In two words: shocking and overwhelming - Everything around is black lava that reaches the sea. In my review is a must to go to La Palma and feel the volcano from there. You can't explain it in words, you have to live it.

Great excursion! - Super well organized and very interesting. Both the guide and the driver were super nice and everything was very good. The food, the times very well measured… a very good excursion.

An unforgettable experience. - Tajogaite volcano route. A guided tour with stunning views. See live what the terrain has looked like after the eruption of the volcano and its destruction. Thank Lucas, the guide, for his explanations and anecdotes about what was experienced during the eruption. Without a doubt, highly recommended!!

Tajogaite Volcano - Very good for the company “La Palma Natural” and also for the very nice and friendly guide Federica who explained to us everything that happened in the eruption throughout the journey.

Really interesting tour - Ist was really interesting to see so near the lava , the volcano and the consequences of eruption. Susi could give us a lot of information about the history of the island, the volcano. At the end we had a nice lunch.

Excellent - The tour was great, Rosie (tour operator), did a great job on managing the languages and making sure everyone was involved. The views of the island are well worth seeing

La Palma. Paradise for curious people. - Beautiful island. Very mountainous. You need a car. Forget the beaches. Towns and villages lovely. Prices much cheaper than UK. People lovely, considerate, fair and generous. Other drivers considerate, roads very good. Hire cars quite inexpensive. Mountains(volcanos) spectacular. New interpretation centres wonderful with lovely staff. Restaurants good and inexpensive (try Cinnamon and Chippi Chippi, in spite of the name).
Altogether a wonderful place to go for people with a brain. (Not for the lager swilling beach addicts).
Recommend it thoroughly to curious, intelligent, adventurous, considerate people.
We’ll definitely go back.
I won’t tell you the name of our lovely hotel (very small, town centre), because it’ll book up then we might not get in again. Overall 9 and a half out of 10 (nothing’s perfect). Peter Hill.

Amazing - It was amazing to se what the volcano did to the island. We drove thru the lava on a temporary road, with all the destroyed houses.

meh - A nice tour of some locations of the last eruption. Don't expect much though, the pictures are misleading, and if you have your own rental car you're better of exploring yourself.
We don't regret going though.

It is difficult to evaluate an excursion that has not taken place. I'm upset because they haven't given me a refund. - It didn't happen and I'm waiting for a refund. They called me 24 hours before to reschedule, but it was not possible due to my flights.
