Best Antigua Guatemala Volcano Tours: Our Top 15

1.Adventure, 2-Day Hiking to Acatenango Volcano

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,189 reviews · 2 days · from $54Our pick

Acatenango Volcano review: a tough, low-cost two-day hike from Antigua with sunrise views, volcano eruptions, basic camping, and practical tips.

“Louis was our guide and he helped us with everything throughout the tour. The hike was quite challenging, especially due to the constantly changing weather conditions, but the overall experience was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. I definitely recommend doing the Fuego hike (make sure to bring a headlamp!) — it’s full of adrenaline and really pushes your limits. Unfortunately we didn’t see anything climbing up to Fuego due to weather. Don’t forget to pack extra warm clothes and some additional supplies such as protein or energy bars, altitude sickness medication, and at least 3 liters of water. Extra tips: Don’t eat street food the day before;)”

Hike Pacaya from Antigua through pine forest and volcanic ash, with lava views, marshmallows, guides, and practical tips for a $23 tour.

“Hike is relatively easy, but in case there is a problem, horses are provided for 100 QTZ (one way). I advise against taking the horses though, since I feel like they don't treat them well. Unfortunately it was cloudy and I wasn'r really able to see anything. Hiking shoes are recommended but it can also be done in sneakers.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 645 reviews · 2 days · from $90

Review of Antigua’s 2-day Acatenango hike, with lava views, sunrise, meals, guides, cabins, costs, gear tips, and honest difficulty advice.

“Our guides Aiden and Alex were amazing! We took regular breaks on the way up and they made us delicious food at the top! The hike is tough but if you’ve done any hikes in Patagonia for example then we found those to be harder. Take note that the toilet is a hole in the ground with no toilet paper or anywhere to wash your hands, so advice would be take enough toilet paper with you and some hand wipes! The a-frame cabins are equipped with 4 single mattresses on the floor which we shared with another couple. It was warm enough for the majority of the night but before…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 31 reviews · from $115

Hike Guatemala’s active Pacaya Volcano, then soak in thermal pools and enjoy lunch at Kawilal Hot Springs on a nine-hour day tour.

“The hike was kind of challenging but great, the walking stick rental was $2 but worth every penny because I have a bad knee and I didn’t want to give up and ride a horse:) All uphill and not used to the altitude. The marshmallow roasting was a fun ending! After the hike we drove about 40 minutes to a fancy resort for the lunch, then went on the ‘thermal circuit’. We didn’t get much for instructions so ask questions! There were four small pools ranging from something like 75 to 105 F. Free smoothies too! It felt quite luxurious! Our driver simply waited until we were done, so we…”

Hike Acatenango, camp at 3,750 meters, and watch Fuego erupt on a demanding two-day Guatemala adventure from Antigua.

“Absolutely loved this tour and could not have asked for better service. We booked super last minute for a spontaneous trip to Guatemala so I was a bit worried things wouldn’t work out but I quickly became reassured by the ease of communication from the company. Sebastian was very friendly and happy to answer all of my questions. The lady working at the front desk was also super helpful advising us on what to pack and also lent us some warm clothes including jumpers, beanies and gloves. Our guides David and Willy truly made the experience extra special. They walked at our pace and were always supportive when the track…”
