Top Managua Hiking Tours

This Mombacho Volcano tour from Granada provides three options for seeing Nicaragua’s most popular volcanic cloud forest.

Have three different experiences in this one-day, private tour from Managua. You won’t need to share with a group, and you can feel free to go at your own pace. You’ll have a personal guide and driver to take you by boat to Granada Island to see a family of monkeys, a walking tour around Granada city, and also a visit to Masaya Volcano to get to the edge of the main crater and check out the lava below.

Masaya Volcano is an astounding sight with a dark history. Once used by indigenous tribes for human sacrifices, this protected area is now a popular attraction just a few minutes south of Managua. This private tour will cruise you up to the edge of the volcano at night where you can safely peer down at the “Gates of Hell” from one of many viewpoints near the crater’s edge.

Imagine reaching the top of two volcanoes in the same day, with a very different climate and visiting viewpoints that provide the best photos. The activities and times for each activity may vary according to your preference, ziplining the Mombacho volcano, visiting the Catarina viewpoint or taking a carriage ride through the city of Granada are many of the activities that you can do on this incredible tour.

Enjoy three tours in one when you book this day trip that includes a boat ride and sightseeing tour in Granada as well as a visit to the Masaya Volcano. Alongside a private guide, take a boat ride on Lake Granada and visit small islets where you can see wildlife and an old fortress. After a walking tour of downtown Granada, head to the top of the Masaya Volcano for stunning views.
