How to Plan a Last-Minute Surf Trip to Nicaragua
You don’t need months of planning to score waves in Nicaragua. Thanks to easy access, consistent surf, and surf camps that handle all the details, you can decide today, and be surfing at Miramar Surf Camp tomorrow.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to planning a surf trip to Nicaragua, even at the last minute.
1. Book Your Flights (It’s Easier Than You Think)
The main entry point is Managua International Airport (MGA), with direct flights from Miami, Houston, and other U.S. hubs, plus connections from Europe, Central America and South America . From there, you’re just a few hours from Miramar SurfCamp.
Pro tip: Flying into Costa Rica? You can also connect by land. Our team can bring you straight to our door.
2. Pack Smart and Light
Don’t stress if you can’t overpack. Nicaragua has warm water year-round, so all you need is:
- A couple of swimsuits
- Reef-safe sunscreen
- Surf gear (or rent with us hassle-free)
- Flip-flops, light clothes, and a hat
- Passport + cash for small expenses
Leave the rest, we’ve got boards, wax, and daily essentials here.
3. Let Us Handle the Transfers
Worried about how to get from the airport to the waves? Don’t be. At Miramar, we arrange private transfers directly from Managua, León, or even Costa Rica. No crowded buses, no confusion, just straight to the surf.
4. Choose Your Package
With all-inclusive options, planning is simple. Packages at Miramar SurfCamp include:
- Accommodation steps from the beach
- Three meals daily (healthy and hearty)
- Daily surf sessions and boat trips
- Optional yoga and coaching
No need to worry about logistics. It’s all taken care of.
5. Arrive, Surf, Repeat
The best part of planning last minute? The second you arrive, you can drop your bags, wax your board, and paddle out. With consistent waves over 300 days a year, you won’t miss a session.

Life’s too short to overthink your surf trip. Whether you’ve got two weeks off or just a few days, Nicaragua — and Miramar SurfCamp — make it easy to turn spontaneous ideas into unforgettable sessions.
