Nice place

The islands are kind of nice to see. What made the trip though was seeing a guy fishing with a cast net. Our guide spoke to him and we went over and talked. He was in a dug out canoe with about 6 inches of...More

Fascinating

At first I thought we were heading into a vast national park-like setting of small islands. It soon became clear that the uber-rich of Nicaragua have mansions and large boats here and that they share with the abundant wildlife and bucolic surroundings. Our boat was...More

Great afternoon boat ride

It’s all great activity with children, we brought our 18 months son and didn’t have any problem. He loved it. Great to have the guide telling about the rich owners of the island and stop by monkey island !

Some nature close to the city

We’ve rented kayaks to paddle around the Isletas de Granada. There are hundreds of islands, and we probably just saw a few dozen, but we felt it was pretty much the same after a while: Hotels/Bars and fancy houses for rich people on rock islands....More

Fantastic boat ride

At first when we pulled away from the shore it seemed a bit dull. But when we began to weave through the islands wow! Very nice. Fascinating to see all the houses on their own islands. Definitely do this.

how far away is it from Managua City?

12 January 2018|

AnswerShow all 3 answers

The Islets tour leaves from the city of Granada, which is about 45 minutes from Managua by taxi.

I would like to take a longer tour of the islands and peninsula. What is available, and what is the cost? I'll be coming from where I live in Costa Rica. Have been to Granada once for 3 days, would like to see more.

AnswerShow all 2 answers

You should be able to negotiate a tour of any length. The guides seem more than happy to make a little more money.

NelaMora

Should we bring local currency or would they take USD? What about prices for tours, markets, food and lodging? We want to do Granada and San Juan del sur and will only have 3 days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We need to be back to Managua Monday for an morning flight... I appreciate any recommendations

Answer

You bring US. You can change your money at the bank or exchange from street corner vendors, they're pretty much at the same rate as banks. ATM's will give out one or the other, local or US.
