Nicaragua Bodyboarding All Inclusive Holiday

Seven night trip
From £2599

Nicaragua, where offshore winds never rest

Consistently perfect waves over 320 days a year make all-day bodyboarding in warm tropical water a reality. Uncrowded line-ups, plus accommodation, food, airport transfers, expert coaching, guiding to the best spots and surf photography, are all included.

Why choose to go bodyboarding in Nicaragua?

Guests love this part of Nicaragua for its quality sand-bottom waves, relaxed pace, and easy access to consistent surf. We stay in a secure, gated community with high-quality accommodation just minutes from one of the country’s best bodyboarding waves. A longtime favourite with our Trip Leaders since the early 2000s, it offers a mix of lefts and rights with minimal crowds at this time of year.

What to expect?

Long, lazy days of bodyboarding in warm tropical water, with a gentle offshore breeze keeping you comfortable. Uncrowded chest-to-overhead waves deliver fun, perfectly peeling rides just like the photos. When the surf winds down, relax by one of the camp’s two swimming pools, socialise with like-minded bodyboarders, and enjoy a sunset cocktail. The only thing to plan around is the tide, everything else is pura buena onda!
What to expect bodyboarding in Nicaragua

Who's It For?

Nicaragua is perfect for all levels, from newer trippers to experienced riders. Fun, sandy beach breaks deliver hollow, forgiving bowls with minimal consequence, ideal for building confidence, refining technique, and enjoying empty, warm-water bodyboarding day after day. Experienced riders will spend more time in the barrel than nearly any of our other trips.

Cultural Secrets

Perfect waves sit within a private coastal reserve, where flat terrain makes it easy to explore by bike, golf cart or surf wagon. Onsite Beach club, restaurants, surf shops, a gym, a golf course and spa are all a 5 minute walk from the villa. Venture further to volcanoes, hot springs and Lake Nicaragua, or enjoy beach horse rides and big-game fishing. Fuel up on fresh home cooked food and an ice-cold Toña beer, and experience the warmth and genuine hospitality Nicaragua is known for.

When To Go

Rob Barber
Trip Leader

Rob Barber is not only the Director of Bodyboard Holidays, he is also a former European and British Bodyboarding Number 1. After a remarkable 25-year career combined with his role as Head Coach for the British Surfing & Bodyboarding team, he was inspired to create unique bodyboarding experiences for like-minded people. A chance conversation at a bodyboarding contest in the UK gave him the tip off of the waves in this area of Nicaragua. That was back in 1998. Roll on to present day and he has held many trips to Nicaragua and received endless glowing reviews on the experience. While Bodyboard-Holidays took a hiatus from the visits to this region during and post the pandemic, they are now back and have things set up better than ever before.

Jacob Waller
Coach

Jacob has been voted as instructor of the year for 2 years in a row for good reason. Maturity beyond his years, strong in the water (he’s a triathlete as well as a bodyboarder), a great explainer and definitely the biggest fins out of any of the team (he’s a size 12 shoe and 6 foot 4 inches tall). Jacob flew through the 4 month instructor training course, climbed the ladder of achievement among his peers and now finds himself working on the Central America camps each winter. When he’s not working for Bodyboard Holidays he is training aspirant watersports and surfing instructors. He’s extremely safety conscious, knowledgeable and approachable. If you hear him being called ‘John John’ it’s because of his likeness to World surfing champion John John Florence! 

Lisa Cutts
Coach

Lisa is the best of the best when it comes to women’s bodyboarding. With Lisa as your coach extraordinaire, you’ll be in the hands of a legend, not only was she a European Bodyboarding Champion as she was also a world surf life-saving champion. As part of the Women + Waves and Bodyboard Holidays team, you’ll be in expert hands.
