What To Expect
Mombacho Volcano Natural Reserve
This colossal and stunning volcano´s cloud forest offers impressive panoramic views and it is also the home of hundreds of orchids. Mombacho volcano is an active andesitic and basaltic stratovolcano located about 10 km south of the city of Granada, west of Lake Nicaragua and a few kilometers SE of Laguna Apoyo. A possible historic eruption occurred in 1570, when a debris avalanche destroyed a village on the south side of Mombacho volcano. There are reports of an explosion, but there is no accepted evidence that an eruption did occur. Current activity consists of fumaroles and hot springs within the 2 collapse scarps and on the upper northern flank. Stratovolcano 1344 m – 4,409 ft / Nicaragua, 11.83°N – 85.97°W / Current status: normal or dormant.
Laguna de Apoyo
Whichever order you choose, the tour also includes time to unwind at Apoyo Lagoon, a serene volcanic crater lake surrounded by lush greenery and crystal-clear waters. With a day pass, you’ll enjoy swimming, kayaking, and access to comfortable facilities, making it the perfect spot to relax after your volcano adventures.

5.00My family and I joined Moises on a guided tour of Mombacho Volcano. Moises made the trip fun and informative and the views were spectacular. After hiking we took a short break and continued on to the zip lines, where we saw a sloth hanging out in the canopy above us. Moises and his team were awesome! Thank you Next Adventure Nicaragua!

5.00Our group of 6 friends and family had an incredible time hiking the Crater Trail and I guide was extremely fun, friendly and knowledgeable. After enjoying the incredible views from the Crater Trail, our guide found a sloth sleeping in a tree nearby and called us over. The guides are very invested in making sure you get the most out of your tour. We followed that with the zip line circuit and our guides made us feel incredibly safe and well cared for. They were clearly knowledgeable and well trained for safety and their equipment was top of the line. One of them even took amazing photos and videos of our whole group. When we returned we enjoyed the most incredible iced coffee drinks and watched the sunset from the plantation. Outstanding service and incredible experience. 10 out of 10 for sure. :)

5.00Great day with our Moises guide! Everything was well organized from start to finish according to our requests! We started with the puma trail at the Mombacho volcano, a demanding trail and that is why the service of a guide is necessary especially for safety, as well as to be able to learn and have all the relevant information about the fauna, flora and activities of the volcano! Then we went by boat to see the islands of Grenada until sunset! Busy day, memorable and We could conclude, it was: Diakachimba 😜🐒

5.00We did two tours and an airport transfer with Next Adventure and all services were so great! My husband and I didn’t pre plan anything so it was very last minute and Alfredo was able to accommodate us very easily. Everyone we met was very nice and informative, I would definitely book more tours with them. Very reliable company in Nicaragua!

5.00The experience was great from start to finish. Very easy to book the trip. The guide offers pick both ways and the company is very responsive via What's App. Ziplining was fun and easy, and we saw howler monkies along the way! When our tour ended a little early, I messaged the company the the driver was right there. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the fauna and flora of mombacho, and taught us a lot. Very nice. Had a great time overall and would highly recommend.

5.00We booked a hike in the Mombacho cloud forest by emailing Next Adventure Nicaragua. We loved it! When we started the hike, it was very cloudy with no views, but we were expecting that, and loved the eerie feeling. By the end it had cleared up revealing gorgeous views of the lakes and islands. The driver was outside our hotel at 8am ready to take us to the reserve. Great communication between the taxi driver, guides, and truck driver in the reserve. Could definitely get by with little spanish. Our guide was super knowledgable and passionate and added a lot to our hike. Easy payment online before the hike. We added zip lining on at the park last minute and paid that at the park. Totally recommend booking with next adventure - they take care of it all.
Such a great hike and ziplining experience!

The views were stunning even despite being covered with clouds, the forest is beautiful and lively and the guide was patient and nice. He was also very knowledgeable about nature and his country’s history. Highly recommend!

5.00My friend and I just went on a full day tour to Apoyo Lagoon Lookout, Masaya, and Mombacho Volcanoes with Julio Flores as our guide. Julio is probably the best tour guide I've ever had. He was early to pick us up, spoke perfect english, was extremely knowledgeable, answered every question we had, took us to an extra place we requested, knew where to find specific food and souvenirs, and most importantly was just so nice and fun to tour with which made this tour a great experience. This is also a well planned package that let's you see several amazing places in one day and is well coordinated with local parks and tour operators. I highly recommend this tour, and Julio as a guide for any tour in Nicaragua.
