Are,tour guide Cesar was very helpful
They need to know that they have to climb up high stairs, and when coming down be very careful, you will be with mud all over and the stairs will be slippery

Once in a lifetime experience. Mud bath in a volcano..!!
The tour was nice, the mud bath amazing, the cleaning ladies at the river to wash off the mud were funny although a bit aggressive with some folks for a tip... But they did such a good job washing us off and making us laugh, I had no problem tipping..

Fun experience!
The mud volcano was such a fun experience!! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a new experience. I would also suggest bringing extra cash to pay people individually for massage, pictures, and cleaning at the end. Also this tour does NOT include the pink sea tour. They take you to another beach so take note. I told the tour guide they need to update the description to this activity online.

One in a lifetime.
One in a life time experience. This was one of my favorite activities. Our guide spoke perfect English and was very friendly. He explained everything, step by step on what we should expect. I really enjoyed it, it’s a very primitive experience and feels authentic.

Guide Roberto was...
Guide Roberto was excellent. Lunch was good. Only issue was that 5 hour tour ended up to 7 hour tour .

Its okay
The experience wasn't as relaxing as i thought. It felt very commercial if that makes sense. The mud bath was nice but they charge like 20 mil pesos for the extra services like "massage" " watching our sandals" etc and it really wasnt "optional" as they claim it to be. The tour guide was nice, driver drove well. However, he lacked on interacting with us and gave little to no information on the history of the volcano. He only gave us some info because we asked him about it. Overall, it was okay.

Volcano Bath & Pool Lounge
David and Cesar were nice. Spoke great English. We had a great time at the volcano then at Coco Beach. Relaxing with a satisfying lunch and an afternoon in the hotel pool. A great way to spend the day

Volcán Totoumo
This was a once in a lifetime experience for sure. The rain fall made it difficult to climb and bystanders were slipping and falling. But it was a unique experience. Our guide explained very thoroughly how the tipping works and how the native people live off this. They ask for tip for everything it’s a overwhelming but understandable. Just be ready with cash.
