Start Planning My Trip
Big Corn Island sits in the Caribbean off Nicaragua's eastern coast, small enough to circle in an afternoon but with enough to fill two full days. This extension places you at a beachfront hotel right on a curving white sand bay with the reef just offshore. Begin with a flight to Big Corn Island, where pristine white sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs await. Some parts of Big Corn remain uninhabited, so there is always more island to explore at your own pace.

Expand All

Day 1: Transfer to Big Corn Island

Transfer from Granada or Managua to Managua International Airport, arriving at least two hours before your flight. Board a one-hour domestic flight to Big Corn Island, where a transfer will take you directly to your hotel.  After check-in, enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the beach right in front of your accommodations. Explore Big Corn Island’s natural beauty, with its sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant reefs perfect for snorkeling and diving.

Day 2: Free day in Corn Island

Today is entirely yours. Snorkel the reef right off the shore, kayak along the coast, or book a water activity directly through the hotel. Big Corn Island is easy to explore at your own pace. Some parts remain uninhabited, so the further you go, the quieter it gets. In the evening, the hotel's beachfront restaurant and boat bar make for an easy end to the day without leaving the property.

Day 3: Transfer to Managua

After breakfast, transfer to the local airport for a roughly 90- minute domestic flight back to Managua. A shuttle with a Spanish-speaking driver picks you up on arrival and takes you to your hotel in Managua. The rest of your day is at your leisure to explore or relax before your departure the following morning.

Day 4: Return home

  • 1 Breakfast
On your final morning, a shuttle transfer takes you from the hotel to the international airport for your flight home

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
