I had been to San Juan and heard I should do the "sunset booze cruise" but had no idea that meant my 3 girlfriends and I would have our own private small boat and 2 guides for the trip. You can bring your own bottle of wine otherwise they have rum and the classic Tona for you but the view... More

From the first time I contacted SJDS Surf and Sport I knew we were going to have a great experience. Dario was quick to respond to my many questions via email. We were a group of 10, ages 10-53 and everyone had a great time. This is a professional organization on all levels - even by American standards. I was... More

Dario the owner of SDSS is an incredible host. He and his crew take care of all the details and gave us the best vacation ever - filled with surfing, fishing and a little partying! More

My friends and I first went to Nicaragua in December 2011 to take surfing lessons with Dario and his team. In summary they were awesome! They delivered much more than we expected and made sure we had a wonderful experience. Their love of Nicaragua and San Juan del Sur is very obvious and the passion comes through by the way... More

This is my second trip to Nicaragua, the initial visit was with my buddies to learn surfing and explore a country none of us were very familiar with. It is a challenge with words to do the country justice as it's more than beautiful, safe, affordable, and a totally hidden gem. The big draw for us to return was the... More

I had two great experiences with San Juan del Sur Surf & Sport. First we went surfing on Hermosa beach, the lesson was ok but the beach was gorgeous and we caught some great waves. The 2nd was a sunset cruise led by Dario. He picked us up from our place, took us to the boat where everything was ready... More

Dario was very accomadating right from the minute I called him. We had a great time fishing and also on the sunset cruise. Captain's Allen and Luis were very knowledgeable and very personable. SJDS Surf and Sport is a must for anyone who enjoys a good time; rates were very reasonable. We will return the next time we are in... More

Dario and company run a tight ship. The dive briefing was on google earth and we were fitted with wetsuits before the short truck ride to the dock. Expect to get wet from the wind and surf hitting the small panga, but once underwater it's peaceful with lots to see in good visibility at 40ft.. Be aware that the Pacific... More

Four of us enjoyed a totally wonderful fishing outing, for a half-day, on the larger lancha. We were impressed with the professional team, all the way from the warm welcome by Dario, to the outing with Captains Alan and Louis. They spared no effort to make sure that all of us caught fish! Before we knew it, we had filled... More
