5.00The walk up the volcano was well worth the effort, and the views of erupting lava were magnificent. We were looked after well and guided up the volcano to a great place to view the lava bomb eruptions. And we’re. brought down safely in the dark.
Great

5.00An unforgettable experience, very well organized even considering the high influx of groups; we never overlapped. The only thing is, one would never want to leave, so perhaps that extra quarter of an hour would be greatly appreciated (like leaving at 9:30 PM). Thanks also to Rolando, who expertly accompanied us.
Splendid
