We werden op tijd opgehaald bij het hostel, en toen bij het kantoor van Volcano Day/ViaVia konden we gelijk een t shirt uit zoeken. We moesten even wachten, en vervolgens gingen we met een groep van 20 man naar de vulkaan toe. Daar kregen we een korte uitleg; konden we onze spullen in de auto laten, en kregen we een rugzak met overal, bril en handschoenen. Ook draag je je eigen bord omhoog. Het is best een pittige wandeling, steil en losse stenen, maar het is maar een korte hike. Ook stoppen ze regelmatig om even bij te komen, foto’s te maken en van het uitzicht te genieten. Helemaal boven krijg je nog wat uitleg over de verschillende vulkanen in de buurt en de Cerro Negro. Dan is het tijd voor het Vulcano boarden: we trekken onze overal aan, en krijgen een korte uitleg wat je wel en niet moet doen, en hoe je kan zorgen dat je snel of langzaam gaat. Dan ga je één voor één naar beneden. Halverwege staat nog iemand die een foto van je maakt. Ook tijdens de hike worden veel foto’s gemaakt, van de groep maar ook alleen. Beneden krijg je nog een stuk watermeloen, en dan ga je weer terug naar Leon, waar je nog een drankje krijgt bij ViaVia. Het is een leuke activiteit, je kan zelf helemaal bepalen of je snel of langzaam wil. Tour was goed georganiseerd, soms wel lang wachten, als je een grote groep hebt. Uitleg was duidelijk en de gids aardig.

Activité vraiment bien avec une vue magnifique et beaucoup de plaisir lors de la descente! Possibilité d’aller lentement ou rapidement selon la volonté.

Magnifique, a voir absolument si vous êtes de passage à Leon. Un peu difficile à trouver. Dépaysement total, paysage lunaire, visite possible uniquement avec un guide.

Once in a lifetime adventure. Cool, competent guides. Felt safe the whole time. There were backpackers, families with young kids and even an elderly man doing the volcano boarding so anyone can do this! I wished we could’ve gone faster. Overall, the guides (Sam and Kasha) were amazing!

Super fantastiske omgivelser og en unik sort vulkan, virkelig det værd at se MEN…
Vi var to piger afsted med Volcano Day og dermed en gruppe inkl. guides. Vi skulle nemlig vulkan-slide, som endte galt for os begge. Min veninde fik et kæmpe brandsår, der dækkede hele hendes underarm, og jeg blev indlagt på hospitalet i næsten 3 uger med skader i ryg og nakke. Det kan altså ende HELT galt, og vi fandt ud af, at vi var langt fra de første med uheld i bagagen, så PAS PÅ og tænk jer om. Man får ikke hjelm eller rygskjold, hvilket er ret uansvarligt, hvis man vil slide ned med fart, for pludselig får du for meget fart på og/eller kommer på vildspor, og det er ikke sjovt.
Turen frem og tilbage er omkring 40-45 min. og rimelig bumpet, så vær forberedt på lidt af hvert på denne tur og tænk jer en ekstra gang om, hvis I er det mindste i tvivl om at slide. Man kan også undgå at slide ned😉
Smukt men sikkerhedsforholdene er ikke på plads, så pas på.

We did our private tour with Franklin and Victor from Vamos Tours. See the website down below. They were amazing and we actually added on another 1/2 day tour after sandboarding. I would recommend them as they do a lot of different types of tours around Nicaragua. Franklin is very knowledgeable about the area and the history of Nicaragua. Victor is a great driver of his Toyota Land Cruiser and gets you everywhere safely.
A few comments on sandboarding: I booked late and as such was not able to get in touch with most tour groups for a next-day sandboarding adventure. Although very happy with our "private tour" of 2 of us (my wife and I) I would say that we paid about $30 US more per person than if you book ahead with a tour operator that does group tours (6-20 people). Take a look at some of the comments for sandboarding and see what people on larger tours are saying.
For the actual experience, the hike up Cerro Negro carrying a board is a relatively moderate effort. There are a few steep parts and the wind was howling at the top which we were told is quite rare. We are both in pretty good shape so it wasn't too much of a struggle. Just saying so that you know what you are getting into. Our guide offered to carry my wife's board so that she effectively didn't get blown off the mountain. Once at the top we parked the boards and hiked a bit longer so that we could look down into some other craters off to the sides. When we got back to the boards we changed into some coveralls, added gloves, and goggles and got ready to go. The guide does a bit of explaining and then runs down a couple of hundred feet with your camera so that they can take some video of you coming down.
Overall I was happy that we both did the tour BUT you don't go nearly as fast as you think that you should (or want to)(your weight plus the rocks coming over the top of your board slow you down significantly), it is over in a few minutes as opposed to the time it takes to hike up, and we could only do it once. Several friends have told us that you can do it as many times (usually 2) that you want in the time allotted. Not worth $60 for an hour of experience but definitely worth $30 for the chance to tell your friends that you tobogganed down a volcano I would say.

Very exciting, nice and talkative guide, and beautiful view! The hike was not to long, a bit steap, and the view was so worth it all.

Deux départ par jour, un le matin et un l'après midi. Partir le matin est un peu mieux car il fait moins chaud. La montée prend une petite heure, avec la planche à la main, sur un petit sentier. Une fois en haut on a le temps de profiter de la vue avec de descendre sur la luge. Si vous voulez des sensations à la descente, ne prenez pas !

I saw plenty of people going up and down with their kids -- maybe ages six or eight. They sat on the boards with their parents going down. I'd 100% recommend you pay the few bucks to have the local carry the kids' boards up the mountain (and you're own if you're not to confident). The boards weigh a few pounds and are annoying to carry -- more so when the wind kicks up.

Solo needing a group tour!
Hey, I’m so keen to do the volcano boarding but wondered if anyone knows of a group tour from Granada? I’m on my own and thought it will be no where near as fun (and a lot of tour companies don’t offer for solos) thanks in advance!

Hi:) My friend and I are travelling to Nicaragua, and we really want to try the sandboarding. However, I have never snowboarded before, and I get a little afraid of high speed. Will this tour be Ok for me ?

Sorry just seeing this question now but I guess it’ll be useful for others.
Yes you can slow with your feet when you go down.

Hey @ all, we'll visit Lèon the next days and of course Cerro Negro incl. Sandboarding is a "must have".
Is it somehow possible to go there without a guide? By Taxi to the BaseStation and rent a board / suite there? 30$ for a 4hs trip sounds a bit too much, since most of it must be for transfer etc. We don't need somebody who tells us the history during the 1h hike. But of course we also don't want to be there lost, alone and just to figure out that we can't rent a board/cloths.
Thanks in advance for your support...
