GRANADA, NICA EXCURSION

5.00We had a GREAT time with Tiger! We strongly recommend him to anyone visiting the area of Granada in Nicaragua. Tiger is fluent in English, which was very beneficial to us, as we're from the U.S. & we only speak English. Tiger is very knowledgeable and has a great since of humor. Very punctual and always willing to go the extra mile!

5.00Had an amazing time with Joel our guide and Manuel our driver/guide. It was an excellent tour, they were both knowledgeable and excellent hosts! The only criticism I have is for how the trip was advertised, in the future you should put that tennis shoes are best. We didn’t know that we would be walking on rocky terrain, and we had worn sandals, so tennis shoes would have been better, but overall they were amazing guides, and we got some great pictures and learned a lot about the volcano!

5.00It was an incredible experience. Manuel was very kind, and from the moment the tour started until the end, he was polite, helpful, and explained many topics about the history of Nicaragua and the volcano.

Wonder of Nature

5.00Well worth the trip with a Guide. A tip i reccomend is to book the 4pm trip to get there for twilight and see the crater just before and after sunset (time of year depending). Thete is limited time at the crater due to rising gases with health and safety paramount. Visibility can be pot luck if the day is cloudy or windy that can blow gas so suggest to book as close to the day you forsee cpuld produce a clear evening. Mother nature however will prevail.
No lava, only a red glow

3.00You should advise we don't see lava any more, but only a red glow. Kind of a stress with all this vehicles rushing te be the first on top and first to go back, so it's not really dark when you get up there. Could be better to be the lasts
