      Private Tour around Leon
      Private Tour We stumbled upon Fun N Sun while walking around Leon, and what a delightful discovery it was! Guillermo, our guide, is truly a fantastic person. He made our trip enjoyable by tailoring it to our interests every step of the way. His extensive knowledge of the area is impressive; he knows all the best spots to visit. In addition to being an amazing guide, Guillermo is also a master cook! We were treated to some delicious culinary experiences that highlighted the local flavors. We are incredibly grateful for the time he spent with us, as well as the insights and stories he shared from his experiences. If you find yourself in Leon, don’t miss the chance to connect with Guillermo and Fun N Sun! Highly recommended!

      IN LEON only book with this agency. Trust me and my mistakes
      We were 5 Taiwanese Russian Belgian Serbian and Canadian. All fit. And we did Momotombo 5 hours. It was not easy but it was one of the best experiences ever. The guide was great and we had great breakfast , also cooked for us lunch after hike while we swam in the lake. This is totally worth money. I unfortunately did other tours with other company they were not as good as these guys. I give 5 stars its truly the only good company in leon

      Don’t miss out on Momotombo!
      We had an amazing time on our Volcán Momotombo hike. We have had experiences in the past with other tour outfits where we had to move at other people’s pace and were pleased that we were able to do this tour with just us and our guide for a very reasonable price. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and made sure our experience was one we would never forget. We love to hike at a good pace and are adventure seekers.. so our guide made sure to bring us as close to the top as he could as well as literally run down the volcano on the way back. We couldn’t have been happier with our day. Ps.. We also managed to see an anteater. Coolest day ever.

      Bike touring in Nicaragua
      We decided to come to Nicaragua and spend some days for bike touring. Surfing on internet we ended up with this organization and we were very positively surprised! We wanted to start in Leon and finish in Granada and we asked to pedal for around 50 km per day. Then they organized everything including accommodations (in some cases very much basic and in others really nice as in Catarina). Exceptional support by Guillermo, not only for guiding us through the roads but also for all info on Nicaragua, and David who kept the bikes in splendid order and always clean at the start of each single day!!!!! We have also some suggestions in order to please future European visitors like us who like to spend the days trying to live the country we are pedaling in!

      Easy booking and great guides
      I did the San Cristobal hike. Wilmer was very positive and passionate about hiking. They pick you up and drop you off directly at your hostel. You have a nice lunch in a place that supports the local community. They were really friendly and easy to book with. I definitely recommend booking with them.

      Reliable
      We went hiking on Maderas, Ometepe. The guide was experienced, knowledgable and fun. As for the hike itself it was challenging due to slippery mud and high humidity. We were lucky with the clouds dissolving when we reached the top.

      Amazing cerro negro and Talica vulcanos tour!
      We can definitely recommend Fun 'N' Sun travels! They really give their best to provide their customers the best experience and even offer customised tours. The company values on quality and this its what makes it special compared to other agencies providing the tours in quantity. We did a private (two girls) cerro negro an Talica vulcanos tour, including camping and we had an amazing time. I faced a food poisoning the day we were supposed to start and it was no problem to reschedule. Also during the tour, the guides helped me a lot as I still didn't feel well and missed energy. The guides were very funny and offered a super safe and exciting experience. We enjoyed very nice views, a real camping experience, interesting stories and cultural insights, lots of laughter, a beautiful sunset and sunrise, good food and nice hikes. Price - quality was great. Thanks for this really amazing experience!

      Do it!
      We were so happy we booked this combo! Volcano boarding was a classic Nica tourist experience - quite busy and overhyped, but beautiful scenery and still fun. Our favourite was definitely the rest of the hike. It’s hot but not too strenuous and offers very rewarding scenery of the surrounding volcanos. The pictures online truly don’t do it justice! If you’ve done Acatenango in Guatemala, think of this hike like a baby sibling in terms of difficulty and volcano viewing. Our guide, Wilmer, was so kind, funny, and knowledgeable, and his love for hiking was contagious! Make sure you bring a large pack and perhaps some clips, as you will be carrying lots of water, your sleeping bag, some mats, and a tent (we only travel with very small packs so this made it tough). Bugs weren’t bad but it can get very windy up top, and slightly chilly at night (windbreaker recommended). Camping was peaceful however we were awoken in the night by a herd of 20+ horses chilling beside us. Apparently sometimes it’s cows instead. If you like hiking and you’re in Leon, please, budget the time for this overnight experience!

      Horseback riding
      Memo and Jose were the best tour guides. We had the best experience horse back riding through the Pueblo and taking in the amazing views. Lastly, they took us to a lake and it was beautiful and peaceful and then they prepared a delicious meal for us. 10/10 recommend!!!

