Bigfoot Hostel and Volcano Boarding: Thrills and Spills in Nicaragua!

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!

20K+ boarders slid down at up to 101 km/h with us!

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!

Guides were great but there was a problem…

Matthew and Henry were amazing guides on the volcano boarding. They made us feel very safe. 5 stars for them and the overall tour.

Several local guys came along to help carry boards if we desired and I was disappointed to be told that without anyone taking them up on their offer (as was the case in our group), they don’t earn any money and it’s up to us to offer some money if we’re able. If that’s true, it is confusing for several reasons. 1) These men were definitely working and helping. Without them, the work for Henry and Matthew would have been a lot and might have detracted from their ability to do the amazing job they did. 2) The boards and clothing were stored where we picked the local guys up and it seemed like they were responsible for the gear. So either they are being taken advantage of or they are in fact being paid something. 3) Lastly, $35×7(in our group) is a lot of money in Nicaragua and I find it greedy that some of that money can’t make it to them considering points 1 & 2.

I respect the company for helping locals get the chance to earn money for their families from tourists. I do not respect it being up to us to pay their wage when they clearly played a role in the comfort and logistics of the tour. Maybe I’m missing a piece of information here. However, these are my feelings based on the information I have. – via Google

1.0/ 5

This is probably the most unorganized hostel I’ve stayed in. Lack of management.

First the check in was 2 hours delayed, without any notice.

Then we finally got our beds.
The bed I was supposed to have was occupied. A the next one didn’t have a locker connected, because someone had taken it.? The room looked super messy.

Then we got moved to another room which smells of chemicals that give you a bad headache.
The new bed had multiple stains on the the linen.
they changed it as they should, when I told them., but it doesn’t feel like anybody is in control.

I would come for a cheap drink, but save the night for a more organized place – via Google
