Why do I purchase my own flight to and from the Managua Airport? Why doesn't a Spring Break Nicaragua trip include airfare? I've looked into group airfare booking, and the prices aren't cheap. For example, on Spirit Air, you can buy a RT ticket from DC to Managua for $350 (including taxes). That same flight costs $940 (not including taxes) if bought through group sales. How does Spring Break Nicaragua decide which meals and activities are included, and which are not included in the base price? There was much thought in crafting this trip to being as fair, efficient and cost-effective as possible. First, if an activity is something that everyone in the group will be participating in, it is included (such as touring the Masaya volcano). An example of an activity not included is the canopy zip tour in Granada; some may not want to partake for fear of heights, or for wanting to pursue other activities that day, such as Spanish classes. Therefore, in order to give more options to the individual, we have not included the zip-line tour in the base price. As for deciding meal inclusion, if the meal is planned to be at one specific restaurant or hotel, then we have included it, so that we might all eat together and enjoy the benefits of volume pricing. However, in many situations it is more pleasurable to enjoy free time around the town choosing where one would like to eat individually. Would You Spend Less If You Traveled On Your Own? Not if you wanted the same exposure to the best Nicaraguan experiences that we provide. Spring Break Nicaragua is a tag team of a Nica and and American bilingual guide offering you private transfers, quality hotels, admissions to parks, travel advice, and adventure activities. All of this leads to an efficient use of your limited vacation time so that you can experience the best sites in Nicaragua. When you combine this with our company's organization of the trips, our expertise with your itinerary and the convenience, comfort and safety of using our services, we are an exceptionally good value. Without a tour guide, you may spend hours trying to figure out how to take buses to where you need to go, you may be more likely to be charged "tourist" prices by the locals. Is it safe to travel in Nicaragua? What are the health and vaccination recommendations? What should I pack? How can I get to Granada from the Managua Airport if I join later than day 1? Public transportation – (<$2) Outside the airport you can take a public bus with a sign Huembes-Tipitapa (3 cordobas) then in the bus station in Tipitapa take a bus to Masaya (10 cordobas) and finally a bus from Masaya to Granada (10 cordobas).The bus from Masaya to Granada will leave you in the market which is four blocks south from Granada central park. The buses will be a little bit crowded. Enjoy the culture. Schedule a shuttle transport service – ($15-50)I suggest you Google search this option to choose your favorite transport service, but some places I have heard of are: http://www.orotravel.com/ and http://www.paxeos.com/ How can I get to the Managua Airport from San Juan del Sur if I want to leave early or later than the group? |
