   Nicaragua      " Located between 11 and 15 degrees north latitude, is squarely in the tropics."  

 

 Destination Nicaragua

"To go on vacation is not a waste of time, but rather a stimulus to perceive certain things and comprehend others."

- Domenico De Masi

Wing Shooting - Without a doubt Nicaragua offers "world class" quail, duck and dove shooting opportunities. And, our guides are Nicaragua's most experienced. They also have access to many private properties that are "off limits" to our shooters. A definite "value added" to our clients is that all of our shooting areas are with one to two hours from their accommodations. The bird dogs are well trained and the limits are plentiful. (Please see the accompanying photos and web site video.)

Our Nicaragua "in country" manager Sr. Adan Gaitan recently signed a contract with Barretta to supply shot guns and educational seminars for our safari clients.

Fishing - We offer sports fishing trips out of San Juan del Sur, the Corn Islands, and an increasing number of Pacific beach towns. Salt water sports fishing on the Pacific Coast is focused primarily on Sailfish, Shark, Tuna, Jacks, Snapper, and just about anything else that will "take a bite." Roosterfish Inshore waters and Bonito, sailfish and Mahimahi in offshore waters. All commonly reach size in excess of 50 LBS.

In addition to casting for Kingfish, Amber Jack, Red Snapper and Barracuda off the Corn Islands, bone fishing in the flats around Little Corn Island is definitely among the best in the world. The fishing here remains extraordinary! Fishing with spear, spear gun, or even with your hands. Lobster are everywhere! And, within a couple of kilometers of shore, you will find large schools of king fish, Dolphin, Amber jack, Snapper and barracuda.
And, our first rate and experienced guide will only increase your success.

Fly fishermen can catch tarpon and bone fishing right from the beach.

There are fresh water fish to be caught in Lake Apanas and El Dorado in Jinotega and in Lake Cocibolca and down the San Juan River. The giant fresh water Bull Sharks and Saw Fish are all but gone but mammoth Tarpon are still abundant as are Robalos and giant Tilapia.
