Awesome Tour!

We had an amazing time with Kevin! He was friendly and knowledgeable which made the whole tour fun and memorable! The sweetest surprise was the birthday cake he brought for 3 celebrants 🎂🥳 It made our birthday celebration extra special. We had such a wonderful day and would definitely recommend this tour!

Vulcano tour

I'm so happy that i booked this tour, the views were amazing, we hike for about 2 hours and enjoying everything inside the rain and dry forest. Spot a few birds, it was raining on off so i suggesting to bring a rain jacket..the view from up there are spectacular about 2000 feet high. After that we went to the water fall ( but we couldn't swim because of the rain) had a delicious lunch in a local restaurant with different options of food😋 and finally relaxed at the hot springs and take a bath with the volcanic mud,the water is so hot. Our guide was prepared and explained us everything about the tour, and also our driver Frank did a good job. I high recommend it 👌

Fun and relaxing day out

It was a nice day. The volcano hike is a bit boring since you're mostly staring at fuming puddles. But it's a pleasant walk through the rainforest. The waterfall is beautiful. I wish the conditions had been better and they allowed us to swim in it. The hot springs are my favorite part, and I could easily spend a few more hours there. Thanks to Kevin and Frank for the tour. They guided us the entire way and answered all our questions. I wish the guide's English was a little better, but it was understandable. Oh, and we really enjoyed the lunch. It was a good buffet with a decent selection.
