FAQs
Because volcanoes are unpredictable, molten lava is usually not visible or accessible. If lava is visible from publicly accessible areas and conditions allow, your guide will prioritize viewing it.
Rain is common in rainforest areas and ponchos are provided when needed. Tours may be adjusted or canceled if conditions are unsafe or significantly impact visibility and access.
