The walk to the Patches takes about 30 minutes along a tarmac road.
A walk, with a local guide, to the summit of the 1961 volcano also takes about 30 minutes.
A climb to the Base, or to the Peak must be arranged in advance with the Visits Liaison Officer.
For their own health and safety, and for wildlife conservation reasons, visitors must be accompanied by a local guide for any trips on Tristan away from the Settlement/Patches area, or for landings on, or zodiac trips around the other Islands. Fees depend on the number in the party. These fees are doubled for a trip to the peak as it requires two guides.
