★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 89 reviews · 6 hours · from $96

Review of the Pacaya Volcano day tour from Antigua or Guatemala City, with hiking, horse options, lava views, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The trip was fantastic! The drive provided us with a glimpse of other active volcanos and the surroundings. Once we arrived to Pacaya, we were greeted by staff and able to trek for approximately two hours. The hike was moderately challenging due to the previous days of rain making the terrain more loose and slippery. We were able to roast marshmallows over the hot spots of the volcanic rock. This tour provided an insight to Guatemala’s natural beauty, with some physical activity and excitement once you reach the apex. Wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated.”

Review of the Pacaya Volcano and Kawilal Hot Springs tour from Antigua, with hike details, costs, guides, lunch, logistics, and practical tips.

“We booked a tour from Antigua and for our surprise after the tour ended, we were taken to Guatemala City to drop some members of the group. At the end of the tour I checked, and we were 30 min from Antigua and the detour took us 3 hours in heavy traffic to and from Guatemala City. When we call to complain they told us that the tours was a shared trip for both cities but nowhere in the detail description of the tour this is indicated. There is no reason, only to save cost, to have us in a bus for 3 hours after a full day of travel”

Hike active Pacaya Volcano, enjoy lava views, then unwind at Kawilal Hot Springs with lunch on a small-group day tour from Antigua.

“The driver was excellent, safe, and patient. He knew where to go and was happy to let us chatter away. The van was spacious for 4 adults and clean / well maintained. He showed up on time at the location. The volcano hike was very challenging (I’m 45 and moderately active, live in nyc, walk a lot but do not gym since pandemic) but very worth the pain. The views are incredible. Our volcano guide was very nice and attentive and we met a lot of other nice locals on our hike. The lunch at the spa wasn’t great. The food was average. Overall ok after the hike but not…”

Review of the Pacaya Volcano Tour from Antigua, with hike details, guide quality, costs, horse options, weather advice, and practical tips.

“Our guide was incredibly courteous, knowledgeable, and focused on our safety. He worked at our pace (which started off a bit slow thanks to be a former first responder whose lungs were not up to the task initially.) Once we hit our stride, we really got to see some amazing views, and even "skiied" on the way down (once he realized we could take it to the next level. Be prepared to hike a long distance on sand uphill, which is no easy task. Bring plenty of water and dont try to do more than you think you can! The journey TO the volcano from Antigua is an adventure on…”
