An amazing, must do experience if you are in Lèon. Actually worth a visit to Lèon only for this experience. The guide Franklin was amazing, bringing music and making it all fun. The hike was beautiful by itself, only lasted 45 minutes. We started off as the first group, and wasn’t bothered by bigger groups going after us. The sandboarding was so much fun and would do it again and again. Private vehicle with aircon was also a plus. Top experience, highly recommended going with Franklin who also shared great pictures and videos after!
Sledging down a volcano was one of the most exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had. I was genuinely nervous before starting and wasn’t sure if I’d go through with it, but once I set off, the excitement completely took over. The combination of speed, incredible scenery, and the unique thrill of descending an active volcano made it unforgettable. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an adventure!
Miguel was the best tour guide we have ever had! So kind, passionate about Nicaragua and has excellent English. The volcano boarding was such a fun experience - definitely once in a lifetime. You can go as slow or as fast as you like. The private tour made the trip for us, we asked loads of questions and Miguel had all the answers. The driver was an excellent wildlife spotter on the drive to the volcano, not to mention the 4x4 had aircon.
Thank you for sharing your 'once in a lifetime' experience! We are immensely proud of Miguel for sharing his passion for Nicaragua and answering all your questions. We're so glad you enjoyed the volcano boarding, the wildlife spotting, and the comfortable ride. Thank you for booking your adventure with us!

SO AWESOME! Don’t miss it! Franklin is so kind and cares so much. Such a unique experience. Just make sure you don’t forget how to stop like I did :)
Thank you so much for the awesome review! I’m glad you enjoyed the experience and felt well-supported throughout the tour. It was a pleasure sharing such a unique adventure with you—and don't worry, the 'braking' part is always the most memorable lesson! Lol Hope to see you back for more soon.
This was an excellent outing. The tour guide was the most knowledgeable person I have ever encountered on a trip. The vehicle was perfect, the treatment was spectacular. I can't recommend them enough. The trio down the volcano was exciting and unforgettable. Altogether, excellent.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are really glad to hear that your volcano boarding experience was both exciting and unforgettable. It means a lot to us that you appreciated the guide's knowledge, the comfortable vehicle, and our overall service. We truly value your high recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Nicaragua soon.
Miguel was an incredible guide! He totally made the trip for us. He was accommodating and kind, and my 19-year-old son and I had a blast! Our driver Darwin was also perfect! They showed us wildlife and explained the area on our way to the epic adventure of boarding down the volcano. There were also only three other hikers on the volcano the entire time we were there!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your son had such an epic time with us. I will definitely pass your kind words along to Miguel and Darwin! They are incredibly passionate about what they do, and they always love sharing the local wildlife and history with our guests before the big hike. It’s also amazing that you got to experience Cerro Negro with almost no one else around—that definitely makes the adventure even more special! Thank you for choosing Vamos Travel Nicaragua. We hope you both took home some unforgettable memories!
This was a blast. Miguel was a great tour guide. Miguel picked us up in town and drove us to the volcano. He was very knowable about the local wildlife and stopped to point out birds/fruits/plants/etc. He walked us up the volcano, took pictures of me and my wife, and showed us how to board down the Volcano, and took pictures and videos of us doing so. A 10/10 experience. My wife and I underestimated the volcano climb. The sign at the bottom says low to medium difficulty, but I would say that's only the case if you're in shape. If you're out of shape and/or overweight, this might be a tough climb.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience! I'm really glad to hear that you and your wife had a blast. Miguel is fantastic when it comes to spotting local wildlife and making sure you get those perfect action shots, so I'll be sure to pass your kind words along to him! I also really appreciate your honest feedback about the hike. You are completely right—Cerro Negro is no joke, and the climb can definitely catch people off guard depending on their fitness level and the heat. Honest tips like yours are incredibly helpful for future guests to know exactly what to expect. Thank you again for choosing Vamos Travel Nicaragua for your adventure. We hope those pictures and videos bring back great memories of the trip!
