5.00The Santa Ana Volcano hike was the perfect mix of adventure and stunning views — totally worth the climb. The crater at the top is absolutely breathtaking. Ending the day at Lake Coatepeque was the cherry on top. Peaceful, beautiful, and a great way to relax after the hike. Highly recommend this day tour!

5.00The excursion was fun. Josue was our tour guide. He speak English and Spanish. He was very nice. Advise to future travelers is to train yourself in running or walking weeks or months before the excursion. The walking to the volcano will get you very tired if you are out of shape.

5.00Bring sunscreen, a hat, plenty of water, hiking shoes, dark socks because white socks will end up dark with the volcanic sand. A hiking pole would be very helpful.
Worth the Hike!

5.00This tour provided an absolutely amazing view of the Santa Ana Volcano! Our guide, Diego, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region, as well as as the plants and animals. The trip moved very smoothly as he provided detail details a day in advance so we knew what to expect. The pick up and transportation to the volcano was very easy. The hike can be challenging so definitely wear closed toed shoes. Our guide let us pick a lunch location at Lake Coatepeque which gave us the chance to see a different part of the region uneven do an optional jet ski ride! Highly recommend this company and our guide!
Great time
