Amazing - We had an incredibly great experience boarding Volcano with David! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, so we felt safe and in good hands all the time. The equipment was very good and well prepared so we could fully enjoy the adventure. David is not only super friendly but also incredibly competent. He told us many exciting things about Nicaragua, nature and the volcano. So we learned a lot in addition to the fun. The Volcano boarding itself was a really cool and unique experience and definitely a highlight of our trip. We particularly liked the fact that you can influence the speed of boarding yourself, depending on how brave you are 😄 Highly recommended. Thank you, David, for this unforgettable experience!

During the drive the guide explained allot of the environment and Vulcano! The walk and views where beautiful and the Vulcano boarding was exciting! We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend booking with nica nica tours!

Amazing tour! David made it unforgettable with his energy, knowledge, and attention to every detail. Highly recommend! - An unforgettable experience from start to finish. The entire tour was seamless, engaging, and packed with incredible moments, but what truly set it apart was David, our guide. His knowledge was exceptional, delivered with clarity, humor, and genuine passion. He kept the group energized while making sure everyone felt included and informed. Every stop felt purposeful, and David added context that brought each location to life. His attention to detail and ability to read the group elevated the entire experience. It never felt rushed or generic. This was more than a tour—it felt curated and intentional. Anyone considering this should go without hesitation, especially if David is leading.

Great time! - We had a great experience hiking the volcano! Our guide, David, was well spoken and well educated in the geology of the area. While not the cheapest endeavor at $260 for a family of 4, it was worth the private tour and we are very glad we had the experience!

Great experience!! - Our family took a private hike plus volcano boarding with Nica Nica tours while on vacation! It was an absolutely amazing experience! Our guide, David, provided so much education on the country, landscape, and volcanoes while on the drive and tour. He was very attentive to us and making sure we had everything we needed. His English was fantastic! David took many photos of us on the tour and I appreciated this tremendously - they were absolutely stunning! (We will be using one for our family Christmas card!!) The safety gear included everything we needed to be safe while hiking and boarding down. (Helmet, goggles, bandana, suit, gloves, board, and water). We did pay a gentleman $20 (US) to carry our boards and that was a great choice! David and driver (safe and professional), stopped at a fruit stand beforehand to buy some watermelon and bananas for us afterwards. We were beyond thankful for that! David picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Las Penitas. I would highly recommend this company and tour and would definitely do this again. Next time we will do the sunset hike!

Best experience ever!!! - Eduaro was an absolutely amazing guide! The best guide we’ve ever had a fabulous day and we’d recommend it to anyone. All costs were included and our guide even took my phone around with us to document the day for us meaning we could completely immerse ourselves in the experience. Small group sizes which we loved, looked like a much more personal experience than other groups at the volcano.
