last volcano eruption was on May 9, 1988. It forced the inhabitatnts of Naira and Lonthoir islands to evacuate. The ash covered the sky for about one week, and even the Ay Island was invisible.
