HulaKai Hotel was originally founded by Tyler Tibbs on 12 acres in 2002 as the Parque Maderas, Center for Art and Ecology. He lived on the property for 3 years camping and building trails, working with permaculture concepts, learning the ecology of the area; back then those days were filled with fireside evenings, the original Maderas family dinners and usually a traveling musician. |

Nicaragua is renowned for its phenomenal surf, consistent waves, and year round access. Thanks to unique conditions created by offshore winds from Lake Nicaragua, the largest lake in Central America, you can count on world-class surf 300 days out of the year. Hulakai is located just five minutes uphill from Playa Maderas, which has hosted several international surfing competitions.
Maderas is something special, offering a perfect playground for the professional surfer and novice alike. If you are a beginner, take a surf lesson with experienced bilingual teachers who know the waves like the back of their hand. For the more experienced surfer, boat drops can be arranged to any number of exceptional beach breaks nearby. Surf lessons can be booked upon arrival. |

Set sail on a day trip or sunset tour. Depending on the season, you may catch a glimpse of whales, dolphins, or even sea turtles migrating along the coast. A boating trip is the perfect opportunity to relax at Sea and visit remote beaches nearby. Take a Pirate ship to the beautiful Playa Blanca, and watch the sun sink into the Ocean. If you are looking for something different, the elegant Catamaran is ideal. Embark on a whole day cruise that tours Playa Hermosa, where Survivor was filmed, or a half day sunset excursion. Lounge with your friends on this beautiful boat, all drinks and food provided, or jump in the water to snorkel and explore. |

FISHING The Nicaraguan coast is abundant with fish, such as Dorado, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Mackerel. The prime fishing season runs from April through November with inshore and offshore catches. During that time of year, the choice targets are Dorado, Sailfish, Roosterfish, and Mackerel. You can book you a full or half day fishing charter that includes a professional captain, all required gear, and food and beverage for your fishing excursion. If you are coming during off season, it’s still possible to fish inshore for Jack Crevalle and both Black and White Tuna. |
