Discover the best of what Nicaragua has to offer – from its thrilling outdoor adventures to its gorgeous coastline – in style.

After spending a night in the capital, Managua, you will set off for Calala Island where you can happily fill your days basking in the sunshine and snorkelling alongside dazzling marine life. This is followed by a stay at Nekupe, a five-star retreat perfectly catered towards the outdoor enthusiast. You will be just 30 minutes from Granada, but will feel a world away in the midst of Nicaragua’s wild Pacific countryside. You’ll visit active volcanoes, discover unique plants and go zip-lining through the treetops.

There’s also time to explore the many attractions of Grenada, from its multi-coloured town houses to the Inglesia la Merced with its beautiful baroque exterior and elegant paintings. And where better to finish than on the Emerald Coast, where you will have untouched white beaches, turquoise waters, nature trails and a variety of water sports at your fingertips.

You will have three nights to enjoy the delights of this little piece of paradise, a luxury private island retreat tucked away in an undisturbed corner of the Caribbean. And with only 10 guests at any one time, you’ll have the island – with its swaying palm trees, gorgeous blue waters and sandy beaches – almost to yourself.

You will also visit the summit of Masaya Volcano, seeing the Santiago crater which has been active since 1946. The tour continues to Granada, a living museum to the opulence of the old Spanish Empire, before ending with a relaxing boat ride on Lake Nicaragua.

On the eighth day you will visit the mighty Mombacho Volcano, heading up to the 1,100 metre summit where you will be able to explore trails and witness the activity of the volcano.
