★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 108 reviews · 6 hours · from $89

Hotel pickup, water, sports drinks, snacks, a first-aid kit, and English guiding are provided. Proper hiking shoes and good fitness matter.

“This is not a hike. This is a climb. Head down, over roots, scrambling on rocks, pulling on vines climb. Hands on rocks or on sides of gullies so you don't fall climb. This is not for kids, this is not for the elderly, this is not for anyone that isn't in good shape. At the top of the volcano, you can fall off the ledge, there is not railing or ropes, and fall to your death. I am not exaggerating. It is 2.5hours of climbing up and 1.5 hours back down. I work out and swim every day. I am in good shape. This was not easy or even…”

“My wife and I signed up for this rainforest hike since we spent much of our time on beaches and water sports in other cruise stops. It rained heavily a few minutes after we got into the open air pickup truck (with a cover) and the car started going. My wife did not feel comfortable continuing the trip and requested the driver to take her back to the port. After dropping her off, two other guests and I continued the trip. The hike was nice but part of the journey was strenuous and required holding onto ropes to climb up. Although the pickup truck's inside door panels were missing along…”
