EXCELLENTBased on 4576 reviewsVerifiedMatt Sparks2024-11-12Fun 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.VerifiedYanitza R2024-11-12It 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.VerifiedOnAir158693270552024-11-11Good guide Milton was a very good guide! We enjoyed every moment.

I would most definitely do this again. I recommend this tour.VerifiedDevin F2024-11-10Great 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.VerifiedEstefania B2024-11-10Trip to Totumo Volcano The trip was really fun and Daniel was very attentive.
