There's more to lava than you think - A fascinating tour through the cave.. Our guide, Angel was excellent, explaining the processes of volcanic eruptions in a clear and, and at sometimes amusing manners. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his work. 👏

Volcanoes and lava tubes explained - Our knowledgeable guide (Mario) told us practically everything about the volcanic activity in La Palma, especially the 2021 eruption. The lava tube visit was extraordinary - I strongly recommend to take this tour!

Walking in a lava tunnel, super special! - Mario told us with great enthusiasm (and a banana from his own plantation) about the lava tunnels, the eruption, the geology and the special position of La Palma. Highly recommended!

Lava tubes and volcanos both old and new - Five out of five for this tour. Angel's knowledge was amazing and his ability to give this knowledge in a relaxed and enjoyable way allowed us to learn much more than we realised. We came away knowing much more about lava tubes, volcanos, La Palma and the other Canarian islands too.

Nice tour and should not be missed when you are in La Palma - Super nice experience and very interesting. We had a nice guide. Been in the corridors of the lava and there was a lot to see. Tip: make sure you have good shoes because the lava stones are very sharp

Spectacular visit. - Unique experience being able to walk inside a volcanic tube . It is worth hiring this experience and make the visit. You have to book in advance and only two or three agencies do it. Chulisimo

You should do it! - Excellent preparation keeping all safety recommendations due to COVID-19, we felt safe all the time. The tour guide excellent, very good explanations about not only the cave, but also the island that gives perfect context about what you are about to see. Very interesting material and time flew due to the kindness and fun guide . It completely exceeded our expectations. Totally recommended!

Expensive and brief - We arrived at the center thinking of making a spectacular visit that was summarized in 5 minutes of projection and 10 minutes of visit to the tube where you can see practically nothing. Also the price in relation to the visit is quite high. We were charged €8 per person for being peninsulars. Very poor.
