Underwhelming. You don’t really see all that much and only have about 10min with the crater. Pictures (even my own pictures) are way more impressive than the actual experience. You’ll spend ~1h in line waiting to go up for just 10min of average views. If you want a nice picture for social bragging: go ahead. If you want an actual nice experience: don’t. Finally, I booked and paid a premium for this to be a private pickup, but the company just picked me up with other people in the bus. So no idea why I paid that premium price. Felt tourist trappy.

Marlene (guide) and Manuel (driver) were awesome on my volcano tour. Marlene is super knowledgeable and very nice. They were on time and very professional throughout my experience, even adjusting around the schedule as the sun set a bit sooner than expected on my tour date. It’s always a joy to learn a bunch and I certainly did and had a great time. It should be noted magma is not currently visible but that doesn’t take away from a great experience
Highly recommended tour

Huascar was polite, thoughtful had a lovely manner and most importantly knew lots of history and information about the volcano that he shared with clarity. He answered all our questions. He had excellent English and a good sense of humour. Thanks for a great few hours.
A late volcano night tour with no visible lava activity and no sunset

The information about the execution of the tour was absolutely correct. We were picked up directly from our hotel at 16:00 by a small bus and driven to the collection point. There we were driven directly towards Masaya Volcano. After passing the entrance gate, we parked briefly at a cold lava field from the last eruption and were able to look directly at the lava there on site. Afterwards we continued to the fumaroles, where we briefly paused and could feel the hot steam. Afterwards we continued to the museum. The Fuhrer's remarks in the museum were very, very detailed. Meanwhile it was 5:15. at 5:45 pm we finally took the bus to the volcano. When we were finally up, of course, night had fallen and nothing of the surroundings and closer things could be seen. We had hoped for a nice sunset, just as the description was. The observation deck, which is very nicely laid out, did not allow a view into the lava, one could only see a dark, orange glow at 300 m depth. That's all it was. A night tour on the volcano with a view of the lava we had imagined totally different. A second time we would not book this night tour again. It's better if you go to the volcano yourself at your own time for five dollars admission per person. The friendliness of the official security guards is very positive. They told us a lot about the volcano themselves, which had nothing to do with the tour itself.
Amazing tour!

My trip was excellent. Since day 1 my tour guide and driver Manuel, welcomed me at the airport, and he designed a very interesting itinerary to see the highlights of Granada in just a couple of days. Loved the Masaya volcano tour at night, and the Laguna de Apoyo was so beautiful too. He is a certified tour guide, with tons of knowledge about Nicaragua, and he made my trip so memorable. I highly recommend his services in Nicaragua or Costa Rica since his agency operates in both countries. His prices are also great compared to other agencies in the area.
Awesome 😎

The place is Magic, this one on the shores of an active crater. In the museum we learned many things about volcanoes, the very professional guide, super safe. They also organized other personalized adventures for my family.. I want to go back to Nicaragua!!
The best tour!

It was an experience we'd never had before! Reaching the top of the volcano in the vehicle was unique! Reaching the crater and seeing the burning lava was the best. Thanks to our driver Manuel for taking us!
