The Islets of Granada, also known as Las Isletas, are a group of over 360 small islands scattered across Lake Nicaragua, near the city of Granada. Formed by a volcanic eruption of Mombacho Volcano thousands of years ago, these islands are a haven for wildlife, including various bird species, monkeys, and other fauna. Boat tours are the primary way to explore the islets, offering opportunities for bird watching, visiting local communities, and enjoying the scenic beauty. Some islands host hotels or private residences, while others are uninhabited. Accessibility varies; some tours cater to those with mobility issues, but inquire in advance. Solo travelers can easily join group tours, while guided tours provide more in-depth knowledge. There are generally no significant seasonal restrictions, but the dry season (December to April) offers more pleasant weather. The cost typically ranges from $15 to $50 USD per person, depending on the tour type and duration, with typical visits lasting 2 to 4 hours.
