Private Mud Volcano Journey: Unforgettable Rejuvenation Dip

We had the absolute best experience with this tour! Gilberto was an amazing guide – so knowledgeable and fun, and we learned so much along the way. Everything was organized perfectly, from pickup to timing, and all the little details were thought out. The highlight was going early in the morning and having the mud volcano completely to ourselves — floating in the mud with no crowd around was surreal. We also loved the option for the massages, such a fun and memorable part of the experience! Truly unforgettable and one of the highlights of our trip to Cartagena. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience! So much better than going with other strangers and waiting in long lines. It was only my husband and I when we got there. Gilberto was our guide and handled everything for us. Told us what was going to happen and how much money to bring ahead of time for tips and he made everything so easy. HIGHLY recommend

This was a great and unique excursion. Something we had ever experienced. It is challenging physically to climb the steps and descend/climb out of the mud. So you need to be aware of that short, steep climb. The attendants take great care to assist. But once in the mud it was fun. The was massages were pleasant and hard to decline. The arapa snack afterwards were delicious. Our guide Anna Lucia was excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable. Again, a great tour.

I think the best way to go for this tour is the private tour option and first thing in the morning! We were the first ones in the mud and enjoyed every minute of it. I appreciated the wash off in the lagoon followed by a yummy snack. Our guide Gilberto was great!

Excellent!! One of the best things I have ever done. Highly recommend Gilberto and this experience! You get a private experience in the mud volcano with a 25 minute massage. No other tourists. The locals that run this love this company because it respects what the locals are trying to achieve. We didn't have to tip much to get an amazing experience. Gilberto handled all the fees/tips which was nice. Excellent massage with Enrico under the beautiful sky. The mud was cool and smooth. When we got washed up in the lake we then ate delicious arepas and empanadas. As we did the tour busses showed up and you could see it wouldn't be the same experience. Gilberto is doing tourism the right way with his company. When we come back we will book everything through him. Excellent English and history. 10/10

I had an amazing time. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to try this tour. I would definitely try it again.

My experience was great! We had a private driver that came and picked up us. The morning of they reached out and picked us on time. Our driver was very informative, we drove about 45mins to a hr and we had great conversations. He told us about the history of mud volcano and how everything will go when we arrive. Once we arrive we received vip service ! They held our bags, took pictures and we asked for a lot of pictures. We received massages which was optional and then we got in a bath in a warm water lagoon. We received a lil snack and then headed back out before the rain. Doing the private tour was very much worth it, we had our own privacy and didn’t have to want on anyone. But this overall experience was amazing and I would recommend.

Great tour guide was able to answer all of our questions and then some about Cartagena and Colombia. His English was fantastic and he was very helpful at the volcano. Pink sea isn’t operating this year due to rain so the entire tour was like 3.5 hours; no refund was offered for a portion, but I don’t view that as the tour guide’s fault. Just a word to those who might be booking.

We both liked the volcano mud bath. Getting cleaned up in the lake w woman pouring water on me was a new experience. I rated this low cause it was a private tour. We both felt our guide should have had more interaction w us and not the driver. I thought car smelled like an ashtray but it was comfy.

Jocelyn and Daniela were amazing. They set up the entire area on the beach and made sure the experience was perfect. The massages were great. The affirmations and little ceremony beforehand were extremely appreciated.
