This trip is as...
This trip is as advertised in terms of difficulty . Our hike was a bit shorter than in the description. Guide was very knowledgeable and did an amazing job of spotting wildlife. He was very good about taking photos through his scope leaving us with much better photos than we could have taken. He set a good pace, accommodating the different fitness levels. He answered all questions in a clear and helpful way. You need to do this hike with a guide: alone we’d never have seen a small bit of what he showed. The only drawback: there is a lovely cafe with amazing views of the volcano close to the parking lot and we didn’t stop. Twenty minutes for coffee there would have been great.

Our guide was incredible!...
Our guide was incredible! She was so friendly and very knowledgeable. I think for excursions like this it’s always better to go with a guide especially if you’re solo. We learned about the volcano and got to see some incredible view points. Hike is pretty much all rocky and on a steep incline but very doable!!

Our guide was Ray, he was amazing. I went with my 4 and 7 year old children. They were able to keep up with the group. Ray was personable and very knowledgeable. The day we went it was raining so we didn't get a good view of the volcano. However, it was still a very lovely experience.

A beautiful, informative, medium intensity three-hour hike. Hector was an amazing guide - knowledgeable, witty, and kind. He took tremendous pride in his job. Highly recommended!
