"Walking into Peace" - I had the pleasure of experiencing the Le'Michel Volcano in April 2022. My favorite part of the trip was finding out what was next. It was an adventure getting into the forest, then we had to climb to the volcano and then hike it to the ocean. Honestly our tour guide Nick was Amazing. From the time he picked us up (3 in total), he was kind, friendly, and welcoming. He played good tunes and gave us the history of DEBE. We stopped at Singh's Doubles, a place he's patronized for over 10 years. We ate doubles, saheena, and sipped some apple juice. Once we reached the volcano (after a beautiful long walk in nature) we were so enthralled. The texture is loose and can be a problem for those with texture aversion. The mud has a stench to it but with an open mind, you get used to it. Nick took pictures of us and we received some wise words from one of the local farmers. As we headed on our hike to the ocean, I felt this spiritual energy surrounding us. It was so beautiful. Nick made sure we were safe and encouraged us to take breaks. Walking through the forest is a job, lol. So many beautiful elements. Once we reached the four of us let out the biggest sigh. We were the only ones on the beach. It was so peaceful and serene. Nick took pictures and videos for us. He was so courteous. Coming from the US it felt so good to be protected & respected in sweet sweet T&T. I would highly recommend booking with Viator.

Mud Volcano - Something Unique To Trinidad - Denton was an amazing tour guide! We had a great time and he was very knowledgeable! Doubles and Roti we got were delicious. The mud was very relaxing, warm and you can float in it!! Definitely want good walking shoes (that you don’t mind getting dirty) and a water bottle. The beach we went to afterwards was peaceful and the water wasn’t too cold. He also took us to see two beautiful Temples! Definitely a must do if you want to experience something new!

Awesome! - We had a great time on this adventure! Zaree (sorry if mispelt) is a wonderful guide, the tour as a whole was everything we expected (picked up in an AC van, stop for great food, mud, strutt to the beach and a dip). Definently pack some good comfortable water shoes ;)

A Must Do - My tour Guide Denton was amazing he had all the things i didn’t such as the right boots to hike in. Breakfast because I woke up late 🤣 He was knowledgeable about the area and made me feel confident about getting into a mud volcano by myself. I was touring solo so he took the pictures for me and I had an amazing time. The hike to the old beach is also fun he doesn’t hike to fast and makes sure you are close by. The mud itself revitalizes your entire body. It is so worth the trip if your solo you have to pay double but the tour guide makes that worth your wild. 🤣👌🏾🇹🇹 You must book

Amazing trip!! - Really unique hike to the mud volcano and we had the whole thing to ourself! The food tour was a nice added touch. Cannot say enough good things about Nate, our tour guide, he went above and beyond at every turn, and a really smart and interesting guy to talk to. Highly recommend!

Unique Trinidad experience - Definitely glad I did this tour, swimming in a mud volcano is not something you can do just anywhere. Did not realize quite how much hiking was involved though. It is not a difficult trail but 45 minutes covered head to toe in mud can be kind of uncomfortable so be prepared with adequate shoes and water. The food stops in town were excellent. Make sure to try as many different foods as you can!

South Land Hike - For the nature lover this 2 for 1 deal is awesome. Had a blast visiting L'eau Michel Mud Volcano and L'eau Michel Beach. Its an easy hike if you want to call it a hike. Its more of a walk. At the volcano have yourself to a full body (hair included) DIY mud treatment. Just go in and get covered. And, laugh it up being happy as you go sliding down the natural mud slide. After soaking in all the nutrients from the mud head to the beach to wash off. Soak up the Sun and get you some Salt Water Healing. Whether you plan a trip on your with friends or you utilize one of the local hike/adventure/outdoor tour providers, L'eau Michel is a must.

Not Bad - The tour guide was great. It was only my husband and I on the tour. The mud smells really bad. The walk from the mud to rinse off is more like a long hike through a jungle.

SCAM!!!! - BUYER BE AWARE!!!!! The tour and advertisment is falsely. My friends and I did not do the tour at all! The "Hiking" trail was a thick muddy path which is not walkable! The Tour guide informed us that it is usually not like this. My friends and I then asked for a refund which we was told that they provided services and they did not! We did not get the food, we did not hike, and we did not experience the mud volcano! When I spoke with the owners, they were very RUDE and asked that we take it up with Viator. By all means, save your money and avoid Eco-cultural Tours.
