As you may already know, Nicaragua is full of surprises. Its Ometepe Island is not an exception. It’s the destination that  every traveler should see  when traveling in Nicaragua. This island has everything from the natural reserve to adventure activities, volcanoes, relaxation, and coffee experiences. I spent 4 days on Ometepe Island , and it was one of the most unique travel experiences I’ve had.

So, I’ve compiled a list of the  11 best things you can do in Ometepe . It also includes the best way to get around, prices, best restaurants, and more.

✈ Travel Resources For Your Trip ✈

Here are some of my favorite travel resources I use for my travel adventures.

List Of 11 Best Things To Do On Ometepe Island & Map

Let’s dive into the 11 best things you can do on Ometepe Island. Here is a quick overview of all the activities on Ometepe Island:

1. Drive around the island on a scooter 2. Hike up a volcano 3. Visit Ojo de Agua 4. Explore Charco Verde Natual Reserve 5. Go Zip-Lining 6. Enjoy coffee at Centro PUMA 7. Practice Yoga at El Zopilote 8. Go kayaking 9. Stare at the sunset at Punta Jesus Maria 10. Walk up the Waterfall San Ramon 11. Visit the El Ceibo museum

1. Drive Around The Island On Scooter

The  best way to explore Ometepe Island  is to rent a scooter or an ATV. This way, you’ll be flexible and can see the island at your own pace.

Local buses  also run in between bigger towns on the island. However, they’re often super crowded and take much time to get from one place to another.

The first activity I recommend doing on Ometepe Island is to  drive around on a scooter . Do a circle from  Santo Domingo via Merida  around the island towards Balgue and return to your accommodation.

Moyogalpa is the first place you’ll arrive by ferry. So rent a scooter there, and drive to your accommodation after.

2. Hike Up A Volcano

One of the most popular things on the island is hiking up a volcano. Ometepe island composes of two volcanos:  Concepcion  and  Maderas volcano .

The  Concepcion volcano  is more popular to hike. It’s also a  better option  as it’s drier and the views are much more stunning than from Maderas. It’s slightly  longer  to hike up than to Maderas volcano, but it’s generally  easier and more beautiful .

Hiking up the  Maderas volcano  is more challenging because the  way is quite muddy . As the volcano  has a little lake inside , it’s very humid, and there is a lot of mud on the way.

Hiking The Concepcion Volcano

The entire excursion takes the  whole day . The organizer usually picks you up at 5:30 a.m. from your hotel/hostel. The  hike up takes around 4 hours , and down between 3 to 4 hours. You’ll come back to your hostel/hotel at around 6:00 p.m.

The  price for the excursion  is $20, including pick up, transfer, and a guide. In addition, you have to pay a $3 entrance fee. Your hotel can organize the excursion for you, just ask at the reception.

NOTE:  Walking any of the volcanos by yourself is impossible. The government prohibited it due to many accidents in the past.

3. Visit Ojo De Agua

You can visit the crystal-clear water pool created from a natural spring on Ometepe Island. It’s called Ojo de Agua, which means ‘water eye’ in English.

This natural phenomenon is filled with water from the Maderas volcano thanks to its underground river. So now you can say that you swam in the volcano water. Pretty amazing, right?

You can swim, enjoy yourself on the shore, read a book, listen to an audiobook , and sip some delicious local drinks or fresh coconut water.

The entrance fee is $10 per person . You’ll get 2 vouchers : $5 voucher for the pool entrance and another $5 voucher that you can use for drinks or food. You can spend as much time as you want.

4. Explore Charco Verde Natural Reserve

Charco Verde is a natural reserve in the southern part of Ometepe.

You can visit it by paying an entrance fee of 175 cordobas . Firstly, there is a butterfly sanctuary , where you can explore various kinds of butterflies. It’s quite a chilled place with relaxing music in the background.

Afterward, you can walk through the forest around the Lagoon of Charco Verde . The best part is that you can see monkeys in the trees on the way.

Towards the end of the walk around the lagoon, you’ll get amazing views of the Conception volcano .

