Fun trip to float in volcanic mud and even get a massage if desired. The trip is a bit far away from the city but our guide Milton made it very fun the whole time. He did a great job and is very friendly. Would recommend. Just prepare some cash to pay the locals for the small services they give you (around 20 000 pesos).

This is not a real volcano its a mud hill and you are in a very confined space with others. The worst part was the dirty water you bathed in to clean yourself that they described as a hot spring. I felt like we need booster shots after getting out if the water

Amazing experience. Our tour guide Nicher was perfect. Very informative and polite. Our handlers at the volcano. Mauricio and Adrian were just right. Very attentive before and after and taking pictures. Even the ladies cleaning you up at the lagoon. A great experience and relaxing. One of a kind. As always be careful when you want to tip. Nicher was very well organized in mentioning how to do it and when. At the end of the tour. One person will collect tip

This by far was one of the best experience my girlfriend and I had in Cartagena. Everyone that was involved in putting this tour together made sure that everything was on point from the moment we left the hotel to the moment we got on the bus and headed to the volcano. Special thanks to our amazing tour guide Milton. He told us exactly what to expect and thanks to his guidance, we had an excellent experience. Planning to book another tour with him in the coming days…

Very fun and informative for my significant other and I. Milton explained a lot about the volcano and its surrounding. He explained the process of the trip which is comforting for first timers. Jesus was a great driver. Definitely will do again
