Things to Do

If you are looking for more adventure or being in contact with nature, Iskra Travel can help you organize everything. Just contact us and tell us what you want to do.

Canopy Tours

This is a very exiting activity. The canopy tour is located on the border of a farm at the foot of a hill. Nature is abundant in the area, and you can see animals including monkeys, raccoons, birds, and other animals. The vegetation also creates a great setting. For a single person, it takes about 45 minutes to complete the whole canopy tour. There are many different cables, including slow, fast, short, and long parts. The longest cable is 328 meters; the highest one passes over a canyon measuring 70 meters deep; and at the fastest one you can reach a speed of 70 kilometers per hour.

Sea Turtles Watching

Just at 25 kilometers South of San Juan del Sur the Refugee of Wild Life “La Flor” is located. This is one of the two beaches of the Pacific coast that give us during the period of July-January the opportunity to appreciate one of the major spectacles of nature, as is the arrival and massive nestling of Paslama Turtle, characteristic at this time of the year.

 

Fishing and Snorkeling Trips

You can do this any day in the morning or in the afternoon any week day, and on weekends you can do the all day tour. The pangas (boats) have the equipment for fishing; but if you are interested in surfing or snorkelling during the trip then it will be necessary to rent surfboards, snorkels and masks in a surf store or at the same place. Fishing out of San Juan del Sur often leaves a memorable experience. Fish like marlin, sailfish, dorado, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna can be caught offshore. The inshore waters offer rooster fish, sierra mackerel, jack crevalle, bonitos, barracudas, snapper and grouper.

Surfing Trips

We can help you organizing surf trips to the best breaks like Maderas, Yankee, Escameca, Popoyo, Remanso, Manzanillo and Colorado. San Juan del Sur and its surrounding beaches are those places that offer everything a traveling surfer could want. There is consistent year round surf, warm water, and a chance to surf a great break all by yourself. Come and see why Nicaragua is the first destination of many travelers of all parts of the world. The best beaches, swells, reefs and breaks are located in the pacific south of Nicaragua. Surf lessons are also available.

 

 

 

Horseback Riding

Ride trails in the hills and see the petroglyphs or ride at south and learn about our Indigenous culture and see “ El museo de las Vasijas” in La Flor beach, where you can find archaeological pieces unearthed of our indigenous ancestors of the Pacific zone.

 

Spanish Lessons

San Juan del Sur is the ideal spot in Nicaragua to study Spanish. The classes will help you learn the language in an enjoyable and effective way while you immerse yourself in an exciting new culture in San Juan del Sur Bay. Students will have classes from Monday to Friday, from 8 in the morning to 12 noon with a 20-minute coffee break at 10 am. However, students may opt to begin their studies any day of the week.

 

Massage Therapy

Then, after an exhausting day of adventures, isn't a nice massage good for relax? It is. This will charge your batteries to continue exploring San Juan del Sur`s night life. You decide if you want to have it in your hotel room or to go to the massage center in town attended by well trained and professional staff.

 

Yoga

This is another good option for relaxing, achieving full harmony with yoga Pranayama and yoga Asanas. Meditation works remarkably well to help the mind to be in sync with the body. The meditative practice trough yoga helps in achieving an emotional balance and focus, allowing you to become less affected by the happenings around you, resulting in tremendous physical benefits, a remarkable calmness and a more positive outlook.
