A few suggestions to get the holiday planning process started
Beautiful Nicaragua boasts postcard-worthy beaches, lush jungles, thriving culture and historic cities, with the added benefit of seeing far fewer tourists than its neighbouring nations. We can organise a range of activities based on your interests, be it surf lessons on the Pacific coast, sandboarding (or ziplining) down a volcano or wildlife watching in the Indio-Maiz Reserve. Granada, one of the oldest cities in the Americas, is sprinkled with Spanish colonial-era gems and is perfect for exploring on a guided walking tour. Our fantastic local guides will help you gain an insider’s insight into an authentic Nicaragua.

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
From sun-worshippers to thrill-seekers, Nicaragua is an under-the-radar destination loved by all (our consultants included). We’ll use our firsthand experiences in the country to help plan your perfect trip, whether you’d rather explore Lake Nicaragua’s 365-strong group of islets by kayak or discover the peaceful paradise of the Caribbean coast. Whatever’s on the agenda, we’ll make sure you get under the skin of this Central American nation. And if you fall in love with the region, we’re perfectly placed to seamlessly combine your Nicaragua holiday with a trip to Costa Rica or other neighbouring nations.
Not only is Nicaragua the largest country in Central America, it’s also home to the largest lake in the region, Lake Nicaragua; the largest cathedral, found in the city of Leon; and the oldest colonial city in not just central, but all of the Americas - Granada. Away from the cities and lakes, the Pacific coast is well worth a visit for the fantastic surfing and much smaller crowds than many other beaches in the region. There are also volcanoes, mountains and rainforests with incredible biodiversity to be explored. Close to 20% of the country's territory is set aside as protected areas and like the rest of Central America, the country contains a disproportionate percentage of the world's biodiversity, making it a prime spot for wildlife lovers.
As the ‘land of lakes and volcanoes’ you can experience this country’s diverse landscapes by taking part in a number of adventurous activities. Embark on a kayaking excursion across Lake Nicaragua, wander through the tree-tops of Mombacho Volcano Nature Reserve or dive into underwater caves. Relax with yoga classes, walks along the private beach at Morgan’s Rock or island hop between the Islets of Granada, an idyllic string of islands formed from the ash of the Mombacho Volcano more than 25,000 years ago. We can put together completely tailor-made holiday itineraries to include all this, as well as trips to see the historic colonial cities of Granada and Leon and the great beaches of the Pacific coast.
