Bad bad bad

This was a bad experience. The boat ride was terrible 4 to 6 foot seas. Lunch was supposed to be at 2:30. We didn’t get lunch till 4 o’clock. We ended up taking an Uber back from the last spot so we didn’t have to get pounded on the boat. Boat ride was horrible.

Good if you prepare yourself right.

We were the only 2 people speaking English and our tour guide communicated with us mostly via pre-written texts. We expected more. No water was given on the trip and no towels either. Bring with you: Water, change of cloth, lots of small bills for tips, you'll need them. My second time at the volcano, the first one was organized better. Best part - lunch on the beach. (Drinks extra) Good food and refreshing dip in the ocean afterwards!

Good but not as advertised

We didn’t go to Galerazamba as advertised, only the volcano and a resort with a beach. The volcano experience felt very good though and the guide was friendly and helpful.

Estimado, Lamentamos que no haya podido conocer Galerazamba pero hay meses específicos donde no se nos permite ingresar al Mar Rosa, atractivo que le pertenece a una empresa privada. Nos alegra que en general haya pasado una buena experiencia. Esperamos que puedan volver a la ciudad y disfrutar de los atractivos con nosotros. Recuerde cuidarse en esta emergencia, permanecer con tapabocas, alcohol y por su puesto distanciamiento.

Great mud hole

They take you to the smallest vocano I have ever seen. At the top of a rickety uneven stairway is a mud hole about 15 Sq. Ft . There was a lineup We waited 10 minutes to get in, which was O.K. because you got to see others getting all slimed up. The experience itself is worthwhile and pretty much unforgettable. You do get nickel and dimed to death with the 'massage'? And cleaning in the lake (bring about 15,000 Pesos each. My only complaint was the very long lunch (2 hours) . That stretched the tour to the 6 hours promised. Beware that there was a big descreptency in the price that most people paid. We got a very good deal Through TripAdvisor the day before. Many people paid up to double through their hotels - for the same service
