Posted on Tripadvisor Journey35905530651Verified Was amazing and wonderful activity really appreciated Franklin Experience very gooooood with amazing timePosted on Tripadvisor Alicia SVerified Great experience of Léon It was a great walk with very interesting facts and stories about León. Our guide transitioned flawlessly from the Spanish conquest to the revolution, and discussed the customs and habits of this town. Without that, it would have been difficult to understand why León is the way it is.Posted on Tripadvisor jvhendVerified Excellent experience, professional operator! Loved this experience! We booked directly with the team at Vamos Travel (which was super easy and best value) and organized for a 7am departure to beat the heat. We had the volcano to ourselves! The hike wasn't super strenuous at all, and while the volcano slope looked steep from the top, I was pleasantly surprised how much control I had over the speed with my feet as brakes. The team we went with (Maria as our guide, plus a driver and a board-carrier) were all super professional and friendly. Highly, highly recommend!Posted on Tripadvisor Anton AVerified Amazing! We arrived to León the night before this tour and in the morning we realised we had lost a pair of shoes on the shuttle to León. When the guides arrived to the hostel to pick us up they where very helpful and drove us to a store where we could buy a new pair of shoes before going to the volcano. The hike up the volcano and the view was great. Our guide explained a lot about the volcano and the surrounding area and when it was time to board down the volcano everything felt very safe and was a lot of fun! Amazing experience with the best tour guides you could ask for, definitely recommend it!Posted on Tripadvisor AhmetK8891Verified C'était super ! Excellente activité au Nicaragua, la vue est magistrale une fois là haut ! Miguel est super sympa et il nous a appris beaucoup de choses. On a été pris en voiture climatisé à l'adresse qu'on a donné et déposé à la même adresse. N'oubliez pas vos bandanas pour couvrir votre visage durant cette décente épique.Posted on Tripadvisor Deanne NVerified Best experience!! Franklin made the whole experience so fun and comfortable, everything felt really safe and we were provided with all the equipment and clothing for the activity. The photos and videos provided are so professional and really made part of the experience. A must if you’re visiting León, we all had the best time.Posted on Tripadvisor A TVerified Glad I did it I went back on forth on whether to do this before my trip after reading some mixed reviews here. In the end, I’m really glad I did it. Yes, it’s a little bit touristy — but with good reason. The views were beautiful, in many ways the hike up was even more fun than the slide down. It seems like risk of injury is pretty minimal as long as you’re responsible with your speed.Posted on Tripadvisor Enyel JVerified Maravillas de Nicaragua El guia Miguel y el conductor fueron muy amables en todo momento, lo recomiendo 100% , una linda caminata con vistas increíblesPosted on Tripadvisor Danna KVerified A must do! windy but good hike up to crater. guide was awesome, took pics and videos of us going up and boarding down keep mouth shut going down so you don't end up with a mouth of grit when you get to the bottom!Posted on Tripadvisor jessicamcnVerified Best volcano boarding experience Had the best time volcano boarding with Vamos Travel. Franklin was professional, knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about his job and country. It was great to be able to hike the volcano and see the spectacular views. All the equipment was provided (thankfully we didn’t have to carry the boards) and Franklin took the best videos. Highly recommend!
