Las Isletas - you can go down to the lake in a $2 taxi ride from Granada, get on one of the boats for a tour - you don't need a guide.

Another option is to see them on a kayak tour, lots of people in Granada do this tour.

Mombacho Volcano has a beautiful cloud forest at the top, well worth seeing for the wildlife and flower and fauna but take a sweater.

When you first get into Granada there are horses and carriages in the central square which will take you on a quick tour round the town for about $5 plus tips.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25485 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21110 Base yourself in San Juan del Sur and visit these beaches for the day.
