Great to see. Wouldn’t walk to Boca Chica though.

Jason_F, Nov 2022

Great views after a steady incline walk to Sierra Negra. Totally walking was 9 miles. Didn’t really see the reward of walking to Boca Chica volcano versus the extra effort. Guides were good.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Jason! We are glad you had a good time :) we hope to see you again soon!

I had to change the time of this tour due to another tour I had with them, but it all worked out great!

I originally had this and the Tintoreras tour scheduled with this agency, but when I was going to do the Tintoreras tour, the water was too rough and they offered to switch the times of the two tours, instead so I did the Sierra Negra tour the day before I intended to. This tour was amazing! The hike towards Sierra Negra wasn't too bad but the views of the caldera and the view of the north side of the island and Fernandina was great too! The guide I had was really knowledgeable and cool to talk to.
