Colonial City Tours - $50 to $100 per Person

Leon and Granada, Nicaragua's two oldest cities, are both beautiful colonial cities. You have the opportunity to enjoy a day trip or overnight trip to either or both cities. Both cities offer excellent food options, beautiful colonial accommodations, great nightlife and incredible history.

Leon is the university center of Nicaragua. Traditionally the more liberal of the two cities, Leon has a blossoming tourist industry that combines a "Pura Nicaragua" experience with the amenities that you expect during your vacation. Leon's cathedral is the largest in Central America, and its central park provides a setting to enjoy a cocktail and dinner at a nearby restaurant while observing the bustle of the city.

Granada has been beautifully restored to its pre-revolution state. It sits on the northernmost edge of Lake Nicargua, Central America's largest inland lake, and benefits from the lake's temperate climate. Granada offers Nicaragua's most sought after dining options, and is undoubtedly one of Central America's most beautiful cities. Nearby islets in Lake Nicaragua are accessible from Granada and provide their visitors with a look into Nicaragua's indigenous past.

Deep Sea Fishing - $125 to $300 per Person Depending on Group Size

Fishing in northern Nicaragua is some of the finest in the world. Surf Tours Nicaragua offers the opportunity for clients to participate in fishing expeditions of the fish-full reefs, estuaries and deep water banks of Nicaragua's north Pacific coastline. You can expect to catch Rooster Fish, Mackarel, Snapper, Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, Jacks, Needlefish, Sailfish, and even the occassional Marlin with luck!!!

Expeditions include all equipment & bait, and are between 4-6 hours depending upon conditions. You will be aboard our FULLY outfitted, Coastguard approved fishing vessel, have the help and advice of our professional fishing guides, and enjoy refreshments and lunch at sea. Fishing tours range in price depending upon your preferences, so ask us when you are booking and we will custom design your fishing excursion.

Juan Venado Island Tour - $75 per Person

Juan Venado Island Nature Reserve is formed by an estuary that extends from Las Penitas to Salinas Grandes. Surf Tours Nicaragua can arrange a tour of the mangrove and wildlife-filled estuary. You can expect to see large and small saltwater crocodiles, iguanas, egrets, blue herons, and more. Mangrove tours can also be combined with fishing and beach combing tours to make a full day. As well, a "mysto reef" lies offshore of the island that has yet to be surfed, but is rumored to look like one of the best waves around!

Your tour includes breakfast, lunch and refreshments, and you can add a romantic dinner at the beach at Las Penitas if you so choose. You will be provided with a guide that is well-versed in the ins and outs of the fantastic marine reserve at Isla Juan Venado.

Padre Ramos Estuary Kayak Tours - $125 per Person Daily

The Estero Padre Ramos Nature Reserve is the largest contiguous mangrove estuary in Central America, with 175 species of birds, three species of sea turtles, crocodiles, iguanas, and fish galore. Explore this tranquil and spectacular destination, while you float just above the surface of the water in the comfort of your sea kayak.

Surf Tours Nicaragua can book estuary tours in the Padre Ramos Marine and Nature Reserve, which hosts Nicaragua's most plentiful and diverse animal species. Fishing is also excellent in the area, which makes it an exciting option for fishing enthusiasts.

Full-day and multi-day tours can be arranged that include surfing, fishing and estuary tours. Ask when you are booking for information and availability of our Padre Ramos Marine and Nature Reserve tours.

Cowboy for a Day - $80 per Person

We will take you to a working cattle ranch outside of Leon, teach you how to saddle, mount and ride a horse, teach you to prepare and drive an ox-cart, and how to milk a cow. All in the span of a day! Your tour includes breakfast, a tasty traditional Nicaraguan BBQ, and a swim in a nearby lagoon to cool you off after you hard days work.

Volcano Boarding - $50 per Person

If you have ever dreamed of snowboarding down a volcano (yeah, pretty far-fetched dream), now is your opportunity. A short hike up Cerro Negro Volcano grants you the opportunity to take an exhilarating ride down the black sand produced by this active volcano cinder cone.

Let us know when you are booking your surf tour if this adventure interests you, and we will fit it into the schedule. Tours include equipment rental, transportation and necessary instruction.

Scuba Diving - Custom Packages

Surf Tours Nicaragua offers extended packages that include diving in the Corn Islands, located off of Nicaragua's Caribbean coastline. Diving in the Corn Islands is world class! Human impact on the islands' reefs is extremely minimal due to low population and measures adopted to protect the reef systems. As a result, sea life is abundant and thriving in the Corn Islands. Dives around the island are generally shallow (less than 60 feet), but there are a few deep dives (more than 100 feet) available further offshore.

Nicolas is a PADI certified Open Water Scuba Instructor, and thus can provide certification courses from Open Water and Advanced Scuba Divers through obtaining your Divemaster certification. Each dive package is custom designed to suit your needs, and depend on your certification level and dive gear requirements, so ask when you are booking your surf tour for pricing and availability.

Cosiguina Peninsula, The Gulf of Fonseca, and The Cliffs at Punta Nata

Cosiguina Peninsula and the Gulf of Fonseca, which separate Nicaragua from Honduras and El Salvador, are both virtually undiscovered due to poor road conditions and lack of accommodations. The area has some of Nicaragua's best point and reef breaks, many of which are only accessible by boat. Surf Tours Nicaragua offers extended packages that include discovery missions to Cosiguina Peninsula and the Gulf of Fonseca.

Because accommodations are few and far between, you can expect to spend a couple of nights during your discovery mission camping, but you are guaranteed to not see another surfer during the entirety of your tour.

Fishing and hiking opportunities abound in the "far north," so get ready to get in touch with nature, and see a part of Nicaragua that VERY few have yet to see. The Cliffs at Punta Nata tower above the sea 150 meters, and provide breathtaking views of the pacific ocean as it beats itself against the cliffs far below. Ask about the Cosiguina Peninsula, The Cliffs at Punta Nata and the Gulf of Fonseca when you are booking your surf tour for pricing and availability of this option.

Live Baseball Games - $20 per Person

Baseball is religion in Nicaragua! Unlike the rest of Central America, soccer takes a back seat to baseball. Due to the incredible climate in Nicaragua, live baseball is played almost year round. Nicaragua hosts four farm teams that are all associated with Major League Baseball clubs in the US or Canada.

Competition is fierce with budding talent in constant circulation throughout the league, and the games are an experience like no other! Afternoon and evening games are regularly played and include alcoholic beverages, so ask about availability and pricing when you are booking your surf tour.
