PRIVATE Granada+Apoyo Lagoon and Masaya volcano tour

We had a great time and the tour was great Anthony was a great tour guide thank you so so much ! Looking forward to other tours

If you desire a deeper understanding of Nicaraguan history and its culture, this excursion is for you. Esdras is a very knowledgeable tour guide who is passionate about sharing his perspective about Nicaragua. I thoroughly enjoyed our dialogue as well as the sites we visited. I left with a better understanding of the Nicaraguan people and the country pride they display. I would recommend the Masaya, Granada and Apoyo excursion to anyone visiting Managua.

Guide offered option of seeing the "live" volcano during day or night. Apparently in the later afternoon it can shut because of rain but we rolled the dice and it worked out really well. Should mention both our guides spoke English, arrived right on time at our hotel in a new airconditioned 4x4 Nissan diesel pickup. We started off with Granada, a walk through downtown with a couple of churches with lots of history from the local guides. There was a lot of beautification work going on in the main square so today some of it was inaccessible. Next we had ( again private) a motorboat ride through mangroves and inlets of Granada. Cool trees with a variety of wildlife including many birds and some local monkeys. It's a relaxing ride through very small islands on which many have houses owned by the countries richest. You can get a beer or some food in the "harbour" if wanted. Next stop was to a lake in Apoyo volcano crater. You do have to pay a small amount for entry and you can buy beer or wine or food in the place. They have a couple of rafts most people swim to and many kayaks and paddleboard/ watercraft that are no additional charge. The water was ( guessing) 86f so nice and warm. We spent about 3 hours there as we needed to wait to see the volcano at night and traffic was quite light. You have to ( in the vehicle) line up which took us a total of about 1/2 hr to get in as you are only allowed 10 minutes in the volcano area. Got some great shots of the red "boiling " caldron. Just unbelievable that you are allowed there, at home it would be roped off 10 miles away. They then dropped us off at our hotel. As I say , we perhaps got lucky with everything, but it was a fantastic day and well worth it.

I would fully reccomend the people doing this tour. They were really good, great information.about the country. Picked us up in a very new truck, obviously had AC. It said private tour but I thought that just meant a smaller bus, but it was just my wife and I. Communication was very good as they spoke English and we don't understand much Spanish. The Volcano at night was amazing, a really nice swim in the lake in the crater of a different non-active volcano. The water was nice an warm, very relaxing. We Visited The Downtown Granada and the guides gave us history lessons.

It was a nice day and we enjoyed all activities within this trip. Our guide Marvin was an excellent guy in spite of his young age and his rich knowledge of history was really remarkable. Thank you Marvin

From the moment I booked the excursion, communication was easy and efficient. My tour guide Gilber was very informative and great! Rafael is a great driver as well. I love that the excursion is able to see several great sights of Nicaragua, a must tour! My absolute favorite was swimming in a crater lake, Laguna de Apoyo. It's so peaceful and relaxing there. I also enjoyed the hike at Volcán Masaya— I'm not much of a hiker, but I'd do it again! Beautiful view from the top!

Had great service my tour guides was very patient and informative recommend the tour Granada was beautiful and colorful

Excellent .The young Michael guide But super educated and with great command of your country.I recommend it mandatory to be here.The guy Ernesto is amazing.He knows a Lot about the country You must Enjoy this tour

Great tour and tour guide, especially swimming in the lake was really nice! Unfortunately the vulcano isn’t that spectacular as the top is closed for the public.

This was such a fun trip! Both the guide, Kenneth, and our driver were fun and engaging! It was like travelling with friends on the drive between stops. Highly recommend this tour!
