Thank you Nieves
This was a nice experience it felt very natural and ritualistic in the mud volcano then they take you to the river and bathe you in the water to get it off, which is a very nice experience. After that you go to a beautiful restaurant and private pool with access to the beach with is very relaxing without vendors the murals and art surrounding the pool are so nice and a great photo opportunities, my guide Nieves was a sweet kind and beautiful woman. Thank you

Our tour guide Samuel was...
Our tour guide Samuel was exceptional. The experience was great! Greatful for the ladies in the river. Tips would be let your guide take care of the payments because it can be confusing and the people can be pushy. Overall i would recommend.

Horrible
To start, tour guide expected us to know exactly where the meet up point is without taking a vehicle to get there. She was telling us it wasn’t a far walk but when we called an uber it was a 12 minute drive. We are not from Colombia and didn’t feel safe walking and felt bad because we were told we could’ve walked. Once we got there the tour guide didn’t speak English to us at all. We understand that this is a Spanish speaking country and we respect the language however it said she was bilingual and spoke English. She spoke like 3 things to us in English the entire day and only had conversations with the Spanish speaking individuals. We felt very excluded. Also when we were at the volcano she approached us and said “I need a picture because the company is asking for it” she came off very rude. I would not recommend this particular company to any black Americans visiting Colombia or any black English speaking person.

Fantastic Day Trip to the Mud Volcano
I would highly recommend this tour! My fiancée and I loved it. The tour guide, Nevis was very punctual and dialled in. It’s a very chill, relaxed atmosphere and Nevis was great about explaining the itinerary for the day. After the mud volcano, we were brought to the hotel with a pool and the vibes were fantastic. The lunch is phenomenal as is the service. This tour exceeded all our expectations.

Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included cost?
+
Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cartagena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cartagena is not rushed.
Is Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cartagena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cartagena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cartagena and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cartagena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cartagena?
+
On Outty we rank every Cartagena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system, Cartagena VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cartagena?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cartagena?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included?
+
Included: Entrance to the Volcano; Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Playa de la Boquilla. Not included: Gratuities; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 213 listed pickup locations in and around Cartagena. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tour to Mud Volcano with Pool and Beach with Lunch Included?
+
