TRIP OVERVIEW
TRIP ITINERARY
NUTS & BOLTS

The southern region of Nicaragua is simply beautiful with unspoiled stretches of beach, a deep rooted history, and a relaxed and friendly culture. Tourism has not fully impacted this area of Central America, so the beaches tend to be uncrowded and pristine. Nicaragua is perfect for guests looking for an off the beaten path destination, excellent surfing, warm water, and vibrant small towns. Our mini-trip is the ideal way to learn to surf or to advance to the next level of surfing in a very short time in a very unique place.

Our Nicaragua Surf Mini-Adventure explores the best beaches for beginner and intermediate surfers, with excursions to fabulous 'secret' spots where we may even have the waves to ourselves. Take a break from surfing to visit a historic, colonial city near the shores of Lake Nicaragua and shop at a local artisanal market. Evenings will be spent in an unique oceanview resort where we will relax after our full days of adventure.

Please note:

This itinerary is designed to give you an idea of what to expect during our trip but it is not set in stone. What we actually do on a given day is flexible and is tailored to weather and swell conditions and the interests and abilities of the group. Because this is a rainforest destination, you can expect to have some rainy afternoons. In the summer this might be one to two hours per day. In the winter it will be less frequent. However, we have paced our trip to take full advantage of the sunshine and optimum surf conditions.
This trip is appropriate for beginner, and intermediate surfers.

DAY 1: Arrive in Liberia, Costa Rica

We'll pick you up in Costa Rica, but will head straight across the Nicaraguan border (45 minute drive) to our lovely oceanview resort and spa in the up and coming surfing mecca of San Juan del Sur. If time and conditions permit, we'll head out to the beach to paddle around and warm up. Tonight we'll kick back at the hotel and relax. Dinner will be at an excellent local restaurant.

Drive time: 3 1/2 hours

Accommodation: Oceanview resort

Meals: On own

DAY 2: Surf Nicaragua

Our first full day in Nicaragua will allow us to work on developing our skills. After breakfast we will head out to a nearby beach where our expert instructors will assess your skill level. In the afternoon, we'll enjoy a picnic lunch followed by a second surf session. Dinner tonight will be in San Juan del Sur.

Drive time: N/A

Accommodation: Oceanview resort

Meals: Breakfast

DAY 3: Visit Granada

This morning we'll head out to Granada, the oldest colonial city in the Americas, with incomparable historical and architectural significance. Granada is set beside the towering Mombacho and Masaya Volcanoes and the immense Lake Nicaragua. We'll arrive in town just in time for brunch at a local cafe, which will give us a chance to soak in the town's charming atmosphere. Afterward, we'll stroll the narrow cobblestone streets and visit some of Granada's colonial civil and religious landmarks. On our way back to San Juan del Sur, we'll stop at the famous handicrafts market in Masaya known for traditional woodwork, leather, weaving, and pottery.

Drive time: 3 hours (roundtrip)

Accommodation: Oceanview resort

Meals: Breakfast

                                        This morning we'll head out to Granada, the oldest colonial city in the Americas, with incomparable historical and architectural significance. Granada is set beside the towering Mombacho and Masaya Volcanoes and the immense Lake Nicaragua. We'll arrive in town just in time for brunch at a local cafe, which will give us a chance to soak in the town's charming atmosphere. Afterward, we'll stroll the narrow cobblestone streets and visit some of Granada's colonial civil and religious landmarks. On our way back to San Juan del Sur, we'll stop at the famous handicrafts market in Masaya known for traditional woodwork, leather, weaving, and pottery.<div><br></div><div>Drive time: 3 hours (roundtrip)</div><div>Accommodation: Oceanview resort</div><div>Meals: Breakfast</div>
