The Best Surf Retreat in Central America / Rise Up Surf Retreats

Surf & Yoga Retreat in Nicaragua
Our Destinations:
Nicaragua | Costa Rica | Guatemala | Barbados | Specialty Retreat in Nicaragua
Northern Nicaragua is Rise Up’s original destination where the owners of Rise Up have called home for over fifteen years. Our connection to the community and passion for this perfectly isolated surf spot in Nicaragua makes this one of the most authentic surf retreats in Central America!
Note: we currently run retreats in 2 different resorts in Nicaragua-make sure to check out our secondary Nicaragua location, Eco Bay Resort.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Surf
Surf amongst palm trees on the black sand beaches of Northern Nicaragua. From small long-boarding waves, to fast and barreling A-frames, surfing in Nicaragua is great for all levels and for anyone who wants to learn how to surf. The beach directly in front of the resort has a right and left point break and beach break in the middle. We are also a short drive from the famous “Boom”-one of the best waves in the world to learn how to get barrelled. Because of our isolated location, this is where you can surf the emptiest waves in Nicaragua, and we make sure to take you to the best breaks each day based on the conditions.
The Adventures
Learn how the locals do! Get to know the place where Rise Up began. Nicaragua is where much of our Rise Up familia staff call home, and we are very proud to be part of this community. The week is packed full of adventures so you can immerse yourself in the land of lakes and volcanoes.
Horseback ride on the beach and into the sunset
Get your adrenaline up and go volcano boarding-Nicaragua is one of the only places you can do this in the world!
Learn how to make tortillas the local way
Take a boat trip and wake surf through the estuary
Get involved with our NGO, Rise Up Kids!
The Food
Our food philosophy at Rise Up is centered around fueling your body properly for the week using fresh and local ingredients. Our chefs create delicious and nutritious meals that cater to every kind of dietary need. We enjoy all of our meals family-style in the open-air thatched roof dining area. We include 4 healthy meals a day, plus appetizers and dessert! You will surely face each day feeling happy and healthy.
