We were worried about travelling to Nicaragua due to safety concerns and everyone commenting it was too dangerous, however as soon as we got there we realised we had nothing to worry about and issues from last years crisis has long dissipated and it’s truly just a beautiful country. Hari’s is amazing we stayed with them for one night in a beautiful little house and had fresh fruit the next morning that was grown on the ranch. Hari took us on a horseback riding tour through the jungle and up to an amazing view of the whole island and volcanos. Having never rode a horse before I was amazing that Hari had us galloping within an hour. This was me and my wife’s favourite part of our trip to Nicaragua and will planning to return to this amazing place as soon as possible.

A fun series of ziplines with great views across the lake, friendly staff and good safety equipment. With an hour to spare on our way to the ferry (20th Feb) we noticed the sign at the side of the road so we thought we call in to have a go. We weren't dissapointed. The staff were entertaining and helped us capture the experience with some great 'chase cam' videos. Only 20 mins drive from the Moyogalpa ferry with good views of both volcanoes too.

Used Gaby transport from Liberia airport to San Juan Del Sur, all went well, used again from SJDS to Managua to catch flight to Corn Island, also from Managua to Leon, Leon to SJDS and SJDS back to Liberia. Ricardo answers his phone when needed, and addresses concerns if any, not quite as quick on emails, did not get my emails at first so not sure what is happening with his website/emails. The prices are competitive, service impeccable, we will use his services again. Only a bit more expensive than renting a car, well worth it.

I spent 3 weeks in Playa Gigante and absolutely loved it! All the teachers there are extremely professional, catering to whatever level you are at, and have a great mix of group activities to get you meeting everyone else in the school. The owner Juan is an absolute legend and so helpful. He would organise anything you need and even for my partner's birthday made the class to be a cooking class instead where we prepared local food. The homestay with Marie Helena was also a stand out, she would love a chat at all meal times and would always make delicious food. Finally, this stretch of Nicaraguan of Pacific coast is stunning. Couldn't imagine a better location where your class overlooks the waves, and not to mention that you can easily surf twice a day and often not even have to share the waves! Easily a 5/5!
