For families looking for an under-the-radar Central American vacation as well as a bargain, Nicaragua is one of the best options out there. Its rough edges are exactly what makes it appealing. Take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the historic capital of Granada, or go on a kid-friendly hike through a cloud forest, spotting monkeys as you walk. You can even go sandboarding down the side of a volcano, sure to cause shrieks of joy. Mix all this adventure with relaxing days on the beautiful beaches, or if the kids still have energy to burn, book a surf lesson. We recommend a kid-friendly property that reflects the culture and natural beauty of Nicaragua, such as a luxury ranch with lots of amenities in a serene setting.

Our Happy Travelers
"Katie planned the perfect trip. We all agree it was the best trip we've had, and the hotels were some of the best we've stayed in. We found that with a baby, it was only possible to get through about half of the suggested itinerary each day, which was great because it gave us options. We took time each night to debate what we would do the next day, and really enjoyed having those possibilities laid out for us.​"

Coronavirus Update

This is a challenging time for our clients given the uncertainty around the spread of coronavirus, particularly for those with near-term travel plans in impacted areas. We’re working with our suppliers on being flexible with their booking conditions, and enabling families to postpone travel to a later date without a penalty, when possible. Likewise, given the unpredictability around destinations that may be impacted in the future, we’re helping clients planning new trips and understand ways that they can protect themselves until the situation improves. We are ready to help our clients work through questions and concerns.
