Not worth the money. More of a means of transportation than a tour. We were picked up from the hotel by a local taxi driver. We had no idea what was going on and he didn’t speak English (we booked an English tour). The taxi took us to the bottom of Mombacho where we got into a different vehicle with other tourists and a guide. Other than telling us to get into the van and that it would be “about twenty minutes” and “very steep”, we weren’t spoken to or given any information, details, etc. as would be expected on a tour. At the top, our tour guide took us to a few different viewpoints (admittedly beautiful - why this is getting two stars), showed us two steam holes, pointed out two birds, and two plants. Other than that, he led ahead of the group and did not speak to us or share about Nicaragua. After that, we came back down the mountain, got back into the taxi, and were taken back to our hotel. We were back to our hotel in under three hours (advertised as a 4.5 hour tour). The “coffee plantation” and “tasting” are also VERY misleading. You do not see or go to a coffee plantation. They are all over the volcano, but you don’t physically see any. You also don’t get to taste any coffee - they are referring to a coffee shop halfway up that they stop at for five minutes for anyone who wants to buy their own drink (and we had to beg for them to even stop here). Maybe one hour of silently walking through volcano and seeing three or four different viewpoints. That is ALL that this tour is. VERY misleading. Would not recommend. A scam and waste of money.

Hello Jenna, thank you for your feedback. It really helps up improve our services. Once we received your booking we tried to reach out to you regarding your request which was a little bit different to what we usually do on a regular tour. You wanted to hike and do a coffee tour. I messaged you directly explaining the options but never heard anything back from you. *************************************************** Hi thank you for your e-mail. You wil have a guide all the time. We drive you all the way to the Volcano Mombacho reception. Once there, we take a four-wheels drive all the way to the top. There we start the hike. The other option that some people take is to hike from the reception all the way to the top. This must take up to 3.5 plus an extra 2 hours hike on the top. Carlos Adan Reyes Rodriguez Apr 15, 2024, 10:45 AM Regarding the coffe farm visit, all the area is private. When available we can stop by to see the coffee plantations and take some coffee. When open we can do that. Carlos Adan Reyes Rodriguez Apr 15, 2024, 10:48 AM
