Review of the $23 Pacaya Volcano trek from Antigua, with hike difficulty, lava views, horse options, transport tips, and what to bring.
“This is a fantastic day trip! We selected the 6am pick up option as we hoped we would have clear skies to see Pacaya. It hadn't yet cleared up to see the view of the 3 volcanos but by the time we got to Pacaya and down into the crater, the sky cleared and we had fantastic views and blue skies. The hike is relatively easy, there are some steep parts but the group goes slow and a guide was always with the people who climbed slower. You can rent a horse for the way up and down and they looked in good condition. We were picked up right on…”

“Excellent experience. Our tour guide Daniel was incredibly nice. He was right on time to pick us up from the hotel. The ride to the Volcano was a bit long, but our tour guide made it up with a pleasant conversation, providing detail information of the area.

Review of the Pacaya Volcano morning tour from Antigua, with hike difficulty, guides, lunch, views, transport, price, and practical tips.
“Description says easy and family friendly. Instead a really tough ascent and then descent. Luis, our guide, was excellent. Irvin from the park was also good. But at 74, I found it extremely challenging. Luis was excellent about stopping to rest and made a great lunch. The description on your site says hotel pickup and drop off. Old Town Outfitters said had to meet at their shop. Did Viator chat and agent said he confirmed with Old Town Outfitters that hotel pickup included. Stopped at storeday before and was told no hotel pickups. Deceptive description. Also says water provided. Again wrong..outfitters said bring 2 liters of water. Gorgeous scenery but…”
