I read a lot about this islets before heading to Nicaragua, so I was looking forward to do this tour. I wasn't disappointed at all, great to take pictures and learn about the history of this part of Nicaragua. At first, I was overwhelmed about the quantity of tour operators that was a little difficult to choose one. We decided... More

Very nice boat ride around the little islands on this huge lake. Some of the islands have very large elegant homes. Saw the island with monkeys, stopped at a restaurant (on an island of course). It was a refreshing day with nice breezes, a break from the heat in town. Enjoyed the scenery! went May 2013

Tranquil tour of the islands with lots of birds - if you know where to look. Some local flavor - fishing, gardening and domestic chores plus a little bit of history round out the expereince.

It was a 2 hour boat ride with some stops through tiny islands that had amazing views of the lake. Try to go there near sunset, itcan be magical. Get bug repellent and sunscreen for it.

Absolutely beautiful views of the islands in this lake. My wife and I cruised around with the boat to ourselves and our guide who was very friendly and has an understanding with some of the monkeys who jumped onto the boat for some food. Houses for sale which made me want to buy. I would spend all day every day... More

Twice I have meandered in and around the 365 islets (one for every day of the year, they say) and both times I've been amazed. The first time was on a tour boat, which was well worth the price, comfortable and clean. We stopped at a monkey island and I worried that the monkeys were captive and wondered what they... More

It's just gorgeous. Do visit them late afternoon. Sunset not to be missed. Great bird watching. There is kayak and fishing expeditions.

My wife is into birdwatching and I go along for the scenery and enjoy the birds as well. We first went on an electric boat on the south side of the peninsula. We chose the electric boat because it is slow and quiet. We went at 8 AM before it got too hot. We did not make a reservation in... More

The isletas of Granada are great for a relaxing boat ride, with or without beer. There are tons of birds to be seen, in and around the islands. Just make sure you know who you are going with beforehand as the boatmen can be very pushy when you are looking for a boat.
