Jobs Opportunities

Who We Are Looking For

Surf Tours Nicaragua takes on new team members year-round for both short and long term contracts. All positions include full room and board and surfing opportunities. The ability to drive stick and some Spanish is highly desirable, as well as necessary vaccinations.

Skills in areas such as construction, first aid, musical talent, yoga, mechanics, photography, boating, education, cooking, fishing, fiberglass repair, landscaping, bartending, love for animals, massage therapy, nutrition, organized sports, agriculture, sewing, art, woodworking, information technologies, language, customer service, web/graphic design and more...are all desirable traits.

There is a steady stream of people from all walks of life coming to stay with us as guests, friends, and staff. We look for applicants who demonstrate a genuine interest in the country of Nicaragua, the sport of surfing, are engaged, open minded, and have some experience in a communal living situation.

A Day in the Life

We pick-up and drop-off our guests at the airport ourselves (ability to drive stick is helpful here), or if the number of guests is too large we may hire a taxi in addition. The airoport in Managua (MGA) is where our guests fly into, which is 1.5 hours away from our operation.

The guests arrive and after being shown their rooms usually get straight into the water. We run up to three trips a day to the various breaks within the area based on the guest's wants, and our surf guides decide where they go based on conditions and/or surfing abilities. Some guests only want one or two sessions per day; others are hardcore and want to be out all day. When not surfing, the guests hang out around the camp; it is a remote place with no tourist infrastructure yet, so there are no quaint cafes, tourist shops, ect. There is a small village to walk around in and interract with the local community, but few if any sights to see. A big part of any job at camp is customer service; hanging out with the guests. We serve three meals daily, as well as a pre-dawn patrol coffee/cereal nosh, which are served buffet style and which everyone eats at the same time.

A note on the area

We are pretty isolated, which is what makes our paradise so wonderful, but can also wear on people who are used to the hustle of the western world. We have limited phone and internet access at the camp, but the majority of communication must be done in town (Leon which is 45 minutes away). You will of course be given opportunities to go into town as well as days off but it is super important that you are aware that this is in no way a daily occurrence.

We try not to take ourselves too seriously, but...seriously, we work pretty hard. The compensation is that we also play hard.
