And some of the 365 islands. Big, pretty lake. Important resource for Nicaragua. I hope they don't build the canal. Go see it now in case they do. Worth it if you have the time.
We enjoyed seeing all the birds, houses, and of course the MONKEYS!!!!Our guide was so informative and helpful!!!
Erick tours arranged a 3+ hour boat tour around the islands. Very interesting and informative with a tour guide in the boat
Taking a little trip to explore the islets of Granada early in the morning is worth the trip. I saw different birds around and the view of the volcano was awesome. Our tour guide Giovanni made our trip pleasing as he took us to the little island where there were monkeys. I love monkeys and so I had the thrill to take pictures of them. The boat ride all together was just refreshing.
Definitely take a a boat ride into these islets for marvelous sights: feed the monkeys - be sure to bring some fruit with you! See some awesome houses as well as humble ones, the flora and fauna are stunning! I suggest the longer boat trip - worth it!
Our guide/ boat handler was excellent. This is really pretty area in Lake Nacaragua; without the trip, you would never guess it is here just by looking from the shore.
Created by an ancient explosion of Volcano Mombacho, the "365" islands and islets are delightful when seen by small boat. Filled with a wide variety of birds and even a few monkeys, one get's a sense of coastal jungle--on the edge of the very large Lago Nicoragua.
I had doubts about this after reading the reviews. but we loved it.Tony from our hotel Mansion De Chocolate set us up and went with us and all 6 of us thought it was a great tour
This was a part of our tour- did not really know what to expect but is was an informative panga ride to these small islets (and private homes!) including a Monkey Island visit where we enjoyed watching them. Our guide was informative and had a sense of humor. A nice asset and resource for Nicaragua!
We rented a local guide and his boat to take us for an abbreviated trip to Monkey Island where we enjoyed watching the monkeys, but we also saw other lovely islands, small and rocky (but with lush vegetation and homes), consistent with their volcanic origin. A lovely afternoon!
