Pacaya Volcano Day Trip from Guatemala City

Marvin was a very good tour guide through the volcano, and was very knowledgeable and informative. He made sure we were comfortable and allowed us plenty of rest stops while going up the volcano. The hike up is pretty hard but the hike down is easy and it is 100% worth it once you get to the top, and he even brought us marshmallows to roast in the volcano.

The guide was amazing. The horse going up was great. We roasted marshmallows in lava vents. It was a great experience. If you have any feet and ankle issues, you might want to take a horse. The views were spectacular!

Excellent tour. One of a kind experience for my family & I. Horses are available to rent which makes this trip more enjoyable. I highly recommend this trip to anyone that enjoys hiking and love nature.

Im giving this 5 stars strictly because of the driver and the wonderful couple that rode with us I didnt actually get to do the hike my lady started to feel sick and she comes first the driver understood that and we basically just ended up turning around and going home but he went out of his way to make sure WE were OK and that is what you want when you are alone in a foreign land and you dont speak the language I appreciate the compassion so much and that Is priceless I would certainly use their services again and I plan on it I still learned alot because he was educating us on everything as we traveled this country is so beautiful I plan on learning more Spanish and coming back to see more ❤️ 🇬🇹

It is not an easy hike but you can always catch a horse ride!! Beautiful scenery at the top. Also the coconut/coffee stand at exit is run by an amazing couple! Our driver and guide was amazing and knowledgeable and very patient and spoke excellent English. Melville our guide to the top of volcano was very good as was the woman who came with us!

Instead of going directly to the volcano, we made a hook via Antigua (+1 hour one way). Road to the volcano is dusty and all covered with horse kakas (take a mask to cover your nose). Whole jorney took about 8 hours from which 45 minutes is a volcano views. No lava or some wow stuff here. So spend 8 hours to get 45 minutes ok views - it's not worth it.

This was a great experience for us! Grateful for our driver/guide Davis who was friendly and knowledgeable about the lands history. This was definitely worth it and I would book again

Amazing experience. All of people visiting Guatemala should have this experience. Tour guide is very tecnical and contribute a lot

Hike is a little steep but a few great views from different spots. You go down a different and easier but longer route. You can choose to be on a horse if you’re not up for the climb. Alan our guide was good and informative.

This was a great hike with incredible views in a beautiful part of the country. The journey from Guatemala city to the volcano was smooth and comfortable. I would say the hike is accessible even for novice hikers, but still gives you a good workout if you are pushing the pace. Peter was a great guide, and very knowledgeable about the area. We got to climb over a (cooled) lava field, some parts of which ("chimneys") were still steaming - you can stick your hand in them and feel the heat and humidity from the vegetation that got trapped underneath the lava. There were wildflowers in lots of different colors, and we saw some very interesting insects and spiders, including "hummingbird moths" (large moths that look and behave like hummingbirds, hovering from flower to flower - note that the moth in the picture is a different one).
