Q:

Depends on walking speed. It took me 3 hours. Another group that started when mine did were just going to the caves when we left. Be aware both the route to the volcano and stairs to ice caves are quite steep, so give yourself at least 1 hour more than you think it'll take so you can rest frequently. I would recommend volcano first, then lunch (they have a picnic area if you bring your lunch), then caves.
Q:
Are the caves open in April?
A:
Yes, they are open March through October. Enjoy!
