Day 1

Bienvenidos a Nicaragua

Welcome to your new beachfront home, a small fishing village on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua! Learn how to surf and immerse yourself in this beautiful community with your new local friends for the next week.

Days 2-7

Community Immersion

Wake up each morning to the sound of waves crashing on the beach then begin work on our English education and eco-friendly infrastructure projects. Immerse yourself into the community of Jiquilillo where you will soon feel like family. 

Day 8

Turtle Conservation

Support sea turtle conservation through a local hatchery and community leader we’ve partnered with for years. GIVE has helped with the release of over 1,000 baby sea turtles in our time.

Day 9

Volcano Boarding

Climb to the top of Cerro Negro, the youngest and most active volcano in Central America. Feel the tremors and radiating heat atop the volcanic arc before strapping in and gliding across black volcanic sand all the way to the bottom!

Day 10

Crater Camping

Summit Telica Volcano where you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner as the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean. Spend the night camping like never before – beneath the stars near the rim of a volcano.

Days 11-12

Extinct Volcanic Lake

Wake up on the shore of an ancient volcanic lake! Spend your morning kayaking and chilling out in the clear waters of Laguna De Apollo, formed 23,000 years ago from a volcanic explosion. After lunch, you’ll travel back to Managua for your flight home – or better yet, continue with us on the Costa Rica program!
