Private Day Tour: Discover Masaya & Granada Like a Local

Description
This is not just a tour—it’s a true immersion into Nicaragua’s history, flavors, and culture. Your private guide welcomes you the moment you step into your air-conditioned vehicle, setting the tone with stories that are equal parts history and humor.
In Granada, you’ll wander cobblestone streets, marvel at its iconic cathedral, and even climb the bell tower for panoramic views of the colonial city. You’ll explore the Isletas of Lake Nicaragua by boat, spotting lush islets, playful monkeys, and hidden fortresses. Lunch is served with a view over Lake Cocibolca and the Mombacho Volcano.
Later, you’ll shop for hand-crafted treasures at Masaya’s bustling artisan market before soaking in breathtaking views from Catarina’s famous lookout. And to finish, the grand finale—Masaya Volcano. Peering into the glowing crater, you’ll feel the raw power of nature up close, an experience that lingers long after the tour ends.
Every step is guided with warmth, energy, and care, ensuring you don’t just see Nicaragua—you live it.
