Fun
Milton and Brian were fantastic. The friendliest hosts you could have. You couldn’t have better guides.The wait beforehand was 2 hours and they only tell you about taxes and ‘optional payments’ once you have booked though.

It was okay
Had a lot of fun. Definitely not a peaceful environment but went with the flow. The guides were cool and really wanted everyone to have a good time. All the resorts were nice although very rustic. The snorkeling was nice but you must be a good swimmer because you only get a snorkel and a mask. Can’t get away from the harassment, overall it wasn’t too bad. Lunch was great. We paid extra to get a fried fish which was very good and the coconut rice was delicious.We picked a tour that excluded Cholon but they oversold the tour and put us with the tour that included it, luckily we only spent 20 min there. I didn’t get in the water, we waited by the drop off until we left. Too many people cramped in a very small area, who knows what is in the water. I saw two women walking out of the water bleeding. The island was dirty with trash everywhere (which is what I read on other reviews). Makes me sad to see how they are destroying the mangroves. The next day we spoke with a local who said 4 people have died there this year after getting hit by the motors of another boat. Not a safe place but we just waited it out and carried on with the tour.

Good experience
We enjoyed the experience visiting the Rosario Islands. The boats are fully equipped, and the tour guide, Daniel, was really funny and attentive.The best part was the snorkeling time. Backpakers provided the face mask for the activity.

Best Volcano Mud Tour
This was a great experience. We had a great guide DANIEL! He was very informative and knowledgeable. He explained theEntire excursion. The mud bath was soooo soft and felt good. I enjoyed the massages as well. Highly recommend this excursion and recommend going in the afternoon. It wasn't too crowded.

Great experience!
Our tour guide, Daniel was awesome! I got a massage in the mud. Totally recommended! We did the half day tour and received 1 empanada (chicken, beef or cheese) and 1 drink (coke or water). Use the restroom before the experience. There is a restroom but no running water.

Trip to Totumo Volcano
The trip was really fun and Daniel was very attentive. The price was fair and we had transportation included. This trip is a must.

Wading in the mud.
Great time at the Volcano. Met some good people while in the mud. Tour guide Caesar was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable and manage the crowd of people working at the Volcano.
