Tour Itinerary

Our Costa Rica to Nicaragua guides will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the border and assist with every step of the crossing, which takes about 30 minutes. Native’s Way personell will ease your crossing and take care of all the passport paperwork and visa transactions. Afterward, we will start the day with a healthy breakfast.

Catarina Volcano Outlook Point:

Here you will enjoy an incredible view over the dormant volcano crater, Granada, and Lake Nicaragua. Walk around freely for a while before getting back in the bus and heading to the next stop.

Masaya Artisan Market:

Do some shopping for inexpensive souvenirs and experience the Nicaraguan life style before sitting down for a typical Nicaraguan lunch.

Masaya Volcano:

An active volcano where you will have the opportunity to stand right next to its crater and hear it rumbling and spewing of gases, which makes for a rare and incredible sight.

Next stop: Granada!

Granada is a Colonial-era town near Lake Nicaragua. Our Costa Rica to Nicaragua tour will stop at La Merced Church, which is considered one of the most beautiful buildings of Granada. It is flanked by a large tower that houses the church bells. You will ascend the stairs and reach the roof of the church. From here, you’ll have a panoramic city view of Granada, Mombacho Volcano, and Nicaragua Lake with the islets. This is the perfect place to take pictures of the beautiful city and the surroundings.

Lake Nicaragua:

Your last stop is a one hour boat ride in Lake Nicaragua viewing the Nicaraguan Islets around sunset. Your guide will stop by Monkey Island consisting only of monkeys that will come out and take food from your guide on the boat! You will then head back to Costa Rica, stopping on the way to pick up some snacks for the ride home.
