Spectacular tour with Bryan – 5 stars ⭐ - The tour was spectacular thanks to our guide Bryan. We explored the lake and then the slopes of the volcano, learning about the history of the most important eruptions. The explanations were very interesting and made the whole experience even more special. The driver could improve a bit, but overall it was an amazing tour and definitely deserves 5 stars.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - One of the first things you notice when driving a quad bike is the feeling of freedom and adrenaline, added to this: The visits of the irregular trails and the volcano 🌋 are spectacular... My friends and I loved the experience. P.D. The guide is super friendly and speaks Spanish and English.

Fun at first, then a dangerous accident and poor response! - I booked an ATV off road volcano tour through Viator. The scenery was beautiful and the experience started out enjoyable. Unfortunately, I had a serious accident that highlighted major safety gaps. I was paired with a very young guide and did not receive the level of instruction or hazard warnings you would expect for a high risk activity. When we entered the volcano area, the pace increased, but there were no clear warnings about dangerous sections or guidance on how to navigate them. I crashed into a ravine and fell with the ATV. The wheel came down on me. This could have been life threatening. I was lucky to avoid major breaks, but I was injured and shaken. I also had a bleeding cut on my ring finger. Water was poured on it, but there was no bandage available and no proper first aid kit at the camp. They used a napkin. A stocked emergency kit should be standard on an ATV tour. What concerned me most was the post accident response. Instead of arranging a safe return for me, I was told I was “fine” and I was expected to drive the ATV back myself. At camp, when I asked if I should see a doctor, I was discouraged from getting checked and felt rushed onto the shuttle. The shuttle driver was the one who urged me to go to a clinic and get x rays. I went to a private clinic and spent 2,180 quetzales total: 1,790 for x rays and the emergency consult plus 390 for prescriptions. It became a very expensive accident. I understand off roading comes with calculated risk, and I take responsibility for choosing an adventure activity. But better safety communication, proper first aid supplies, and a clear injury protocol would have made a big difference. I recommend the operator strengthen training and supervision, provide clear hazard briefings, control speed expectations, carry real first aid kits, and treat injuries with more caution rather than minimizing concerns.
