She wants to hike the Baru volcano, which is about 10 hours round trip, starting at midnight. As someone who doesn’t hike (I mean I’ve walked in the mountains and push my MTB around sometimes), is there any way I could prep to do this hike by then? Or would it be fairer to just have to say no.

A ten hour hike if you’re really not used to it sounds like it might ruin the rest of your vacation. I don’t know that hike in particular, but if you haven’t done much of anything for a few years, that’s going to be a painful morning after I think!
