Epic Pacaya Vulkaan Paardrijtocht met Pizza & Marshmallows

Amazing outing! We went as a family of four - two adults and two teens. The guides were super friendly and knowledgeable. (Guy who took care of us from timely pick up until final drop off and also Salvador and his family who guided us on the trail and cared for the horses). Our driver, Jorge, was very safe. The horses were well trained and calm enough even for young or novice riders. The top of the trail had amazing views (we could see whiffs of sulfur smoke coming out of Pacaya, out to the valley, and Volcán de Agua). We enjoyed sitting in the cooled lava fields eating volcano pizza /marshmallows. We even had a chance to scramble around the rocks while they cooked it. Very surreal. We 100% recommend this trip to others. It had everything we expected/hoped for plus nice added touches.

If you're visiting Guatemala, this experience is an absolute must! Riding horseback up Pacaya Volcano, followed by what may have been the best pizza we've ever had, was hands down our favorite adventure of the entire trip. A huge thank you to our incredible driver and coordinator, Guy, who made the day so much more than just a tour. He was hilarious, incredibly knowledgeable, and made everything feel personal and fun—even surprising us with Western wear and cowboy hats that had us laughing and taking the best photos all day long. Our horseback guides were fantastic as well. They were kind, attentive, and clearly took wonderful care of their horses. The horses were calm, well-trained, and beautifully cared for, making the ride enjoyable and comfortable all the way up the volcano. This was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. If you're looking for an adventure with amazing people, breathtaking views, and incredible food, don't miss this tour!

Ours was a private tour and was exceptional. Wear appropriate clothes and shoes. We were experienced riders but since we all had our own wangler in addition to the guide I think that no experience was necessary. We felt safe. The scenery was beautiful, the experience of having pizza at the top was fun, the driver that took us back and forth was a good driver, punctual, fun and informative, The guide that took us up the volcano made us feel very safe at all times. I recommend this excursion highly.

Very good experience, Guy is very kind and knows many interesting things about Guatemala and its history. The vehicle was also very comfortable. The ascent to the volcano was very beautiful and relaxing, especially during the stops to enjoy the views; upon reaching the summit, it feels like being on another planet, and we also had very delicious pizza there. Incredible to be able to climb an active volcano :)! 10/10

The trip was good. We went in june and it was a bit rainy but still very enjoyable. Would recomend it!

A unique and memorable adventure. The ride was comfortable, the scenery was amazing, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic tour with beautiful views along the way. The horses were calm and the guide made the experience enjoyable for everyone.

Great experience! Easy pickup by Guy- great drive to and back from meeting spot. He gave us a ton of information about local and regional experiences. Local guide and cow dogs were amazing. Pizza was delicious, volcano and whole experience was a complete win. The horses were gentle and knew what they were doing. Easy to ride and well cared for. Very happy with the whole day. Thank you!

If you’re in Antigua, this is the tour to book! My tour guide was Guy. He was very kind, he knew so much history about Guatemala that he shared, & he was just very comfortable to be around. He took me and one other solo traveler to the market in the morning a couple hours before the tour started and we got to eat a local tortilla breakfast on the street curb. The tour itself was an experience I’ll remember for a lifetime. I road a horse all the way up Pacaya volcano, saw some really cool animals on the way, and enjoyed breathtaking views of the villages below. Once we got to the top, Guy built a little tower out of volcanic rock and we had a competition to see who could throw a stone to knock it down while we waited for pizza. I highly recommend this tour. It was absolutely the highlight of my Guatemala trip!

to echo someone else, if you’re thinking about it just do it! i was thinking about it and eventually i was like why not and it was so very lovely. they picked me up from my accommodation (and then another solo traveler after) it was so simple and prompt and our tour guide was great. i felt he really added to the experience as well w his story telling and knowledge of the area. what i loved was really the essence of the experience - you’re riding horses (that they actually care about) up a volcano overlooking beautiful lush land and at times you feel like you’re in the clouds. it is magical. and our local guides who accompanied us up the volcano were also so lovely. and guys to have pizza that is cooked w lava heat by the only guy to do it truly what a freaking life experience!!!!! and then there are doggies all around and you’re eating pizza on a volcano - pizza that is cooked w lava heat (just an extra emphasis). just what a beautiful and unique experience. and when i was looking out at everything that was surrounding me, really being present i just felt this big feeling of awe. i spent 10 days in guatemala and i feel this was truly the highlight of my trip. so, i would say just do it. i feel everyone deserves this experience at least once in their life :)
