Little Corn Island | A week on a tiny Caribbean island in Nicaragua

[@rvairplanesrd]

The charm of the Caribbean, no matter where you go if It’s Caribbean is beautiful.

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Ricardi Vasquez the water was ridiculously clear and blue, although I do worry about the plastic pollution in corn Islands. It's not bad at the moment but could be.

[@tommybrown4191]

Enjoyed your video, thanks for posting. I lived in Nicaragua for seven years and visited Little Corn many times, it's paradise!

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Timmy Brown - glad you enjoyed it - I was amazed at how different Corn Islands were to the Pacific side. I've never gone to Puerto Viejo in Costa Rica but imagine it's a similar difference.

[@rvairplanesrd]

The fish prepared with coconut is very good, we prepare it like that too.

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Ricardo Vasquez so you also make it in DR? Do you do it the same way and also what do you call it?

[@rvairplanesrd]

@@WiththeSparrows yes we do, in spanish we call it Pescado con Coco, and its orogibaly from Samaná, north east of the island.

[@WiththeSparrows]

@@rvairplanesrd good to know. I guess their name was in Creole and not Spanish.

She was so comfortable swinging that big blade so close to her hand! You can tell she's a great cook who's been doing it for a long time 😁

[@josemartines1949]

que linda la pesca deseara estar ahi

[@WiththeSparrows]

Si, me encanta la pesca ahi, el agua también...es muy muy claro!

[@orlandobenavides7951]

Wow,how nice to enjoy life on that beautiful island.

[@BW-pr8qr]

My brother in law bought a beach house on Little Corn, I can't wait to go!

[@WiththeSparrows]

@BW oh wow, you should definitely get yourself over there then!

[@fstcsvn]

is your in law nicaraguan?

[@andrewp5845]

Went years ago stayed at the lighthouse this was a nice vid to reminisce

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Andrew P - haha I rematch it the other day and thought the same thing. Little Corn is a nice place to relax! I imagine that it was even less built up a number of years ago?

[@andrewp5845]

@@WiththeSparrowsMaybe slightly less built up, still seems quiet which is good. I remember when went snorkeling/fishing there were only 2 guys that could bring you and they didn't have fishing rods, only fishing line with a hook 😂

[@WiththeSparrows]

@@andrewp5845 not too far off from what jt is now, we only had one fishing rod between three so most of it was by hand.

[@andrewp5845]

@@WiththeSparrows I really want to go back Nica is one of the my fav places. Surfing in San Juan, Volcano boarding in Leon etc great humble people that live there such an amazing place. Thanks again for the vid ☺️

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Rita Luquez - absolutely

[@manuelalfaro3078]

Loved the vlog! When did you get there, which month? Just wondering since it seems you got such a good weather. I live in northern Costa Rica, so it's not a long drive from here, there is a ferry boat ride available from Blue Fields, Nicaragua (Not sure, but it goes from 10$ to 20$ pp, if you are on a small budget go for it). In Costa Rica caribbean gets sunny and quiet cristal clear tide just for their summer, which is crazy bc it is right in the middle of the very intense rainy season for the rest of the country, that goes from mid-aug to oct, so that's why I'm really interested on your dates while visiting there...

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Manuel Alfaro - thanks! We were there in late May I believe. Yeah the ferry from Blue Fields is much cheaper, although I don't know how long it takes?

[@xabyrom4310]

6.5 hours

[@cesaralvaradodiaz5959]

Estan hablando de Nicaragua cuando le toque a Costa rica ahí valdría tu opinión y no la de los nicaraguenses saludos en Español para buen entendimiento

[@jordyskateboardy]

Looks amazing! We are planning to go soon as well. We saw you traveling with surfboard before. Did you manage to store your surfboards in Managua, and if so, do you know a good place to do so? Thanks a lot! Its been fun following this journey as were currently doing a very similar trip!

[@edwinghuembes8974]

Ya estuve allí es hermoso

[@andresmarioruizchavarria8980]

NICARAGUA BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY 🇳🇮👍🚣‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚢🦈

[@PartofLea]

I am currently on Little Corn Island and we’d love to cook the pescado con coco at the same place you did. Do you have any information where you booked it or how you got there? Loved your vlog!

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Lea you can ask the guys that take you out fishing from Little Corn B&B. Alternatively just walk about 200m up the beach (North) from Little Corn B&B and the place is right there on the beach. Maybe look out for the area where I sat and ate it - there isn't much else around there so hopefully you can find it!

[@BrentHartleyTravel]

Really enjoy all the videos you've been putting out. Hope you keep it up! We used your tips for La Fortuna last week and had a great time.

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Brent Hartley that's ace, glad they were useful and yeah, trying to create one a week at the moment. Did you see any sloths in La Fortuna?!!

[@dontcareanything]

You guys missed out Floo beach!

[@Jayson-2020]

Good to know there is no power from 6am-1pm. Are there enough vegetarian options for food?

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Jayson 2020 yeah I believe that most of the restaurants (including the ones in the description) do vegetarian options. Big corn has more restaurants but we found the food to be better on little corn. When are you going?

[@JaysWorldTravels]

@@WiththeSparrows I will go in September as soon as Spirit starts flying to Managua. Right now, only Avianca flies there from MIA.

[@WiththeSparrows]

@@JaysWorldTravels that's ace. You'll really enjoy it. Visiting anywhere else in Nica? Masaya volcano, Masaya volcano, Masaya volcano........

[@langlaisjules8930]

Any chance you can some surfs spots in March/April and rent a board? thanks!!

[@realmantelinda]

Price?

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Ana Galan - what for? Hotel was $90 per night (beach shacks are $25), flights about $180, snorkeling $20 per person.

[@andreasilva9938]

Which was the name of the hotel?

[@WiththeSparrows]

@ANDREA SILVA It was called Little Corn B&B: www.littlecornbb.com I thought I had included that as a little text pop up but apparently I didn't! Unless you are talking about the more expensive one?

[@ronaldluna6709]

I think the cabaña 🛖 is nice but too expensive 300 dollars a night, if you go to Dominican republic is 100 dollars a night and nice resort including food good service, i think that's an abuse with the price, nice video 👍

[@WiththeSparrows]

@Ronald Luna - completely agree, $300 is a little ridiculous, though we were very happy with the place that we stayed in.
