| Description: Oye SURFERGIRLS! Nicaragua hosts some of the best waves along the Pacific coastline in Central America - with consistant offshore winds stemming from the interior volcanoes. Join us for a 5 day/6 night surf trip you’ll never forget. INCLUDES – lodging, 3 meals a day, daily surfing classes at Playa Amarillo -a 15 minute walk or 4 minute 4×4 truck ride from your beach house. Advanced surfers can rip at Colorado-another classic Nica beach break. Three boat trips offered- including one fishing trip; one snorkeling trip; and a day trip to San Juan del Sur for lunch and shopping. Aside from surfing, we will shop for local hand made crafts and fine arts at the Masaya market and spend a night in the historic colonial town of Granada. If the surf goes flat for a consistent period during your stay - or, you would like to explore more of Nicaragua - we will have the option of traveling to the Island of La Isla de Ometepe - an island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua home to two volcanoes: Volcan Concepcion and Volcan Maderas. There, we can hike a volcano and drink organic grown coffee at La Finca de Magdelena. |
