Experience Volcano Surfing at El Coyol, Nicaragua

Tired: Ocean surfing. Wired: Volcano surfing.

While ocean surfing offers its own excitement, volcano surfing at El Coyol in Nicaragua takes adventure to a whole new level. This breathtaking private island villa provides a unique escape among the 364 islands formed by the eruption of the Mombacho volcano 20,000 years ago.

Owned by self-described British “soul seeker” Nicky Ray, El Coyol is available for rent and can accommodate up to eight guests. Ray first visited Nicaragua for her birthday in 2012, seeking a stunning and unspoiled destination, and fell in love with the beauty of the country.

“In my search for a life less ordinary, little did I know that I would have the biggest love affair of my life with this amazing place,” Ray remarked, highlighting the island’s unforgettable charm.

Nature Lover’s Paradise

The island is a haven for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the lake from the private dock or indulge in kayaking and fishing.

Volcano Surfing Adventure

However, the highlight of your stay will undoubtedly be the unforgettable volcano surfing experience. Here’s how it unfolds:

• Travel to Cerro Negro, Nicaragua’s youngest volcano located near León.
• Hike to the summit, where you can take in the breathtaking views after about an hour of climbing.
• Surf down the slope on a board resembling a snowboard, sitting down and gripping an attached handle.

Fortunately, if you tumble, the landing on the soft sand provides a gentle cushion, making this exhilarating experience worry-free.

After the thrill of volcano surfing, return to the bohemian-style villa adorned with warm wood accents, polished concrete, and rattan furnishings. Enjoy amenities such as plunge pools, outdoor seating areas, and yoga platforms that enhance relaxation.
