A nice little experience

5.00This half-day is a nice little day hike to take as a part of your experience of Antigua, Guatemala. If you've never seen a volcano before, Pacaya is a great experience to see in person.
Amazing Volcano views from the top but it is a strenuous hike. Horses are another fun option to ascend.

4.00It's a worthwhile trip to see all 4 of Antiguas volcanos and the day we went Fuego Volcano sent out several large plumes of smoke. It's a steep ascent that takes around an hour. I rode a horse up and that was fun. The views from the top are amazing and sering Pacays lava field on the descent was also very cool. Go in the morning as you have a better chance if clear skies as clouds move in in tge afternoons

5.00It’s strenuous, bring good shoes. The lava wasn’t hot enough to cool marshmallows. I regret not taking a horse

5.00I liked it, the service and the guide very attentive. The experience is strong, but there is the option to go on horseback or on foot.
Well worth the money

5.00It’s a unique experience You don’t need a horse to get you up if you’re healthy. It’s not very hard. Your shoes will get super dusty
No marshmallows were roasted 😂🥲

4.00Hike was great! A little challenging at the end but if you’re a seasoned hiker it won’t be too hard. Took off one star for the “marshmallow gimmick”. Nobody successfully roasted a marshmallow. There wasn’t enough heat to roast anything and everyone ate un-cooked marshmallows. Too many ppl in that area to even try. Think they should eliminate that part of the tour cause it was pretty pointless. View and sunset were beautiful and worth the hike.

4.00My first comment will be about paying in American USD- although you will be allowed to pay in USD for your ticket(s), they will give you 7Q per dollar in change. Example being, that I overpaid by $10 USD and received 70Q in return. Also, as for the horses/taxis- if you need a horse to take you up, remember that negotiating price is acceptable in Guatemala, but be clear on your expectations of what you’re getting for that price. My friend needed a horse because she started feeling ill during the hike up but they took it away from her after we reached the peak of our climb. The walking sticks/canes that the kids sell/loan you are not a bad thing to consider either. Just some things to consider for your pocket book! The ride to the volcano was a nice bus that sat about 25 people. It was comfortable and air conditioned! The hike was steep but definitely doable even if you are not an avid hiker/strenuous activity participant on a regular basis. Something to keep in mind is that the guides are diligent in staying on schedule and do not really afford you much time to stop and rest outside of the specific rest areas along the path. When you get to roast marshmallows, do not picture campfire s’mores- you will rest your skewer into a warm pocket in the ground and will have a soft, warm marshmallow (no burnt and crispy ones here) that is a nice treat.
Great Scenery, Poorly Managed Tour

3.00The views at the top were beautiful, but the overall experience was disappointing. The tour began with a 30‑minute stop at a coffee shop, which was not mentioned in the itinerary and felt unnecessary, cutting into the actual hiking time. The hike itself is steep, and instead of being able to pace yourself, there was constant pressure from the guide and horse providers. Every time you paused for even a few seconds to catch your breath, the guide would insist on asking if you wanted a horse, despite us repeatedly saying we would ask if needed. While the guide explained it was his job to check on everyone, the repeated questioning made the climb stressful rather than supportive. With horses surrounding you and people persistently offering rides, it felt more like a race than a hike. The wasted time at the coffee shop could have been better spent allowing hikers to enjoy the trail at a comfortable pace. Once away from the guide and horse providers, the hike became much more enjoyable. Everyone reached the top together, had time for photos, and appreciated the views. Unfortunately, the pressure throughout most of the hike overshadowed the experience. If you prefer a relaxed climb without feeling rushed or nagged, this tour may not be for you.
