“Absolutely amazing experience. Weather was bad so we were called and told they could re book us for a better day. Guides were knowledgeable about both the nearby towns and the volcano itself. We had a CF Moto 450 for the day for 2 people. The ride was both on and off road with quite a lot of off roading time. We stopped at the highest point we were allowed to go to where we could grab something to eat and drink, before we came back down. On the way back we crossed through the river in the gorges which was awesome!”

“We recommend; the tour was very good. Very well guided by Flavio and Milo. Safe feeling all the time. Certainly possible for everyone also with young children. You don’t really go very high, so afterwards you still need to go up with cable (high) or by foot (not so high)”
