The Mombacho Volcano is one of the most famous volcanoes in Nicaragua due to several factors: its location just 10 km from the Granada city, its access infrastructure and, above all things, the mystical cloud forest that occupies much of its sides and top.

The ride uphill only is an adventure by itself, the incredible steepness of the volcano guarantees a spectacular ride. You will see coffee plantations and later on the cloud forest next to the single lane road. The views are also spectacular from here.

My daughter and I enjoyed The tour our guide picked us up at our hotel in Granada. The drive was pleasant to the reserve and drop off point. Our guide was friendly and the hike up was just the amount of time for the experience.I found the climate change one of the most interesting parts along with the plants.

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.
A must do and seen tour

I went on a halfday tour to the nearby volcano Mombacho. Everything was perfect, starting from the initial communication, to transport and the guiding itself. Leonel is a very knowleadgable, enthusiastic and communicative guide. His english is excellent and even though I didn’t see many animals that day, he gave me lots of insights about the surroundings and history. The view was fantastic, the diversity of the cloud forest was just beautiful. I would definitely book a tour with Leonel an his team again!
