OUR FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO IN OMETEPE ISLAND

BIKE RIDING

There are numerous trails of varying difficulty that run through the island. The lower flanks are rich farming land with traditional village life which gives way to thick jungle as you gain height. You can swim in the lake from several of the islands beaches.
