Volcano Masaya - Great highlight in Nicaragua. - Whow, it was amazing to see the lava in an active volcano.
We did not see that before.
Our guides explained us a lot about volcanos and the country and gave us enough time to enjoy it. This private tour only for us was excellent. Muchos gracias to Mike and Gabriel.

Fun experience! - We took a 3hr tour from our hostel in Managua to see the Masaya volcano and also went to the Apoyo lagoon. The access to the main crater was closed but we hiked to a bay Volcano called El comalito. It was amazing and the trail called Coyote’s trail was interesting. Our guides were very informative and dynamic. I recommend them.

Masaya volcano at night - We went with Abdala tours. Calle Calzada
$20. Well worth the detour. It’s amazing and the guide was great. Small group.
Very knowledgeable. But make sure to go back during the day. It’s a totally different experience and well worth it.

🛑Don't Do It🛑 - Disappointing.
The provider neither responded to messages via TA nor was he reachable.
Not recommended!
By cab ($60) you can go to the viewpoint at the volcano, you just have to add the national park entrance fee ($10).

Money for nothing - We booked and paid the masaya volcano night tour from Granada. A few hours before the trip started we got the information that the tour was cancelled without any reasons.
There was no eruption of the volcano so it was definitely not cancelled for safety reasons. We will try to get back our money now. It would be smarter not to offer tours that cannot be transacting by the tour operators. Sven Hofmann from Germany.

Don’t use guide service. Go on your own. - Volcano is great. Definitely worth a trip. Guide is completely not necessary. There was no value added by having a guide. Also was a bit odd the guide asked for a ride about 25 minutes out of his way home as he took a bus to the Volcano and was told by his office we would drop him off.
