Amazing

Rvenkatesh, Dec 2025
Our driver Mr Grievin was very patient with our schedule there. He ensured our ride to and from there was comfy. We had a great time, the waterfalls and hot springs were amazing.

Losey tour operator - look elsewhere

Joseph_K, Feb 2024
If you want to spend four hours in a junker taxi with no suspension in rush hour traffic, just to get to the tour starting point and back take this trip. In addition there were so many people on the tour you couldn't hear the guide talking if you wanted to. The tour operator could have cared less about the circumstances.

You won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful trip to the Volcano Park!

Andrew_H, Nov 2022
The guide we had on the nature hike and waterfall was excellent. We saw mud and hot springs around the volcano and got to swim in a secluded waterfall. Water was very cold but very therapeutic. We had a lunch buffet at the restaurant in the park and then went to the hot spring pools for more therapy. Wonderful Day!

Fantastic adventure.

Laura_R, Jul 2022
Johnny was a fantastic tour guide for our hike pointing out different animals and plants. They provide a towel for swimming in the waterfall and hot springs so no need to pick your own. Waterfall water was about 68 degrees Fahrenheit so very cold but good way to cool off from the hike.

Response from Host, Jul 2022
