ADVENTURE FOR THE SOUL
Beachfront lodging in Nicaragua starting at just $16 per night.
An affordable, beachfront surf camp and hostel in Nicaragua.
Welcome to SOLID Surf Camp and Hostel in Nicaragua where you can join us for surf, yoga, adventure, and volunteering. Rates start at just $16 per night for lodging with package add-on options ranging from $25-40 per day (which is added to your desired lodging cost). We are located beachfront (literally steps from the surf - no boat needed!) with no crowds, waves for every level and surf spots that break at both low and high tide. With varying accommodations (both dorms and private rooms), activities, and ammenities – like a beachfront yoga deck, hammocks, rocking chairs, and beach bar – there’s something for everyone in the group to enjoy.
Surf Opportunities to Learn Inspire and make a Difference
At SOLID, our vision is to create a successful cross-cultural experiential travel company that provides economic opportunity in the under-developed community of El Transito, Nicaragua while keeping social conscious, integrity and professionalism at the forefront of our business.
Accommodations for every budget.
Choose between a dorm bed or private room (both offered with or without air conditioning) and whether you'd like to add a package.
DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF GREAT SURF
We are just steps from four of the most consistent and un-crowded surf breaks in Nicaragua. No need for boat trips when there’s waves for every level, options at every tide and no crowds (but if you want to explore by boat, we can do that too!). And with on site activities for the whole group to enjoy, you can surf as long as you want without ever leaving anyone behind!
JOIN US FOR BEACHFRONT YOGA
Whether you’re setting up your own yoga retreat, doing your own practice, or joining us for a weekly stay, enjoy sunrise, sunset and/or under the stars yoga on our open, beachfront yoga deck.
*Please inquire about class availability for your stay as availability varies throughout the season.
CONNECT WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
We believe the best way to connect with a community is to immerse yourself within it by lending a hand and volunteering. That is why we have partnered with our local NGO, NICA Fund, to create volunteer activities for our guests that support year-round sustainable programs. This provides flexibility enabling guests to choose how long and how often they would like to volunteer while visiting Nicaragua.
*Volunteering is an activity for paying guests, we do not offer accommodations in exchange for volunteer work with exception of a yoga instructor.
EXPLORE A COLONIAL CITY & SANDBOARD DOWN A VOLCANO
Take a break from the beach to explore a colonial city and/or one of the many volcanos in Nicaragua. Choose an adventure; options include visiting Leon, Masaya or Granada, and activities like sandboarding down Cerro Negro volcano, a rum factory tour, zip-lining the base of Mombacho volcano, or visiting Masaya volcano to see lava at night!
"Went on a solo trip and had an amazing time at Solid Surf. Stayed for a week and met some amazing people from all over the world (france, germany, canada, etc.) Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Best waves I've ever surfed with offshore winds and consistent with any tide throughout the day. El Transito is definitely a gem. Will be back soon!"
