Mud volcano is a core memory you must make! - The time waiting is almost as fun as the time in the mud volcano. Lots of vendors to eat and drink while you wait. Line gets long bc a lot of people are traveling there. Time inside is about 15-20min but it feels GREAT. They make you wash off in a local lake/water hub after the mud volcano dip bc mud is so heavy and then you can rinse off in showers and change BRING WATER SHOES

Good - This was a nice experience to have for the first time. I wish they had a time limit to organize people in the mud but that’s not a tour guide issue. The guide does speak English and explains everything. They organized tips at the end of the excursion for the men that massages in the mud, the person who takes your photo and the person who washes you off at the lake, you can decline all extra services because they are all optional.

The mud tour was great!... - The mud tour was great! Our tour guide made sure to tell us all of the relevant information when we arrived, and the tour, including transportation to and from the volcano, was very well organized. Overall, it was a wonderful ecotourism experience, would recommend to anyone visiting Cartagena!

It was about an hr drive from my hotel, we were greeted by people of the community. The massage was absolutely heavenly! - It was an amazing experience, my tour guide Mary was super helpful regarding translating. Would definitely go back!

Loved it! - It was an amazing experience! The people were so welcoming, the mud bathe was excellent. The tour guide Mary, her English was good. I had no problem with communicating. Excellent experience, I’d do it again!

Nice experience, communication could be better - Nice trip, but communication could be better. We didn't know where or at what time we would be picked up until the morning itself, but once we left we had a good time:)

Expensive mud bath - A staircase leads up to the mud pool, you take off everything except your swimming trunks/bikini and shoes. A guy takes your cell phone and takes pictures, another explains everything to you. In the pool you get a massage, the mud is warm and feels crazy. Then you are led to the lagoon and washed by women. A guy carries your shoes off. Funny experience, but in the end everyone wanted 20COP per person, the explaining guy, the photo guy, the masseur, the shoe-down-wearer, the washerwomen. That adds up to quite a lot for 15 minutes of bathing fun. We felt a bit ripped off. The mud was still a great experience.

OVER ESTIMATED - No I don't recommend it. Very full experience of less than 15 minutes, not worth the two hour journey there and back honestly

Do not recommend - By far the worst excursion I went on. Communication from the start was awful. They did not communicate that the trip would be cancelled if no one else booked. Once they finally arranged something, I was told pick up would be between 2-3pm. I didn't end up getting picked up until 3:30pm and we didn't end up leaving for the excursion till 3:45pm. The entire time, the tour guide was not explaining why we were waiting, when we would leave, etc. We probably exchanged 10 words with her total through the entire excursion. The ride there was 50min and the ride back was another 50min. We only stayed at the volcano for a total of 24 minutes - where during this time, there were locals trying to get us to take photos of us, massage us, or wash us off, which they all expect tip for and wait for you to finish changing before hounding you for money. This excursion had potential to be good but overall I would not recommend. You really do get what you pay for. Might be a better experience with a different tour group.

they cancelled on us 30... - they cancelled on us 30 minutes after they were supposed to pick us up so we didn’t even have the time to reschedule with another company. extremely poor communication from the company- they didn’t tell us what was going on until we asked.
