Little Corn Island, Nicaragua

+ went diving, stunning wildlife, and the bluest, clearest water of my life (also 29°C - like swimming in a bath!)

+ the entire place looks like a Corona ad

– damaged (possibly a minor burst) my eardrum in the very first day. No more diving for me. :(

- also this place is hotter than Satan’s armpit, and every moment spent out of the water is a wasted moment.

+ the ginger spiced rum currently being consumed (bought at Republika Bar in San Juan del Sur) is going a long way towards temporarily fixing all of the above, though.

Jason @tiptoelightlypastmymind tagged me recently* for an SDS, so here we are at Managua Airport, about to fly to the Corn Islands! *not recently. This is a lie.

Off-the-beaten-track: Islands Part 2

Off-the-beaten-track: Islands Part 2

Last week I wrote a post about some off-the-beaten-path islands in Southeast Asia I had the pleasure of visiting. This week I write about the rest. The most beautiful, weirdest, most off the beaten path islands. I hope that you enjoy this post as much I have enjoyed writing it.

I didn’t originally plan to visit the Corn Islands, but I’m so glad I did! Little Corn Island is a tropical paradise, has stellar scuba diving, and it’s possible to walk around the island in a couple of hours. Aside from horseback and biking, walking is your only choice as there are no roads/vehicles on the island!

To get here you can fly into Big Corn Island from Managua, and then catch a panga boat (see photos below) to Little Corn Island. There are stretches of undeveloped beach where you can relax, soak up the rays, and go snorkeling. While I was here I did 3 dives a day with Dolphin Dive, and enjoyed the great diversity of marine life, caves, tunnels, and gorgeous coral.

My lifestyle here was possibly the most chill of the entire trip. I would head out to the diveshop around 8:30am for my first dive, relax for 40 minutes, and do my second dive finishing around 12:30pm. I’d have lunch, snooze on the lounge chair, and go diving again at 2:30pm. Then I’d go to my hotel, get cleaned up, and meet up with some folks for dinner/drinks. Next day hit repeat, and somehow a week and a half disappeared!

I also spent 3 days on Big Corn for some diving and catching my flight back to Managua. Back to the mainland, and to the city of Granada!

Cheers, Shawn
