This is an extreme ATVing... - This is an extreme ATVing experience. Be prepared for an intense off roading ride! The guides were awesome. Leo, Pablo, and Amy were awesome and always made sure we were having fun while being safe. I was clenching my cheeks and holding my breath 90% of the ride but it was all worth it. There was a point that was very steep and rocky and I decided to be a passenger princess. Amy is so badass and it was just as much fun. The views are incredible. We saw mountain bikers riding which was crazy. I 100% recommend this tour but prepared to be sore! Also, you’re provided with a sandwich, snacks, Gatorade and approx 1/2 L of water so you really won’t need much unless you want to pack extra.

The BEST ATV tours! - A wonderful experience. It was so much fun driving the ATV around the town. It makes you soak the soul of the culture as you drive to the Volcano. The people in the towns are friendly. They wave, smile, and even the kids reach their hands to give you a high five. The Volcano drive is exciting. It is filled with adventure and awe. There are spots where it gets a little wild and can cause your ATV to flip, but the guides do an excellent job to lead and help. In fact, I almost flipped the ATV but I was able to stop it. It damaged the ATV, but the tour was very kind in not charging me the cost The views of the volcano were breathtaking. I highly recommend letting the tour guides take pictures because they did an amazing job taking our pictures. They go out of their way to make the pictures look great. The guides were the best! Leo was friendly, exciting, and very accommodating. I was impressed by their professionalism. They made us feel welcomed. They made sure we were safe. I highly recommend this tour. You cannot miss it!

More fun than hiking! - Super fun way to experience Pacaya. The guides are very safety conscious and keep an eye out for everyone. The lava fields are very interesting. Not as dusty as i expected it to be but a face covering is still a good idea. It was quite a bit cooler up at Pacaya than down in Antigua so take that into account. The "cooked" sandwich was more like warmed but if you are going for the food you are on the wrong trip. Go for the fun and the scenery. They did supply gatorade, water, and a couple of other snacks. Plan on an hour + each way in travel. Fun day and highly recommended.

Not to lose! - Fantastic experience, I loved the tour and our guide, Eryk, was 5 stars. I highly recommend. We were lucky to be a small group where everyone could walk and that made all the difference. The beauty of the volcano is from the way there, really worth it.

ATV Adventure at Pacaya - My 1st ATV ride so wasn’t sure what to expect. Didn’t realize I would be driving thru so many terrains while viewing the volcano. Definitely added to the experience. Lester and the local guide were very patient with my cautious driving. They provided clear instructions and with safety in mind. The views of the volcano were stunning. The lava walk was crunchy and more scenic than other walks taken in Hawaii. Good traction shoes are definitely recommended to go longer distances. There was an unfortunate incident with some locals, but Lester came to my rescue and took excellent care of me. Was fun to shake the dust off after this adventure. Going on a 2nd excursion with this company since this experience was so fun.

Fun day on Pacaya - Really enjoyed the Pacaya Volcano ATV tour. Our guides were terrific! While I wouldn't consider this to be a difficult trek, it's probably best you have some ATV/MC experience as some of the trails are beyond novice in my opinion. You will also want to wear sturdy shoes for hiking across the lava fields.
