️ Ometepe Full Day Tour from Granada
If there’s one place in Nicaragua where nature, culture, and tranquility come together in perfect harmony, it’s Ometepe Island. Formed by two majestic volcanoes—Concepción and Maderas—this island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua offers an unforgettable escape into raw, unspoiled beauty. Our Ometepe Full Day Tour from Granada gives you a taste of island life in just one day, with thoughtfully selected stops, a delicious local breakfast and lunch, and a relaxing afternoon in the island’s most famous natural pool.
This full-day tour begins early in the morning as we leave Granada and head to the port of San Jorge in Rivas. From here, we board the ferry to Ometepe, a one-hour ride that offers sweeping views of the lake and volcanoes. Upon arrival at Moyogalpa, the island’s main town, we’ll stop for a traditional Nicaraguan breakfast at a local comedor—a perfect way to energize for the day ahead.
Explore Ometepe’s Iconic Beaches and Viewpoints
After breakfast, the adventure begins with a scenic drive to Punta Jesús María, one of Ometepe’s most photographed spots. This narrow strip of sand extends dramatically into the lake, offering panoramic views of both volcanoes and a chance to walk “on water” when the sandbar is exposed. It’s a peaceful location to take photos, breathe in the fresh island air, and watch fishermen casting their nets as they’ve done for generations.
Next, we visit Santo Domingo Beach, a long stretch of white sand and shallow turquoise water nestled between the two volcanoes. Known for its calm waves and tropical backdrop, this beach is ideal for a short walk, quick swim, or simply relaxing under the shade of a palm tree. Then we continue to Playa Perú, a lesser-known but equally stunning beach that offers tranquility away from the crowds. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy the quiet side of Ometepe and dip your feet in the clear, warm waters of the lake.
A Day Trip to Ometepe Island is a Day to Remember
Before heading to our final destination, we enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll sample fresh island ingredients, tropical fruits, and a refreshing drink. This meal is included in the tour and served in a laid-back setting surrounded by the natural beauty of the island.
After lunch, we visit Ojo de Agua, a beloved stop for locals and visitors alike. This natural spring is fed by underground volcanic water and surrounded by lush forest. The crystal-clear pool is ideal for swimming, floating, or simply relaxing on a hammock with a coconut in hand. We’ll spend approximately three hours here, giving you plenty of time to unwind in nature. The mineral-rich water is said to have rejuvenating properties, and the peaceful ambiance of the surrounding area makes it a highlight of the entire day.
Granada to Ometepe Excursion is a must!
As the afternoon ends, we begin our journey back to Granada, boarding the ferry once more with hearts full of memories and cameras full of photos. The Ometepe Full Day Tour is a beautifully paced mix of scenic spots, delicious food, and the kind of natural beauty that can only be found on a volcanic island in the heart of a lake.
This tour is ideal for travelers of all ages who want to explore Ometepe in a single day without feeling rushed. It’s a balanced itinerary that offers adventure, relaxation, and cultural insight all in one unforgettable experience.
