Review of Cartagena’s Totumo mud volcano tour, including lunch, beach club time, costs, tipping, transport, timing, and practical advice.
“This was an extremely memorable day for my mother and I. Our guide stayed with us the entire day and gave a clear run down on what to expect for day. From how much to tip the locals who were working the volcano ,even being a buffer to make sure we weren’t being overcharged, to what lunch and the pool day(dangerous beach conditions)would consist of. She was a gem and made a huge impact on how great the day went. This is such a great deal, make sure you book!”
Review of Cartagena’s Totumo mud volcano tour with lunch, private pools, beach time, transport, local services, tips, and practical advice.
“I really enjoyed this trip. - the bus was nice and had good a/c. Everybody was very friendly and the mud bath was a special experience! I took a morning tour and didn’t find it too busy. I decided to go all in and have photos, a mud massage and a lady help me clean off all the mud afterwards. - the guide was very helpful in letting us know how much to tip for each service. I was solo traveling in Colombia and met some lovely people to do some other tours and travel with. I would happily recommend this trip!”

Finally we had a good lunch and relaxed on the beach. Highly recommend it!”

We came for the deserts which didn't disappoint but also the surprise boat ride on the river really broke up the day. I can't recommend this enough!!”
