      It's a difficult hike but worth every step up. The guide was great and motivated me for sure. It was a little intimidating but he made me and my daughter feel safe

      Awesome trip. Our tour guide Russell was very good and informative. The hike up was not too hard, its was hot and sunny but windy. Would definitely recommend to anyone

      Russell was an amazing guide! He was so knowledgeable, kind, and funny! He was very patient with us as we made our way up volcano. The volcano boarding was such an exciting experience! Book this one!

      The guide made the trip.

      I don't leave reviews (aside from this, i suppose) bc I believe we live in an increasingly superficial world where ppl want assurances before they chose to live. They don't want to just experience something. Anyway. This guide was kind. My 12 yo son didn't want to sled down. I had to hold him as he cried. This is hard for a father. Howwvwr, my son listened to the encouragement of the guide...to be courageous and strong, but that it was OK to not do it. In essence, he was human. He acted like a parent (which he is). I'm writing a review because of this....the guide. The tour was good, too.

      Fantastic!!! So much fun,...

      Russell was the best tour guide ever. He was very attentive to us because I had knee surgery 8 months prior so I was going much slower than I anticipated and my fiancés anxiety kicked in after looking down and he consoled her and encouraged her that she would be able to continue and she did. I would recommend him 100 times if I could. The way he assisted us both throughout the hike up the volcano was amazing, he went above and beyond. He gave clear and concise directions on what needed to be done in order to slide down safely and we had the best time ever. Russell we just want to publicly thank you again.

      This activity was great....

      This activity was great. The guide was informative. We knew we would have to carry our own gear up the volcano, but you were able to pay a local $5 at the start if you wanted.

      Great Tour thanks to Russel

      Our tour guide Russel was super funny and cool. He made us feel super comfortable and motivated us to finish. It’s definitely a difficult hike for beginners but it went by smoothly as Russel made sure we were okay he would check on our breathing and how we felt. Would recommend! 10/10 experience

      So much fun

      Great guide and so much fun! The view was incredible and the guide had a great energy and was supportive

      A million stars!

      Russell was the most exceptional guide!!!! Hr was funny and a comedian that made me laugh. He is very knowledgeable about Nicaragua and the volcano and taught me things I didn't know. He is super kind and very attentive to the details. I was picked up on time with no problems . He gives you a backpack with the equipment and your board and you climb up NOTE: Not an hike. This is rock Scrambling. Wear appropriate clothes. Sliding down was so fun!

      A must do experience
