My Lodotherapy Experience at the Totumo Volcano and Visit to Galerazamba - My experience of lodotherapy at the Totumo Volcano was both relaxing and unique. Being covered in the warm volcanic mud was a fun and calming experience, and I learned about its supposed health and skin benefits. After rinsing off in the nearby lake, I felt refreshed and rejuvenated. The visit to Galerazamba was equally memorable, especially seeing the beautiful pink salt flats, which were breathtaking and unlike anything I had seen before. Overall, the trip was enjoyable, educational, and truly unforgettable.

Will do again - What a great experience to learn about the history and salt lake. Especially the once in a lifetime experience of the Volcano. Everyone should try at least one time. It's an experience you won't forget. And you will not sink! Lol trust me...our tour guide was great. They picked us up at the hotel on time. When we got to the volcano we were basically the only ones there enjoying the mud volcano. Group of 5. Upon exiting we walked down to the water and the ladies helped wash the mud off. We left a generous tip as all the helpers involved shared the funds...

pleasant experience float in mud - It's a great experience the feeling of getting in the mud is very dreadful I highly recommend it and try to stay as much as possible inside it's rewarding to feel you float

Nice little tour - Relaxing and comfortable and the museum is cool too. The mud is thick so you don’t need to learn how to swim and they will help you clean off. Please be sure to tip!

Trinis in Totumo 🇹🇹 - Pickup was smooth and communication was good. Was a longer drive than we thought but was ok. We had a fun time at the mud bath itself, the persons doing the massaging were a little pushy. The pink sea wasn't pink at all, but we were aware of that beforehand.

Fun but cramped. - Would have been 5 stars but the Van is so small we had a full group of 12 and the Van “holds” 12 but not 12 adults. It was tight. Beyond that great tour. Yuliana was awesome. Explained the day and what was expected. Very nice. The salt lake was interesting. The volcanic mud was a fun experience. If I were to do it again I’d look into a private tour.

Great day, less than great administration - I had originally booked the Volcano and Galerazamba tour. It wasn’t until an hour before I was to be picked up that I was informed that my original tour was cancelled. I was given the option of doing the tour the next day or cancelling all together. I was quite upset and it was only after I vocalized this that I was offered to go on the Volcano only tour. This should have been the first option- and should have been told the day before, not an hour before pick up. I choose the Volcano only tour, as it was still an activity I really wanted to do. The mud bath, massage and experience was excellent. There definitely was some confusion on the part of the women who help wash you off, as to their service being paid for. I had paid for all 4 services to the same guy who had helped take photos, and had to have him confirm to the woman that I had already paid. Overall the day and experience was great. My guide, Sam, was very helpful and kind.

Be careful with this... - Be careful with this tour. It could be great, but ours wasn't. The van sent to drive you is old and slow and the air conditioning is not good. We visited Galerazamba, but they didn't tell us the pink lake wasn't pink until we were there. It may not be pink when you go there. The volcano was good. We were the first one picked up, and I would assume the last one to be dropped off. They were having trouble organizing the drop off, so we got out and had to take an Uber home. The trip took a long time with no food or ability to buy food.

Don’t bother - Absolutely not as advertised. The only saving grace was our guide Laura. The Pink Sea is closed - it wasn’t even a thing although we paid for it. The volcano is man made and basically human soup. NEVER AGAIN! Don’t waste the money. Although being shaken down by the lady boys on the drive was interesting.
