Spend eight days fishing, exploring reefs, or just chilling in a hammock on Little Corn Island, off the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. Untarnished by the noise and congestion of cars, the island is the most pristine and least developed of the two Corn Islands. Sitting on a remote cliff at the ocean's edge, Casa Iguana is perfect for those who love a natural, private, and unspoiled island setting.

When you're not out scuba diving, snorkelling or soaking up the sun, be sure to enjoy the great seafood and local cuisine of this island paradise. Arrive on Little Corn at any time. There are no planned activities, so check-in at Casa Iguana and relax. You have 6 days to be active and busy every day...or just relax on the beach! Options for exploring this tropical island paradise include up to 5 SCUBA diving trips or up to 3 days of fishing and all-you-can handle swimming and snorkelling, just to name a few.

The Corn Islands are two Caribbean islands approximately 70 miles off the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. Once ruled by the British, they are now part of the Autonomous Region of Nicaragua, and are largely self-governed. They are still unspoiled by major development and have much to offer the adventurous traveller in the way of sights and natural beauty. The people here (who speak primarily English, as well as Spanish) are warm and friendly, and are genuine in their welcoming and helpful manner.

Little Corn Island, the most pristine and least developed of the two, isn't tarnished by the noise and congestion of cars. This works well here because the dive shop, the hotel, restaurants, and beaches, are all within easy walking distance of each other. Enjoy a wonderful, relaxed, and unspoiled Caribbean setting where lying in a hammock and enjoying the ocean breeze is a favourite local pastime. Little Corn Island is a tropical island paradise, far off the beaten path, unspoiled and completely unaffected by tourism. Little Corn Island is inhabited by 750 or so English-speaking people.

Waters here are teeming with marine life, and most islanders make their living off of the plentiful fish and lobster; when you're not out being active or soaking up the sun, be sure to enjoy the great seafood and local cuisine of this island paradise. Fishing on the island is extraordinary. Kingfish, dolphin, jack, snapper and barracuda abound less than a mile offshore. Fly fishermen land tarpon and bonefish right from the beach. And for those who prefer the view from under the surface, directly in front of Casa Iguana lies one of the finest snorkelling reefs in the Caribbean. On land there is just as much to experience: explore the many deserted beaches, hike the narrow trails through the surrounding hills and bush, or just visit with the friendly locals.

There are some 20 different dive sites located all around the island. The boat trip from the dive shop to the dive site takes between 5 to 15 minutes. Average depth is between 30 to 80 feet, which allows safe and long bottom times which often go 55 minutes or longer, air supply permitting. The conditions are excellent for the underwater photography enthusiast. Year round water temperatures average 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit) and visibility is around 50 feet.

The underwater scenery is varied and diverse. White Holes, for example, is a dive off the north end of the island. There are white sands, huge stag horn coral formations, plenty of nurse sharks sleeping on the bottom, eagle rays, porcupine puffers, spotted drums and schools of many other Caribbean tropical fishes. There is Shark Hole where black tip, reef and bull sharks swim with you as you navigate a network of caverns and swim-throughs underneath the reef. Tarpon Channel is a dive right in front of Casa Iguana. This cut through the reef has wild rock formations and overhangs, schools of eagle rays and lookdowns and, of course, Tarpon. On several occasions we've had close encounters with a large resident hammerhead shark and have the photos to prove it. Virtually every site provides the likelihood of spotting schools of barracudas, jacks, African pompanos as well as big kingfish, permit, cobia and more.

Special Comments Web Dossier code has changed from NSW to TCNNWN StartFinish ex Little Corn Island Transport Bus or Van, Walking A Couple of Rules Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for G.A.P Adventures Adventure travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or they use prostitutes.
About Accommodation A variety of accommodation standards are available for Independent tours, see your dossier for the accommodation class specific to your tour. Please remember that hotel/lodge/resort standards can be different from what you are used to in your home country, which is part of the appeal of adventure travel . Porterage is not included, but can be arranged directly at most hotels. About our Transportation Land Transfers & Included Tours/activities: Many of the land transfers and included tours will be by private van, car or taxi, while others may be shared with other travellers depending on availability, nature of the activity and destination.
