So satisfying! - Our tour was absolutely fantastic. The ride to the site was smooth and comfortable, and we really appreciated not having to carry our boards since everything was taken care of for us. Sergio, our guide, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and full of knowledge. He shared interesting facts along the way and made the whole experience feel personal and fun. He also captured amazing photos and videos for us, which was such a thoughtful touch.
We saw larger groups on the trail and felt so glad that we decided to spend a little more for a private tour. It made all the difference. Sergio was kind and patient, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and letting us move at our own pace. The views were stunning, the sandboarding was exhilarating, and even the hike up was enjoyable in its own way.
That said, the hike can be a bit tiring, especially in the heat, but once you reach the top, the hardest part is over. The trail flattens out and it is a short walk to the starting point. One tip, bring a bandana. You will definitely want to shower afterward since you will end up with volcanic grit in your hair, face, clothes, and every little corner you can imagine. Still, it was absolutely worth it and a highlight of our trip.

10/10😀 Franklin our guide was fab - Had loads of fun, Franklin was an excellent guide, he kept the energy high and made sure we all had a great time.
Note: the volcano is STEEP so be prepared for some adrenaline and a bumpy ride on the way down!
Also the hike up was very pretty and a highlight in itself :)

Amazing experience - Our guide Franklin made sure we had an amazing time on the volcano. He was knowledgeable and shared information of the eruptions in the past. The vibes were great, he brought a JBL speaker and played tunes for us. He took a lot of high quality pictures and videos for us to remember the experience! (Included in the price)
For a very good price we got transportation, information, gear, cold drinks and a lot of fun :)

Amazing! - This tour was fantastic! Well worth it. Franklin was the guide for my wife and I, he was very knowledgeable! They picked us up in a nice new roomy truck for our private tour to Cerro Negro. My wife and I are not avid hikers so it was nice that we went at our own pace taking scenic breaks along the way. We didn’t even have to carry up our boards up the volcano, which is awesome because I saw many other boarders carrying theirs, no thanks. Franklin took a lot of pictures and videos of us which in itself basically getting a private photographer/videographer was sweet! Super worth it right there! Memories for a lifetime. :) He airdropped us right away as well. The jumpsuit we wore was of a denim material so it made us feel very safe! It was a more protective that what others wore. It was high quality material. The only thing I recommend bringing with you up the volcano beside a bottle of water is a handkerchief to cover your mouth when sledding down. And then the sledding part WOW. Sooo fun! And it was all on film! Thank you so much for a wonderful time. Absolutely recommend!
