Great views and a fun ride down - Carlos was a great tour guide! On the way to the volcano, he talked about different things that we were seeing, peanut fields, farms, etc. The hike up Cerro Negro was medium-difficulty. It was a bit hot, so, definitely bring water. The ground was made up of black sand and lava rocks - slippery at times, so, having a good grip shoes is a must. The views during the hike up were breathtaking. We saw 4 craters, sulphur smoke, and felt the ground be very very hot.
Slide down the side of the volcano was amazing! At first a bit scary to start, but once we felt the speed, it was a lot of fun, and we swooshed down in no time. A great and unique experience for everyone to try!

More than just the boarding! A great way to start the day. - A really memorable experience. Even the drive out to the site feels something like a safari tour which is a cool experience. The volcano itself and surrounding scenery are awesome, so we really enjoyed the hike up. It does get quite windy up there so don’t be ashamed to hand over your board to a porter if you don’t want to battle the wind. And the ride down was great fun. Easy to control your speed so it’s all up to you how hard you go. Our guide was great, super friendly and knowledgeable and more than willing to help make it enjoyable.

Kickass tour - well worth it! - The hike up was worth it by itself - seeing both cauldron formations and the hot ground up on top of the cone was crazy cool! Topography and views were incredible - so worth dealing with the 70mph sustained winds, yes, nearly knocked us off our feet several times. Outstanding.
And the ride down? No go standing for the first 50 ft due to lack of slope, but after that was able to stand the rest of the way. Quite a rush for a skier who doesn't snowboard. Recommend this enthusiastically! And Carlos was an excellent guide.
THANK YOU!!!

Amazing Volcano Boarding - Today we've done the amazing Volcano Boarding Trip at Cerro Negro. Even though it was raining a little bit it was so worth it and super fun. While sliding down the volcano the clouds disappeared and we had a beautiful view. Thank you so much for this fun activity!