      Great experience, amazing guide!
      We did the horseback riding tour which included a car ride to the horses where Meme (our guide) told us stories of nicaragua and its history. Next, we got on the horses and rode through the pueblos until we got to a beautiful hiking trail that led to a perfect, isolated, beautiful lake where Meme cooked up delicious burritos before dropping us right back at our hotel! He was great and accommodating and I highly recommend any of his trips!

      Private tour to beautiful Laguna de Asososca
      In mid November 2024 we went on what ended up being a private tour (just my partner and I) with tour guide Guillermo to the pristine and beautiful Laguna de Asososca. Guillermo was articulate and knowledgeable, as a local from this area, perfect English, and great stories. We spent most of our time at the laguna alone, which made it even more special. Beautiful laguna, good food, great guide, and the walk in and out isn't too bad, loose gravel and dirt, quite steep, but only for about 20 minutes. I highly recommend Fun N Sun Travels and especially Guillermo - muchas gracias amigo!

      VOLCÁN COSICÜINA
      What more can we say about Guillermo @ Fun N Sun Travels in Nicaragua 🇳🇮. My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to have a personalized tour of Volcun Cosiguina, in mid October. Guillermo, who was alert to some of our physical limitations, not being able to hike to the Volcano’s rim at fast pace, stopped intermittently upon the trail, where he always seemed consciously aware of when we needed a break. Each time in doing so though, he would give us an in depth explanation of the local ecology, geology, biology and historical background of the surrounding area, and of the country, until we were ready to proceed again. Just being the three of us, we were given ample time to appreciate the stunning views, and topography, of the 🌋 volcano, once we “summited”. We have been on tours in America and Europe, and we can say with assurance, that Guillermo gave us one of the best informative tours we have ever been on; that along with his humor, his interest within our lives back in the states, and him relating that with his own personal family stories along the route, we felt right at home, and special, the entire time. Afterwards he took us to Cabañas Vistas del Pacifico - Hostel, for fresh fish, in the quaint beach town of Jiquilillo. We would recommend this operation to anyone seeking adventure; five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ across the board. 😃

      Amazing experience!
      We did the 2 day Epic Camping Tour and the 1 day Telica Volcano Hike. Angel was our guide for both and he was awesome! He taught us about the different plants we saw and we got to try different fruits. We also learned about the local communities and culture. The scenery is amazing but having Angel as our guide really made the experience for us. We had the best time! We also booked a ride from the airport to Leon. It was so easy and convenient to book everything via whatsapp. Thank you to the whole Fun n Sun travels team - Luis, Lesther, Guillermo and Angel. Highly recommend and I would definitely book again!

    We were looking to ascend, on foot, then descend, in sledging, the volcano Cerro N., an essential activity of the León region. But we also wanted to avoid groups and enjoy this magnificent hike without too many people or waiting. What Fun ‘N’ Sun Travels offered was perfect!

    For $45 per person (we were 3), we were able to leave León at 8am (most tours start at 9am) and have the volcano just for us. A superb hike of 45 minutes to 1 hour on one of the most active volcanoes in Central America: from the top we could see the first buses coming, we were absolutely alone on the whole experience and the organization was perfect.

    When many reviews talk about long wait times in this activity depending on the number of people descending the volcano, we were able to enjoy every moment and this beautiful natural place. Thanks to Jeyseli for her organization, her good humor and for being a great guide throughout the adventure.

    After the trip, we continued to use Jeyseli and Fun ‘N’ Sun Travels, even outside the region. For transfers (between León and Granada, between Ometepe and Managua) and advice on other places in the country. Every time, everything went perfectly: congratulations to Jeyseli and the team for perfect communication and flawless organization.

    If you wish to have the volcano to yourself, I can recommend Fun ‘N’ Sun Travels, a local and extremely professional company. They offer other tours in the area, we look forward to testing them!

    Fun N Sun travels truly have the best guides! They were so kind and sweet, and we enjoyed the tour a lot. We booked 3 different tours with them: 1) Somoto canyon 2) volcano boarding 3) Momotombo hike, and all three tours were so nice!! We would really recommend this company! They have fair prices compared to others, and they are very helpful and easy to contact on WhatsApp.

    The experience was amazing! Since I went alone, I got a private tour and I learn a lot from my tour guide. I wish you have the option to pay for only one, the minimum is 3 and I ended up paying for 3 people. Still worth it, but wish I could have saved money.

