Unfortunately the volcano wasn’t erupting when we visited, but Hannibal showed us a great video he took of an eruption from the same spot earlier in the week! I definitely recommend the tour, especially with Hannibal as the tour guide! Planning this tour through Viator was easy and everything went smoothly. And we love it when a plan comes together!”
