Description

Nicaragua is a beautiful country, owner of a very rich culture and a history full of proud and difficult memories. The journey starts very early in the morning to avoid lines at the border. On the other side there will be a stop in Rivas City to have breakfast. Then you will go visit the town of Masaya to see its active volcano for sunset to see the magma. It is one of the few volcanoes in the world where you can drive all the way to the top. Afterwards you go to Granada, an impressive Spanish colonial style city, which is situated between various volcanoes and the Nicaragua Lake. The city is known for its remarkable churches and colorful houses.

Would highly recommend for tourist

Our tour guide David and our driver Chico did an amazing job. We toured several towns and landmarks in Nicaragua. The tour was very informative. I was highly impressed by the Nicaraguan hospitality and culture.

Thank you Sandino for making this day trip a truly unforgettable one! Jordan, thank you for keeping us safe!

Unforgettable Day Trip to Nicaragua – Thanks to Sandino & Jordan! I booked the Nicaragua day tour through Nexus Tours in Guanacaste, and it was one of the best experiences of my trip! Gerry made booking easy and friendly, and the day itself was perfectly organized. Our guide, Sandino, was outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing Nicaragua’s history and culture. He handled the border crossings smoothly and kept us informed and entertained from start to finish. Our driver, Jordan, was calm, professional, and made the long drive feel effortless. The itinerary was fantastic — from the stunning views at Catarina, the awe-inspiring Masaya Volcano, and the colonial charm of Granada (including a lovely carriage ride), to visits at a chocolate factory, cigar shop, and a peaceful boat tour on Lake Nicaragua. Lunch was delicious and beautifully served in a charming courtyard setting. It was a long day, but every moment was filled with beauty, culture, and fun. I felt safe, cared for, and inspired throughout. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica who wants a rich cultural adventure in Nicaragua. Tip: Wear comfy clothes and shoes, bring a light jacket, and get ready for an unforgettable experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Thank you, Sandino and Jordan, for making Nicaragua truly unforgettable!

Fantastic tour!

Leo was an absolute pleasure to speak to and he had Miguel come pick us up at our hotel, right on time. He and his driver were so nice and knowledgeable and we enjoyed every single second of our experience and I definitely think we saw so much more then we would have had on our own. 100% would book another experience with them and 100% recommend them!

Rescheduled then cancelled

Asked me to change dates, which I did, then cancelled the night before - at 7 pm when i reached out. No regard to whether I could book another trip. Am sure it’s part of the business but I wouldn’t count on him.

Operator response

We called you with no answer also we can not go to Nicaragua with one person it cost to much money to go to another country. My apologizies.

See inside the real Nicaragua

It is a long day with a lot of travelling but well worth it. You visit the real Nicaragua rather than just the tourist spots . From volcanoes & viewpoints to lakes and old towns you see a lot in one day! Our guide Keke was brilliant

Book this tour!

A great way to experience a country in a day, while seeing a lot and not feeling rushed! The Volcano in Masaya was by far my favorite, around sunset you get to experience the lava flow! Lastly, I recommend taking the tour closer to Liberia upon arrival, as it is closer to the Nicaraguan border.
