Best Excursion in Nica - Absolutely amazing! I can’t begin to say just how smooth and professional this tour company is. Sergio (our tour guide) is the best. You can tell he enjoys what he does, explained everything in detail, calmed me down because I was shook at first. Everything was just perfect! Must book! P.S. I’m petrified of heights… but once you get going down the volcano, that goes away. And you really do control your own speed!

A Must Try!! - Sergio was great!! We booked this tour as a private group of 6.. They were super flexible since we were driving from San Juan Del Sur 4 hours away. Great communication, awesome equipment (I noticed the other groups didn't have as nice Jumpsuits), and very knowledgeable. So fun! Highly recommend

Once in a Lifetime - Franklin was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. He took care of us from the moment we boarded our bus to go to Cerra Negro. He has done this long enough to know the best way to have a great experience, from hiring a local to carry our boards up the mountain (they make money, we have the freedom of not carrying boards) to making his own boards and denim jumpsuits for the ride down. He played inspiring music for our hike up, and took fabulous photos and put together a professional little video of our trip. We had a blast with him, and really appreciated his knowledge.

Highlight of our trip - What a fantastic morning....the volcano looks daunting but its surprisingly an easy ascent. The wind keeps you cool and it utterly worth the effort. Franklin was exceptional, informative, friendly, energetic, with tunes to walk to, fabulous photos. Highly recommend. A must do experience.

Living my best life - What an amazing trip to Cerro Negro. Franklin was an amazing guide. Upon meeting we were greeted with a warm smile and given a quick history of the town which tied in nicely with our excursion up the volcano. Vamos Travel supplied us the gear to wear, goggles and gloves along with the boards. What was great, was that he hired a local to help assist with carrying the boards.. it made the journey up more comfortable, especially since it was incredibly winding that morning. I was surprisingly getting tired going up the volcano but Franklin was very patient while I took a moment. We stopped at key spots to take in the view. Franklin took some footage and photos thankfully, where he later airdropped them. Eventually we made it to the top, I geared up and was given some helpful tips boarding and then down I went!!! Volcano boarding was So much FUN!!! -M

Very professional service - Very professionally run and managed company. We booked the Cerro Negro tour along with several other transfers between cities during our trip. Franklin was in close touch with us from the moment we landed and throughout our stay, so we knew exactly what to expect and when, and he offered some independent sight seeing suggestions as well. The guide, Sergio, was friendly, informative and very attentive to safety on the volcano. Drivers were professional and punctual, everything was delivered on time and as advertised. We were very happy with Vamos Nicaragua!

Dangerous without a helmet but fun - Volcano boarding was super fun until it wasn’t. I fell, hit my head and was bleeding/bruised/injured. I was lucky that I didn’t break my neck or anything else. I would highly recommend providing helmets!! Luckily, the driver had a first aid kit and also owns a pharmacy with his wife. Flew back to the states the next day. Other than that, Julio, our guide, had interesting information about the volcano, etc.
