What's this trip about?

    Although Nicaragua is hailed as “the next Costa Rica”, it is relatively untouched by tourism. Only those in the know understand how diverse this destination is, and that is half the draw; Nicaragua offers all the same beauty and activities as its southern brother, at half the cost. The beautiful beaches offer some of the best surfing in all of Central America, and inland Nica is laden with jungles, lakes, and volcanoes begging to be explored. On this tour, explore the bright, culturally-rich town of Granada. In San Juan del Sur, surf, snorkel, fish, sunbathe and partake in the lively party atmosphere, including the wild Sunday Funday Pool Crawl. Explore Central America’s hidden gem before the secret gets out! Costa Rica is an incredibly popular destination, and once you arrive you’ll quickly see why! The nation boasts hundreds of kilometers of pristine white sand, crystal waters laden with surf, and bright rainforests abundant with wildlife, waterfalls and underground caves. This tour takes full advantage of Costa Rica’s incredible Western coastline and all the experiences the area has to offer. Take it up a notch with surfing, ziplining, rock climbing, rafting and countless other activity options, or chill with a coconut cocktail on the beach meeting travellers from around the world.
