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, $35x7(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
