The Night, the Price and What Is Left Out
How the night runs, what Tours & Activities SA's price covers, what you pay on top, and what the low reviews complain about.
How the night runs
On Tours & Activities SA’s tour you meet your guide in Antigua (the tour started at 7:30 AM on 20 January 2027, the date we read it) and ride to the trailhead. The trail climbs with views over the mountains and valleys, and lunch is eaten on the way up.
At base camp there is sunset over the mountains, dinner facing Fuego and the night in an A-frame cabin, with a sleeping bag, a mattress and a pillow. How active Fuego is varies from day to day; INSIVUMEH, the national volcano observatory, publishes a daily bulletin.
In the morning comes the sunrise and breakfast at base camp; the sunrise summit hike is in the price. Then the trek back to La Soledad and the bus to Antigua.

What the price covers, and what it leaves out
The US$90 a person was the same for one adult and for two on 20 January and 10 March 2027; 27 November 2026 had no availability, and the next date on sale was 29 November (checked November 2026). It buys:
- transport from and to Antigua;
- a professional bilingual guide;
- lunch, dinner and breakfast, and hot drinks;
- a night in an A-frame cabin with a sleeping bag, a mattress and a pillow;
- the sunrise summit hike.
Not included:
- The park entrance. The Municipality of Acatenango, which runs the park, charges a foreign visitor Q100 (quetzales) and a Guatemalan Q25 (Municipality of Acatenango, checked November 2026).
- Water and gear. Bring your own water; gear can be rented through the operator, arranged by WhatsApp, along with vegetarian meals.
- Fuego. The evening trip towards Fuego is left out of the price, with no figure. CONRED, Guatemala’s disaster-reduction agency, said on 9 August 2026 that the ascent of Fuego is not authorized (Emisoras Unidas). The Fuego add-on sets out what each tour charges for it.
What is included lines this tour up against nine others, item by item.
The same name on Viator
OX Expeditions' Acatenango Volcano Overnight Tour on Viator, from US$109 (checked November 2026), shares the title but is a different tour. It meets at OX Expeditions’ office a few blocks north-west of the central park in Antigua, holds a briefing the day before, serves breakfast at a restaurant before the hike, lends warm clothes, a head torch and a sleeping-bag liner free, and puts you in cabins with windows facing Fuego. Hotel pickup and the hike to Fuego are not included. Its calendar for November and December 2026 showed departures on Mondays and Thursdays only.
What reviewers mention
Tours & Activities SA’s tour has 1,029 reviews on GetYourGuide at an average of 4.5.
