From pick up to drop off, the whole experience was incredible. We loved seeing the volcano so close and able to take pictures with an amazing view. Baldi Hot Springs was the icing on the cake— truly made the entire trip! Definitely recommend!

Early morning pickup with great communication with the guide who was very informative and easy to get along with. After an approximate 2 1/2 hour air conditioned bus ride we arrived at the volcano and hot springs, which were both awe inspiring and surreal. Multiple springs, play area for kids, and about 8 waterslides! Before we got to the volcano overlook we stopped for a short breakfast and amazing coffee, with a buffet lunch at the springs. After we boarded the bus it was another 2 1/2 hour drive back to the dropoff with tons of flowers, plants and animals to see on the way. If you have the chance I DEFINITELY recommend you take advantage of this euphoric experience. It'll be one you won't forget!!!!