    This was an amazing tour, My kids enjoyed it.
    The walk was doable, My mother of 64 and son of 7 did it! You can too!
    Our guide Memo was excellent, made us feel safe, very professional, local guide with knowledge, education, and passion for what he does. The boarding part was so fast that it makes you want to do it again. I recomend you doing this in the morning to avoid crowd and the heat of the sun. Nature is unpredictable, some of usdidn't surf down as fast fast as we expected, the board got stuck multiple times. It was still exiting, beautiful views and great service from Fun and Sun travels.

    We booked a second volcano the same day, we went to Telica. Booked the camping option to see the sunset and sunrise. Unfortunately mother nature had other plans and it was very cloudy, foggy, we couldn't see neither.
    Even with all that guide, Luis made sure we were ok. We went back to the crater at night and we're able to hear the volcano and see the lava even with all the fog.
    The whole experience was great and our kids enjoyed the whole thing. Luis was great as well. Very good with kids. Our driver Cristobal was very accommodating and both of them made us feel safe and make sure we made the most of it. Dinner was brought to us my a local family, then we walked down to their house where they were serving a delicious breakfast.
    Everything was taken care of my Fun and Sun travels.
    We didn't have to worry about anything!
    We will come back!
    Memo makes sure he works with great people, thank you!

    We had an amazing time Volcano boarding down Cerro Negro with FunNSun Travels. The guides spoke great English and were very knowledgeable about the area. We were a little hesitant about the speeds we'd experience going down the volcano but our guide did a great job explaining the instructions and what to expect. Overall we had an incredible experience and would recommend the tour to anyone. One more thing I'll mention is that the tour company is 100% local which is always a priority for us when making a booking. We noticed right away that the company had a nice, cozy feel and prioritized our needs and concerns. It was an awesome day!

    We had the best time on our tour, including volcano boarding, sunrise and sunset hike on telica and camping in a crater.
    We also had lunch and breakfast with locals and they also brought us a freshly cooked dinner to the campsite. Due to perfect weather conditions, we also had the chance to walk up to the crater at around 8pm to see the magma. Absolutely surreal experience.
    And of course Guillermo was the best guide we could have, and he’s also speaking really good English. We recommend this tour to everyone, who loves nature and adventures!

    We had an amazing time doing volcano boarding! The entire tour was well-organized, and our guide was incredibly friendly and charismatic. Hiking up Cerro Negro in the morning was such an exciting experience, and the views were breathtaking. Sliding down the volcano was pure adrenaline and so much fun. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique adventure!

    We did the volcano boarding + hiking overnight trip. For the volcano boarding we had all the protective gear which was very comforting, and Sergio was very good at making sure the experience was fun and safe!

    The hike was beautiful. Sergio was great at going the right pace, and making sure we didn’t wear out too quickly. He also was great at giving accurate estimates for how long and how difficult each section would be. The views from the top were amazing. There was a thunderstorm while we were on the top of the mountain which was a bit frightening, but we had a nice north face tent that kept us dry during the downpour.

    The lagoon at the end was particularly incredible. We were there alone, and it had absolutely breathtaking views.

    Also, the communication with management was extremely prompt, kind, and accommodating.

    The one area that was lacking was the food was not quite enough. For dinner we had tortillas with cucumber and tomato, and for breakfast we had tortillas with avocado and beans (leftovers from the other tour group’s dinner). We were just a bit hungry after all that hiking!

    Overall though would highly recommend this tour. Was safe, fun, and beautiful!

    Hello, thank you for sharing your experience, I'm glad you enjoyed the hike. Regarding food; we did check with your guide, you just forgot the eggs for breakfast and the beans were in a sealed bag he said. Normally we cook at camp but this time with dinner was not possible. Best wishes!

    Guillermo at Fun N Sun Travels took great care of us throughout our tour of the beautiful Volcanos Cerro Negro, Momotombo and surroundins. His extended expertise and passion for these volcanos made us feel safe and eager to go on more adventures with him! We laugh and ate some great food he personally cooked for us (it was delicious!!). Guillermo with his bigger than life charisma, incredible stories, and contagious laughter is a friend I'll never forget!
    Thank you!!

    This was an amazing experience by this company and I fully recommend them. We signed up to go as part of a larger group , however the other persons did not show up, yet they still did the tour with us two. The driver Gabriella and guide Ellie were amazing, friendly and professional. They drove us there safely, then we hiked up Cerro negro taking pics of the amazing views. Followed by an amazing slide down the slope. There are other larger groups run by Europeans, but this company is local and persons were amazing nicas, so it's good to support a local company. Also they run more smaller more personable tours compared to the larger yellow jumpsuits. Go with them, and you would not regret it!
