If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience in Nicaragua, the Bigfoot Hostel and Volcano Boarding tour is a definite contender. However, like all ventures, there’s always a blend of the good and areas of improvement.

Reasons to Choose Bigfoot Hostel and Volcano Boarding:

1. Guided Excellence: The volcano boarding tour seems to be a highlight, with many praising the guides for their expertise and welcoming nature. Corey B. was specifically impressed by Matthew and Henry, who ensured a safe and memorable experience. Charlie C. echoes this sentiment, calling Henry “the most informative and helpful guide.”
2. All-Inclusive Packages: The volcano boarding experience goes beyond just the thrill of the slide. Anaid J. was thrilled with the comprehensive package that included drinks, snacks, marshmallows, and dinner.
3. Perfect Base to Experience León: Elida P. labels Bigfoot Hostel as “the friendliest and funniest” spot in Nicaragua, offering excellent activities to explore León’s charm, from the sunrise tour of Cerro Negro to beach shuttles.

Things to Consider:

1. Payment Issues: Corey B. highlights a potential issue concerning payment to local guys who help with board transportation. The concern lies in how they’re compensated, raising questions about the financial dynamics and the hostel’s responsibility.
2. Hostel Organization and Cleanliness: Adam H. was disappointed with the hostel’s management, pointing out issues like delays in check-in, occupied beds, messy rooms, and linens with stains.
3. Know What to Expect: While many praise the volcano boarding tour, not everyone stayed at the hostel. It might be wise to cross-check if you’re looking for accommodations too.

In conclusion, while Bigfoot Hostel and Volcano Boarding’s adventures seem to be a hit among many, it’s essential to be informed and set the right expectations when planning your trip. Ready to board down a volcano? It promises to be an experience like no other!

The founder OF VOLCANO BOARDING…

Volcano Boarding is an extreme thrill-seeking kind of sport created by an equally extreme, Australian thrill-seeker, Daryn Webb.

Daryn Webb sent his very first boarder down an active volcano back in 2004. Daryn and his crew endured a fair share of trials and errors, testing everything from picnic tables to mattresses, even a fridge door [ YES, a fridge door ] until… they created a sit-down toboggan made of metal and Formica-reinforced plywood.

The adventure sport was born!
