5Concepción Volcano Hike
The guide arrived early and provided the required amount of water for the hike, they provided important facts regarding the flora and fauna of the region, they knew the route they made us feel safe all the time, I highly recommend the guide Humberto Alvarado
5Highly recommend this hike!
I went alone and felt completely safe. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly! He also took pictures for us along the root which he later sent. The hike was harder than I expected but doable and the views were spectacular. Highly recommend!
5Definitely book with Happy Tours!!
We could not recommend this company more to hike Volcán Concepcion. Our guide Donald was enthusiastic, knowledgable and patient. He took time to point out different animals and plants, take photos for us, and made sure we all had enough water before we left.
5Challenging but rewarding hike
This is an extremely challenging hike, but rewarding. It was cloudy at the top, but beautiful views on the way up and the way down. The La Union trail offered great views of the entire island. Our guide was very kind and a true mountain goat - he was patient to help and wait for us, I’m sure he could have hiked the volcano in half the time we took. For those who complain their guide wasn’t fluent in English, remember you are in their country, not yours and appreciate the culture.
5A very friendly and profressional team that I would recommend to anyone
My husband and I hiked Concepcion and Maderas with Happy Tours. Both Hector and Donald were great guides. The weather was not great but both guides were patient with us as we navigated the difficult terrain. Donald’s communication before the hikes was great - he was very responsive on WhatsApp to all of my questions and arranging the hikes. I would definitely recommend.

About Isla de Ometepe
Ometepe is an island of two volcanoes rising from Lake Nicaragua, joined by a low neck of land, with forest trails, beaches and pre-Columbian carvings.
Ometepe is shaped like an hourglass, two volcanoes linked by a narrow isthmus in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. Concepción, an active cone of 1,610 metres, is almost perfectly symmetrical, while the older Maderas is forested and holds a lake in its crater. Ferries cross from the mainland to Moyogalpa, the main port, and the smaller town of Altagracia lies on the other side of Concepción.
