We were picked up by the tour operator Mario and driven to a very secluded beach. At first we were a little skeptical driving out into the remote Country side but Mario assured us all was good and we were really amazed when we arrived at the Beach. The beach was beautiful, uncrowded, and clean. Mario took us to a little bar right on the beach where we found beach chairs, clean restrooms, free cold drinks a food. Great service was provided day all of the staff. The only minor thing I would recommend is a little better pick up location information and a sign or something for the operator to display when getting to shore. Mario was a wealth of information and made our beach experience a memorable day.

We wanted to experience as much as possible in the limited time we had in Nicaragua which is why we decided to book a tour with Vamos Travel Nicaragua. We wanted to see the country from a local’s perspective which is how we met Franklin, the owner of Vamos Travel Nicaragua Franklin does it all! From history, transportation, photography, and friend, it was so helpful to travel through Nicaragua with a local expert! Right away we knew we made the right decision.. It was a great feeling to have someone waiting for us at the Costa Rica / Nicaragua border. Vamos Travel Nicaragua crafts their tours to best experience the country's history, culture, and most importantly food. =) Our favorite experiences were volcano boarding, Masaya volcano and the León city tour. With more than 16 years of experience as a certified tour guide, Franklin is a walking encyclopedia of dates and did a great job of conveying the history and information in an engaging and interesting way! Vamos Travel Nicaragua is a master at customizing his tours to each of their customers. We told Franklin the things we wanted to see and he made sure that we were able to experience them. It was very helpful with our limited time to have his honest opinion on what was worth seeing and what we could skip. We really wish that we had time to explore the beautiful country of Nicaragua, but so thankful for our incredible experience with Vamos Travel Nicaragua!
