We thoroughly enjoyed our... - We thoroughly enjoyed our time, and all the tour guides were amazing. They made sure to stop so we could take great photos and rest when needed, which we really appreciated. It was definitely a challenging hike, but making it to the top was so worth it! If you’re afraid of heights, the drop right before the descent can feel a bit intimidating—but it’s quick and ends up being really fun. Overall, we had an incredible time and truly enjoyed the whole experience.

Expectations Exceeded. Volcano surfing a bucket list item! - Expectations Surpassed. First time in Nicaragua. Had no plans and booked this tour last minute. It was available. Best decision I made. Worth every dollar and not expensive when you factor it took us 10 hours to complete itinerary. More to come. Started with hotel pickup. Tour guide at first was Gilbert who took us to Leon where we had a great tour of UNESCO site. The Catedral is 2nd largest in the Americas. First in central America. Amazing photo opportunities up top. $5USD entrance per person. Do not miss. To a walk around the plaza and then hit the local market. Really clean and I bought Mangoes lol. Had lunch in local restaurant right off the plaza. I had the fried tacos with beef and it was great! Next we met Gustavo who took us with a driver to Cerro Negro (black volcano). This is the highlight. A fair warning: it is about an hour hike up a rock pathway. Please do yourself a favor and pace yourself and rest unless you are in great physical shape. I'm not in the best so took 1.5 hours. Please pay the $5 per board for them to carry it up for you. They weigh 5 kgs or 11 lbs. Carrying up an incline for over an hour is nuts! The sand boarding is a highlight. On the way done be careful as you can flip over. Many do since they lose control. This is a Low to Medium Extreme Sport and they warn you about that before you go in. You sign a waiver that no one is responsible and you are in good enough health to do it. All in all magnificent day! Thank you Nica tours and all the team who made it happen. I hope to be back in Nicaragua 🇳🇮

Sliding Cerró Negro Awesomeness - This experience was exceptional from beginning to end. Our driver Anthony gave us the local tour, he was friendly and knowledgeable about his culture. We explored the town of Leon and its history. Then we gathered with Junior and Martin who took us on an adventure of a lifetime at Cerro Negro. They were so friendly and eager to tell us about the history of the town and the volcanoes nearby. We always felt safe and provided clear guidance and instructions. Cerro Negro is a beautiful place and highly recommended.

Great tour - Above and beyond, we came for only two days to Nicaragua, and the main reason was to sandboard in Cerro Negro. Im so happy we chose this company, our guide Anthony is the most amazing person! All of them are. I can’t recommend this experience enough.

Volcano Sledding Adventure! - The tour was amazing! I had so much fun! Anthony was very informative, friendly and helpful when I had any questions! Jr. was also very helpful and fun during the sledding part of the trip! Everyone I was in contact with from booking all the way to the end of my adventure was very communicative and friendly! The hike up the volcano wasn’t super difficult but walking uphill in any aspect can be strenuous so make sure you eat breakfast and drink enough water! I am so happy with my experience! Thank you!
