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.

Half Day Tour Tutuomo
This was a good experience! Be prepared for the mud, carry your own towel and take proper sandals (crocs or rubber soles)
Our guide Franklin was so courteous and provided us with great information on the area, and the benefits of the volcanic mud.
Would definitely recommend 10/10
Be prepared to tip!

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

Nice little tour
Relaxing and comfortable and the museum is cool too. The mud is thick so you don’t need to learn how to swim and they will help you clean off. Please be sure to tip!

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..

Unique experience
It was a very unique experience! The thick mud that you float in. And the feeling of being suspended was amazing.
The locals were aggressive when asking for tips. Carry cash or be firm.

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.

Slippery when muddy!
Nice excursion. Driver and tour guide were friendly. The mud bathing portion was different to say the least. The masseuse did a good job. The ladies that washed you in the end were thorough in cleaning you. No complaints. You’ll like it experience.
