Hooiberg

Stairs, stairs, stairs,...and more stairs. The total of 589 concrete steps. No special shoes needed, you will be on concrete all the way to the top. Nice views from the top, a couple of goats and lizards, but one star down for trash being everywhere. Undeveloped parking available at the trailhead.

A workout in a burst of 16-20 min. Definitely gets you sweaty doing it in late morning, but the panoramic views from the top is well worth it. There are chalk marks every 25+ steps, not sure if accurate as it says 600 near the finish.

Awesome volcanic hike, but was a bit of a challenge. Steep steps and half the steps didn’t have a railing. Take care going up and down, especially if it’s raining/rained or if the steps have sand/dirt. The view is worth it though!!!!!

587 step climb to the top! It was a nice change of scenery (pun intended) from the beach. Bring water- as it seems fairly simple but those steps are STEEP. Plenty of places for a rest on the way up and beautiful few. Apparently on a clear day you can see all the way to Venezuela - but we weren’t able to.

Second half of the climb was a little rough on these old legs but we made it to the top! Concrete stairs have recently been redone and are very sturdy. Views from the top are great!

It is hard! Doesn’t take long to getup but it is steep, legs were shaking on the way down 😅😂 I would say if you struggle with balance, there aren’t really any railings on the way up, just a stair case. Beautiful views from the top and if you are able it’s a must do.

Short but steep hike on stairs to the top of hooiberg. View is nice on top, but no so special. Nice activity if you are tired of lying on the beach all day..

An awesome place to "hike" to have great views of the island. The almost 600 concrete steps are well maintained and easy to climb up and go down on, even on a hot day. I would pick a clear day for best viewing. And, if you have kids in your party, you may want to plan a visit to the water park that is right next to the hill. They have some fun water slides and it is a great way to cool down after the climb. (Water park opens at 10 and costs $18 USD as of July 2023.)
