One package based in San Juan del Sur, a small resort town with many bars, restaurants and nightlife. If you are looking for a true Nicaragua experience, San Juan is where it’s at.

The other is our Hidden Bay Surf Lodge. A very small (500 people) fishing village a little north of San Juan. If you are looking for a week of waves, books, and beers with just your buddies, this is your spot.

San Juan Luxury Package

$1,200 a week per person. 3 person minimum. (additional charge for less than 3 people)

You will spend your evenings in one of the nicest hotels in SJDS, The Villa Isabella. Rooms come equiped with A/C, video players (Lots of free movies to choose from), with Internet available in the lobby.

You’ll have breakfast served to you in the hotel by Mike, the owner of Villa Isabella, before you leave. We pack a lunch of typical nica fare, chicken, beef or pork, with rice and beans. Perfect fuel to keep you charged while on the water. On the boat you will have fresh fruit, cold beer, soda and water. All included.

For dinner (not included) you are on your own to explore the many local restaurants of varying cuisine, ranging from Gringo owned burger joints to ocean front seafood.

Hidden Bay Surf Lodge

More secluded than SJDS, but closer to where you want to be - THE SURF!

$1,200 a week per person. Max eight people in double occupancy rooms.

Brand new custom-built surf lodge is right on the beach. The four bedrooms come with A/C and their own bath with hot and cold running water.

There is satellite internet access and skype in the great room of the surf lodge. Bring your laptop!

A boat and captain stand at the ready to take you surfing to any of the breaks — five to twenty minuets away.

In Hidden Bay (you’ll learn the local name when you get here) I’ve tried to preserve the ambiance of a Nicaraguan fishing village. I have limited the foreign staff to myself and maybe one other. My captains don’t surf so you have one less guy competing with you for waves. Part of the mystery of new surf spots is lost when you’re led around by a guide. I try to keep the impact low and the idea of a full service gringo compound defeats the purpose of surf travel IMO. I let my clients pay normal dinner prices in the local restaurants. This gives you a chance to interact with the locals and honestly the whole paying for the meal is one of the most meaningful interactions of a surf trip to a foreign country. You are injecting your money directly into the local economy. You can change dollars into cordobas with us on the first day and we buy back your cords on the last.

At my lodge in Hidden Bay you will eat local cuisine in local restaurants. There might be dogs and children on the floor but the fish is fresh and the smiles genuine. There will also be the opportunity to sample the fine cuisine of Cordon Bleu trained Maria Esperanza’s fine dinning on the beach. We also will travel to Rancho Santana for at least one meal so you get a feel for the Nicaraguan delight that is Tola.

There will be coffee and fruit available early everyday. We will make brunch before noon, usually after morning sessions. In the afternoon there will always be a lunch/snack available, whether it be a pasta salad or fruit in addition to a larger meal if you so desire. Please let us know how this will best suit your sleep/surfing schedule.

Keep in mind that you won't need to rent a car, which many surfers will tell you is one of the most annoying and costly parts of a "road" surf trip.

We make it possible for you to spend your time doing exactly what you want, whether it’s surfing all day or not. I can say with confidence that you'll have an experience you'll never forget. One of my recent guests called his trip ”an unpredictable adventure.”

IMPORTANT: Please let us know about any allergies or eating restrictions right away. If there is any item or service you would like midweek, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
