️ Granada City Tour and Islets Boat Ride

Granada Nicaragua, one of the oldest colonial cities in the Americas, just celebrated its 500th anniversary. As the oldest city on the mainland that remains in its original location, it holds centuries of stories etched into its colorful facades and cobblestone streets. Join us on this Granada City Tour which is a cultural journey through time as we explore the historical treasures that have shaped Granada into the crown jewel of Nicaraguan heritage.

Your day begins with a guided walk through the city’s most iconic landmarks, accompanied by a certified bilingual guide who will bring Granada’s history to life. Wander through centuries-old churches, admire colonial mansions, and learn about the resilience of a city that has survived invasions, fires, and revolutions. The tour also includes a visit to the Old Hospital, a relic from a bygone era, and the Granada Cemetery, one of the oldest and most fascinating in Central America. Our last stop is the Central Plaza, where you’ll enjoy views of the Granada Cathedral, bustling markets, and the lively energy of local life. A Granada City Tour has it all!

Islets of Granada Boat Ride

But the journey doesn’t end there. After exploring the city, we’ll head toward the shores of Lake Nicaragua, the largest freshwater lake in Central America. Here begins the second half of your adventure: a relaxing private boat tour through the stunning Isletas of Granada.

This archipelago of more than 360 small islands was created over 20,000 years ago by a massive eruption of the nearby Mombacho Volcano. Today, the islets are rich in biodiversity and home to tropical birds, monkeys, and lush vegetation. As we navigate through this natural maze, you’ll pass both humble lakeside homes and extravagant private island mansions. Our boat is fully covered, comfortable, and ideal for both couples and families. You’ll glide gently past tiny fishing villages, observe local life on the water, and enjoy breathtaking views of Mombacho and the lake’s vast horizon.

The tour is flexible to suit your pace and interests. You can choose to do the boat ride at sunrise, when the lake is calm and the wildlife is most active, or at sunset, when the skies glow in golden hues and the water reflects the fading light. Just let us know your preferred time when booking. Want to stop at a local island restaurant for a cold beer or a traditional snack? We’ll make it happen. This is your tour—intimate, personalized, and memorable.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply someone seeking a unique experience in Nicaragua, this Granada combo tour offers the perfect blend of cultural depth and natural beauty. You’ll walk the past and float through paradise—all in one unforgettable day.
