i happily spent days just lazing on the hammocks, walking the amazing beach, swimming in the tidal pools, watching sunsets and waiting for Chilo's amazing food. After spending 6 weeks in Nicaragua, i can easily say her cooking is the best i've had. Beg her to make her special potato salad with eggs and tomatoes - delicious! Rooms are comfy... More

This place was, hands down, the best surf camp I've ever been. Jon and Dave go out of their way to customize the trip for their clients. I haven't surfed regularly for 8 years so the guys took extra care to take me to some more forgiving breaks so that I wouldn't get the crap pounded out of me. The... More

First off, two girls traveling alone is always a crapshoot with not knowing what we were going to be getting ourselves into... but luckily i can say, it could not have been better. Dave and John were fantastic - two really chill guys that knew what we were there for and completely took care of everything we needed. I felt... More

Greensurf is a well run and very accomodating surf camp. I got incredible waves almost everyday for ten days and I was able to work out a great meal plan which met my picky standards beautifully. Chilo the cook is amazing! Our guides Dave and John were also cool guys to hang out with as well as wonderful guides. Their... More

I can't say enough good things about the Green Surf Nicaragua staff. These guys went above and beyond every single day to make this the best surf trip of my life. My friends and I got incredible surf pictures of professional quality because Dave patiently documented every session even if it meant he didn't get a chance to paddle out.... More

I've travelled everywhere to surf and this was easily the best trip of my life. It was my second time with the Greensurf crew, and for good reason. They have the place totally wired. There are great waves out front but they know where to take you when the surf gets even better. The amenities are great, the surf is... More

....and if you cant keep up with the endless barrels...There is hiking, fishing, snorkeling and local entertainment!!!! But back to surfing... I stayed there for a week in early May. Jon and Dave really know the place like the back of their hands. Dave moved to Nicaragua two years ago with a vision and two feet, searching for the hidden... More

Green Surf is a definite fun surf location. I spent over five months traveling around Nicaragua to many surf locations and to this day Green Surf in El Transito is still one of my favorite surf spots. It is an all around great choice for anyones next surf trip. There are two breaks right in front of the property with... More

Beautiful beach in a small fishing town, excellent food by the one and only Chilo, clean accommodations and great waves. Can't ask for much more than that. Always felt safe, welcome, and well taken care of. I would recommend seeing this part of Nicaragua before the secret's out. More
