“This is a unique tour as nowhere else in the world can you board down an active volcano.
“What we offer is a tour for everyone with absolutely no experience necessary.
"One of the greatest attractions of the tour is that you get a bit of everything.
“Nicaraguan rural culture, hiking, amazing views, walking in an active volcano and then of course the high adrenaline boarding down the volcano.”
Despite only starting the unique tour four years ago, ’volcano boarding’ has attracted more than 10,000 thrill seekers.
