We had a great time! Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide! Would definitely recommend!
By Rebecca H for 7 DT - Masaya Volcano Night Tour from Granada on Dec 19, 2024
Book this! This was so undersold we almost didn't do it and we are SO glad we did. My boyfriend and I booked a tour the previous day with Next Adventure Nicaragua and enjoyed our time with our guide so much we came back for this. We thought it would be a little bus ride to the top and a nice overlook. NOPE! We drove in a car to Mombacho, then moved into a 4X4 vehicle and CLIMBED that volcano. The roads were the steepest I've ever seen. We got to the top and then did 2 two hour hike (I'd call it moderate). We explored the jungle, ate some of the plants, saw and heard wildlife, and saw beautiful plants. When we got to the lookout it was completely covered in clouds (not surprising, since its a cloud forest.) BUT our guide was experienced and had us wait maybe 15 minutes. The clouds parted and we had an absoultey stunning view of Laguna de Apoyo, the city of Granada, islets, Lake Nicaragua. Incredible.

Thank you for sharing your enthusiastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you and your boyfriend had such an amazing experience with Next Adventure Nicaragua. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed your initial tour so much that you decided to join us again for the Mombacho volcano adventure. We're glad the journey exceeded your expectations, from the thrilling 4X4 ascent to the moderate two-hour hike through the lush jungle. It's wonderful that you got to explore the rich biodiversity, taste local plants, and witness the stunning view of Laguna de Apoyo, Granada, the islets, and Lake Nicaragua once the clouds parted. Your experience highlights the unique beauty and excitement of our tours, and we appreciate your recommendation. Thank you for choosing Next Adventure Nicaragua!

My boyfriend and I spent the day with Maynor and had such an amazing time! We even asked him if he was free the next day to take us to Mombacho (which he did!) The start time was customizable as was the entire day. It was a private tour and he drove us around in his car. The AC was much appreciated. He took us through the historical parts of Granada, let us climb the bell towers, talked about pirates at the port of Lake Nicaragua, sampled chocolate at the chocolate store/factory, and more. We had lunch at a delicious restaurant and got to try a platter of traditional foods. The first couple hours of the day were spent exploring the islets of Granada on a boat. We saw monkeys and all kinds of birds that we definitely don't have in Vegas (where I live.) Don't hesitate to book this! The day was super fun and Maynor was so fun to hang with :)

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Maynor! We're delighted to hear that you and your boyfriend had such an amazing time. It's great to know that Maynor's flexibility allowed you to customize the start time and the entire day's itinerary. Exploring the historical parts of Granada, climbing bell towers, learning about pirates, sampling chocolate, and enjoying a delicious lunch with traditional foods all sound like highlights of a memorable day. The boat tour through the islets, with sightings of monkeys and unique birds, must have been a fantastic experience as well. We appreciate your enthusiastic recommendation and are thrilled that Maynor made your day both fun and informative. Thank you for choosing our tour, and we hope to see you again for more adventures!

Last month we spend ten days in Nicaragua with Moises as our guide. He organised everything extremely quickly and professional. Our requests and ideas were included and he was very flexible about new ideas. The program Moises established was full and intense, so we got to experience a versatile adventure. Everything was really interesting and he tried to enhance the program by adding some small special events. Moises has a lot of knowledge about all the sights we visited so he transmitted that information in an interesting and passionate way. In that way, it was interesting for adults and children. Furthermore as a person Moises is caring and attentive. He creates a nice and relaxed atmosphere during the trip. Also our driver Don Ric was a calm person and an experienced driver, with whom we felt very safe on the sometimes crazy streets of Nicaragua. We 100% recommend a trip with Moises and Next Adventure Nicaragua. Greetings from a German-Polish family :)
