What are people saying about Nicaragua

Nick_P, Jul 2026

Bringing MANAGUA to life

Eliot our guide in Managua , was the most knowledgeable guide we had with Viator in the last 10 years . He walked us through the history & culture of Nicaragua from the 16th century to the present day , and brought all the buildings and sites alive with his stories. If you have 24 hours in Managua and you want to be immersed in the local culture , history & customs , Eliot is your man !

Best of Granada, Mirador de Catarina and Masaya Volcano Tour

Dawn_L, Jul 2026

So many different things...

So many different things in one day! The Masaya volcano was amazing, the boat tour on Lake Nicaragua was so beautiful and relaxing, but I wish I'd had a better camera for the different birds and monkeys. Lunch by the lake was delicious, and I really enjoyed Granada. Anthony, my guide, was not only knowledgeable but also a delight to be around. I highly recommend.

Tlakualli Food Tour

Ciaran_B, Jul 2026

Fun and delicious approach to learning about Nicaragua

Oscar is a connoisseur of everyday nicaraguan food and has an in depth knowledge of his country's history - there really was no question that he could not answer. He also brought a lot of humour to the tour and we finished up extremely satisfied that we made the decision to take this tour. Thanks Oscar from Ciarán & Eileen.

Masaya Volcano Night Tour!!

A memory that last forever

Joel and Manuel were very professional and knowledgeable and pointed out many things thru out the tour. Joel gave us a nice walk thru the museum and gave us detailed history of it. Joel even took the time to walk us thru a trail, which I notice the other tour companies were not doing I would highly recommend them.

Volcano Boarding Private Tour

Jessica_D, May 2026

Once in a lifetime - book it!!

Miguel was the best tour guide we have ever had! So kind, passionate about Nicaragua and has excellent English. The volcano boarding was such a fun experience - definitely once in a lifetime. You can go as slow or as fast as you like. The private tour made the trip for us, we asked loads of questions and Miguel had all the answers. The driver was an excellent wildlife spotter on the drive to the volcano, not to mention the 4x4 had aircon.

Private Kayaking Experience in Ometepe

Monique_M, May 2026

Kayak by sunset with kaymans!

Very nice tour with Hector. We saw kaymans and many other wild life. We also went to an island where we had an amazing view on the 2 volcanos by sunset. The guide took the time for us and provided us with a lot of information about the area and Nicaragua, his English is perfect and he even took wonderful photos of us. He made our tour the best. Would defenitely recommend!

Challenging but rewarding hike

This is an extremely challenging hike, but rewarding. It was cloudy at the top, but beautiful views on the way up and the way down. The La Union trail offered great views of the entire island. Our guide was very kind and a true mountain goat - he was patient to help and wait for us, I’m sure he could have hiked the volcano in half the time we took. For those who complain their guide wasn’t fluent in English, remember you are in their country, not yours and appreciate the culture.

2 full days tour Granada + Lava+Leon area

Victor_K, Jan 2026

Top-notch!

This was such a delightful tour! A lot of things to see and do - time just flew! The tour guide Zohar demonstrated a lot of knowledge about the places we went through, was very engaging and communicated great both in English and in Spanish (I wanted to practice my Spanish a bit). Awesome boat ride (don't want to spoil, so just know it was wow!), visits to local business, historical places (obviously), great city views, Instagram-worth photos and the volcano! It was clear that the guide wanted to demonstrate the beauty of the places, for instance, when churches were closed for some time they seemed disappointed and tried to figure out how to handle the situation, they discovered changes in working hours, adjusted the tour and then gracefully returned back to the churches so guest (me) did not miss a thing! That was likely the best tour I had in Central America so far, do recommend to everyone! Bravo Zohar!

Masaya volcano tour

Tim, Jan 2026

Highly Recommended

Zohar was a fantastic guide to the volcano. She is friendly, ambitious, and personable and was able to communicate well the history and culture of the Nicaraguan people, both past and present. She gave beneficial insight into Volcan Masaya, from it's formation and the history, to the folklore and cultural feelings about this unique part of the Managuan landscape. I asked many questions and she entertained my inquisitiveness. I'd advise to take along a bottle of water for the evening tour as the cue to the park entrance can get quite lengthy.

Paddle Boarding and Meditation Wellness Experience in Las Isletas

Aaron_A, Dec 2025

Perfect SUP Sunrise Experience

Such an amazing experience with a wonderful guide. Diana is so friendly and helpful throughout. Everything was perfect from the pre-activity communication to On-time pick up. Seamlessly organized throughout. And the experience… A great stretching session while you watch the sunrise and then a picturesque paddle across the lake. Diana is taking photos for you so no need to be concerned with that. Just enjoy the moment. Then you float and have some delicious local organic coffee tea and wonderful conversation with 360° views. Perfect way to start the day. 100% recommend.

Cerro Negro and Volcano Sand Boarding from León

Ella_V, Aug 2025

Great guides and experience!

This was amazing! It was just the two of us and two guides, who were so friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel safe even though it was a crazy experience. I went very slowly and my husband went way faster, and we both had a whale of a time and thankfully avoided any injuries doing this extreme sport.
