★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 675 reviews · 4 hours · from $55Our pick

Totumo mud volcano from Cartagena: warm mineral mud, floating in the crater, 50 steps, lake rinse, snack. Guided pickup.

“Awesome tour ! 10/10 recommend. The agency was very communicative about pick up time and expectations. Our tour guide, FRANKLIN, was very informative and helpful. Pick up was walking distance from our hotel. We drove about 1 hour to the volcano in a bus that was comfortable w air conditioning. We were one of the first people to arrive so we didn’t have to wait to get in. They have a team of employees that help you get into the volcano and put the mud on you. Give you a massage if you want but all respect if you don’t want it. They collect your phone and shoes before you…”

Cartagena’s Totumo Mud Volcano with lunch: warm mineral mud therapy, Cienaga rinse time, and a beach-club-style meal with extras for cash.

“As many of the other reviews state you are hassled by all the people wanting you to tip them. While I understand their perspective, I think there should be a system in place to keep tourist feeling safe and not pressured to tip EVERYONE. The mud was great however, I would not recommend getting it in your hair (real or fake). The mud left a horrible black coating in my hair. Now onto the horror of the day. After the volcano we were bussed to the beach for a nice lunch and beach time. After our arrival the bus was switched out with our items on the old bus our…”

“Miguel was a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area and he speaks enough English to where we didn’t need our translator. He explained everything as we went along and was with us the entire trip. He made sure the locals didn’t try to over charge us or hound us for tips. This excursion was worth it.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 12 reviews · 4 hours · from $84

Private Totumo Mud Volcano tour from Cartagena: crater mud bath with local massage, early crowd-avoid drive, plus pink sea sights.

“It was a pleasant ride back and forth, as well as helpful to have a Spanish speaker with us there at the site of the volcano. Also wonderful to get there around 8:45 before the crowds arrived. I will say all it really is is a ride back and forth, so don’t expect them to inform you about the volcano or any history, or stay with you the whole time. But that was what I wanted and was expecting. It also only took us about 3 hours start to finish. 45 min drive there, about an hour there, 45 mins back. Bring tips for the men and women who will…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 11 reviews · 4 hours · from $38

4-hour Cartagena day trip to Totumo mud volcano: exfoliating mineral bath, hydrotherapy massage, snacks, and beach/pool time.

“I booked this activity specifically because it did not include all the other unnecessary trips to the pink lake / hotel beach / etc. I needed to be back to Cartagena in the afternoon so a 4 hour tour starting at 8 am was perfect. The operator messaged me and asked if I could switch to a later booking. I said no. They said no problem. It seems that meant they just sent me off with a partner company since now I had a different person messaging me pickup details and ended up being taken to a random hotel after the volcano, telling my I would only be back to…”

Go from Cartagena area to the 2,300m Volcán del Totumo for mineral mud therapy, then relax at Arena Beach Club with lunch and swimming.

“C'était une bonne journée, l'attraction du volcan est sympa, il faudrait juste préciser que nous sommes dans un petite surface avec beaucoup de monde. Ensuite le club en lui même est pas top, il nne parait pas être utilisé, on se demande s'il ne fonctionne qu'avec l'attraction, il n'y avait personne, les installations n'étaient pas en place sinon le temps sur chaque endroit était correct”
