Amazing day tour! The top highlight from my Nicaragua trip! - Sandboarding down the volcano is what really got me interested in this day tour from Managua and it did not disappoint. My day tour started when my driver, Anthony, picked me up from my hotel in Managua at 9:30 am. We drove about an hour and a half out towards the city of Leon with one scenic stop along the way. We spent about 2 hours exploring in Leon before Anthony introduced me to one of the other guides, Gustavo, who was going to take me to the Cerro Negro Volcano for the hike and Sandboarding. I joined up with two other tourists who booked the Sandboarding tour as well so in total there were 4 of us on the volcano part of the tour which was fine, all of us together made for an awesome crew. The hike up to the descent point took us about 1 hour and the actual Sandboarding down the volcano was a blast! Definitely the top highlight from my entire trip! After the tour I met up with Anthony again in Leon around 7:30 pm and he got me back to Managua by 9 pm. A big thank you to my guides on this entire tour - Anthony, Gustavo, and also our driver who took us from Leon to the Cerro Negro Volcano, they all did a great job making sure I enjoyed this tour to the fullest. I would definitely do this tour again, especially the Sandboarding part which will hopefully be soon. When you’re in Managua definitely consider booking this day tour, you won’t regret it. You’ll have a great time! - Nolan

Cerro Negro Valcano - I had an amazing time on the private tour! We got to explore at our own pace, and the guides were not only super knowledgeable but also fun and easy to chat with. They shared so many interesting insights along the way. If you go, be sure to ask for Anthony—he’s the best!

Fantastic day! - Such an amazing experience! Anthony was a friendly and wonderful guide who shared so much information about Leon and Nicaragua. The volcano boarding was a highlight and Eduardo was super knowledgeable about the volcano! 10/10 day!

A Full Day of Nicaragua - We had a great day with our guide David from NicaParadiseTours and the Vulcano boarding crew. Keep in mind that this tour from Managua means a lot of driving. But David was very talkative and had a lot of great stories to tell. The part in Léon is not very special I'd say, don't expect a grande history tour. It's interesting to see how people live there and we just went into the crowds and soaked that all up. The drive and the hike up to the Vulcano was super exciting and fun with an amazing view (we even had a thunderstorm in the background which was scary but exciting). The Sandboarding was a little disappointing though, just because I could not get it going very fast. I think we just had a bad line where the sand was too deep. A shame but still an exciting experience. So don't be scared, just go as fast as you can and dial it down if needed.

Excellent Guides and Tour - This experience was awesome! The driver to and from Leon was awesome and friendly. I met up with another group for the sand boarding portion. The guide and driver were both phenomenal, making sure everyone was doing well on the hike, given the heat and humidity. My driver was very gracious in allowing me some extra time to go into the cathedral in Leon, and explore the area. This is a must do in Managua!

Local Tour with NicaParsdise, (Sandboarding, beach, food) - Amazing experience. Anthony from NicaParadise went above and beyond to ensure the trip was amazing. They'll work with you to accomodate any need and give you some local tips to deliver a great time. Highly recommend.

Incredible private tour of Leon, Cerro Negro [+Sandboarding] from Managua - We booked our trip with Nicaragua Paradise, and it absolutely made our trip. It was one of the final days of our stay in Nicaragua, and we felt like we learned more about the country on that single tour than the reset of the trip combined. Would highly recommend them & this particular adventure to anyone looking to make a lifetime memory. Anthony and Lester were excellent guides. Though we opted for the tour in Spanish, they also offer English.
