Tailor-made adventure tours
Looking for Adventure Tours that mix nature, culture, and adrenaline? We offer unforgettable journeys across Nicaragua. From surfing Pacific waves and sliding down active volcanoes to canyoning through gorges and hiking misty cloud forests.
But our tours are more than thrills. We believe in traveling with purpose and exploring with soul. Partnering with local guides, communities, and organizations, your adventure directly supports the people and places you visit. Sip coffee on a family farm in Matagalpa, explore traditional crafts in Estelí, or share a meal along the Río San Juan, every experience connects you to Nicaragua while preserving its rich culture.
We start with a personal call to get to know you, your interests, and your dreams for the perfect adventure. From there, our team carefully crafts several customized journeys for you to choose from. With Mono Loco Adventures, you don’t just travel, you make an impact.
Pick your thrill
Volcano Boarding at Cerro Negro: Strap in and race down pristine black ash slopes an adrenaline hit you’ll talk about for years.
Somoto Canyon Canyoning: Swim, scramble, and cliff-jump through limestone corridors carved by time. It’s equal parts playground and natural wonder.
Cloud forest trekking in the Macizo: Breathe in cool mountain air on fern-lined trails as howler monkeys echo overhead.
Surfing & beach days : From beginner waves to world-class breaks, our coaches match you to the right beach and tide.
Island & lake Adventures: Hike the volcanoes of Ometepe, kayak the Isletas of Granada, or float the thermally warmed waters of Laguna de Apoyo between adventures.
Wildlife & River Journeys: Spot caimans, monkeys, and tropical birds by boat or on foot in pristine reserves.
Posted on Margaret ToyeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great time with Mono Loco recently in Nicaragua. My husband and I did several tours in Leon and in Granada. The tour guides are all really knowledgeable and are passionate about sharing their country with visitors. If you get a tour with Leonel, Vladimir, Kike, or Byron, you are in excellent hands! We did two tours that included a meal and Leonel made sure that our dietary restrictions (vegan) were met. The tours are priced reasonably and I appreciated booking directly with the company, knowing that all the money is going directly to the company/tour guides. Overall, we just had a lot of fun. Thank you Mono Loco!Posted on Claire TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did three activities with Mono Loco: a city tour of Leon, a tour of Leon Vieja and a cookery course. All three were great experiences. The booking was straightforward; communication was prompt and clear and the quality of the guides was superb. It was like being shown around by a friend! For the cookery course, we went shopping in the market then caught a bus to the house of a lady in Leon. We cooked with her over an open fire a most delicious typical Nicaraguan stew. Altogether a wonderful day!Posted on Emmy RaschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything was super well organized and everyone was super friendly :-) food and accomodation was simple but very nice as well. Would definitely recommend! We saw some wild animals and went hiking and on a night boat tour.Posted on Isaac FelschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an incredible experience working with mono loco tours in Nicaragua. From the initial planning stages, your team was friendly, helpful, and kind, providing excellent advice on locations and assisting with shuttle arrangements beyond our scheduled tours. The four-day jungle tour was a highlight of my trip. The logistics were seamless, from the pickup in Granada to the journey down the San Juan River. I particularly enjoyed our time in El Castillo and the nature reserve. The jungle camp was well-equipped and charming, and the local food provided throughout the trip was delicious. The itinerary—including the night excursions, horseback riding, food cooking lessons and cocoa experiences—was wonderful. I also appreciated your help with our return to Granada and the last-minute coordination of private shuttles for the remainder of our trip. Seeing the Masaya Volcano at sunset on our final day was a perfect addition. Thank you for making this such an amazing experience. I will highly recommend Mono Loco Tours to any friends or family visiting the areaPosted on Wilma BergerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir hatten eine fantastische Tour nach Rio San Juan und Solentiname. Alles bestens organisiert und wir haben uns allzeit sicher gefühlt. Man ist wirklich mit Einheimischen zusammen und das macht die Reise besonders authentisch. Vielen Dank Margreet und Leonel!Posted on Ties Huis in 't VeldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing walking tour with guide Leo in Leon. He is a true storyteller and very knowledgeable of his city. I would definitely recommend this agency!Posted on Merle RadowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great Mangrove tour including turtle release from León. Knowledgeable and friendly local guide and boat driver (who spotted an aligator!) with great and easy communication and punctual pick up from our hostel. Would recommend!Posted on Felix GillilandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The revolution tour is a must if you want to understand Leon! It's unlike anything else you'll find in the city, and Leo brought it to life with his stories. The revolution is in living memory in Leon, and taking this tour made me see it everywherePosted on Sara BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience with this travel agency in Nicaragua. Everything was very well organized, and you can really feel the passion and personal care they put into the work. On Ometepe, they arranged our kayak trip, we explored the island in a unique way. In Las Peñitas, they helped us arrange surf lessons, making the whole experience smooth, easy, and fun. Thanks to their local knowledge and great network, we could fully enjoy our trip without any worries. They really care about your trip, they think along with you. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover Nicaragua in an authentic and stress-free way.Posted on Robert AitchisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did the easy trail on Mombacho. Fantastic guide (Tiger) with lots of great extra knowledge. Easy to arrange with Monoloco and good price. Recommended.