5. Go Zip-Lining

Before entering the Charco Verde Natural Reserve, hop on a zip-line adventure.

They give you full gear, and you’ll be  zip-lining above the jungle , seeing the Charco Verde, and even getting stunning views of Lake Nicaragua.

So, this might be an option to  see Charco Verde from above . There is one bridge on the zip line and three stops altogether.

Entrance:  $17 per person

6. Enjoy Coffee At Centro PUMA

Centro PUMA is located in Altagracia town. It’s a cute coffee place where locals use the income and donations from guests to support local schools and children . In addition, they provide extra curriculum programs for local children in the center, mainly English classes.

I was amazed by this coffee center and its program. The staff is very welcoming, explains their work, and lets you sit down or enjoy their hammocks even if you don’t order anything.

Their coffee is delicious ; they also have sweets, salads, and a few vegan options.

One thing you must try is their ‘Magical Fruit Experience’ . It’s a lot of fun, and the fruit is magical as it prevents you from feeling any acid in your mouth. So try it out for 200 cordobas.

7. Practice Yoga At El Zopilote

El Zopilote is a true paradise in the middle of Ometepe’s jungle . It’s a hostel located near Balgue town. This place attracts many backpackers and digital nomads, mainly thanks to its rich program . Every day, you have different things organized for you, such as:

• yoga classes
• family dinner
• cacao ceremony
• pizza night
• permaculture farm tours

The best is their yoga classes, cacao ceremony, and pizza nights (every Tuesday and Saturday). Yes, you can prepare the pizza yourself in the jungle, which is pretty amazing.

All the activities mentioned above are included in the price of your stay . You can still come for a yoga class even if you don’t stay. Just come into the reception and ask if you could join.

You can also visit the place and have lunch in their restaurant in the jungle.

8. Go Kayaking

You can go kayaking on an organized tour. Just imagine – what a unique experience kayaking on a lake with sharks inside.

Your kayaking experience starts near Peru Beach or Mango Beach. You’ll kayak through the River Istian and see the jungle and Nicaraguan flora from the water. Watch out for unique birds and other species. Maybe you can spot a few monkeys , too.

Ask your hotel/hostel if they organize a kayak tour for you. Or go to one of the scooter rental places in Moyogalpa, and they can sign you up.

The price for the kayak tour is $20 per person , including transportation, guide, and kayak rental.

9. Stare At The Sun Set On Punta Jesus Maria

Punta Jesus Maria offers the  best sunset experience on Ometepe Island . It’s a narrow spit of land stretching into Lake Nicaragua. If the lake has a lot of water than usual, the spit is not visible so much. Yet, it’s still nice to see.

Not only does this place have the best sunset experience. It also offers one of the most  spectacular views of the Concepcion volcano .

You can lie down on the beach and relax. There is a restaurant with drinks and food. And you can also get  fresh coconut water .

10. Walk Up The Waterfall San Ramon

San Ramon is the only waterfall on the island. It takes about 1 hour & 30 minutes to hike to see it.

Drive towards the old port of San Ramon ( Antiguo Puerto San Ramon ). Then turn left (if arriving from Merida) and drive until the road ends. Leave your scooter there and start walking.

NOTE: During the summer/dry season (December – April) has, the waterfall less or no water since it’s a dry climate. So before going there, check with locals or ask your hotel whether there is water at the time.

11. Visit El Ceibo Museum

Ometepe Island is well known for its  pre-Columbian history . Archeologists found many clay artifacts under the ground, which you can nowadays see in the Ceibo Museum . You’ll get a guided tour and learn about the  island’s history and artifacts . After, you’ll also get to try some delicious  homemade liquors .

Altogether, you can see pottery, funeral urns, weapons, and various tools.

What I particularly love about the museum is the second part, where they display  different currencies Nicaragua has had  from pre-Columbian times until now. I love to keep currency bills from each country when traveling. Here, you can see the  evolution and history of Nicaraguan currency , too.

Best Beaches In Ometepe
