I traveled here with a friend to surf our brains out. We were not disappointed. We met Bryce and Nathan in Managua at the airport and they drove us back to Playa Gigante. Be prepared for a 2.5-3 hour drive there. On the way, Bryce made sure we stopped for some snacks, BEER and other refreshments. Once we got to... More

The thing that really stands out about Giant's foot is the extra care they take in everything they do. In all categories the people at Giant's foot choose comfort and quality over the cheapest solution. It really does feel like you are part of a family or close group of friends. I think what makes this difference is that everybody... More

GFS provided an amazing surf vacation. The all inclusive nature made it totally relaxing - clean rooms, tasty food, excellent surf guides, plenty of drinks, cheesy movies, and comfy hammocks. The surf guides know the breaks and conditions so well that they can really personalize your multiple daily surf sessions for your skill level and desired experience. If your paddling... More

GFS has an awesome restaurant w/ lots of variety, it's right on the beach, the rooms are very clean, and the staff are helpful and fun to hang out with. Playa Gigante just edges out Ometepe for the title of my favorite spot in Nica (haven't been to Playa Popoyo, though -- I hear it's just as good, if not... More

This was my second trip to GFS and the first for my traveling partner. GFS delivered another great vacation. The owners and staff make sure your have everything you need in this remote oasis. Lots of rum, naps, fireworks with the occasional hike to the foot for me. See you guys again soon. -Mike and Loren

because, like all selfish surfers, I wanted to keep this gem a secret: from the ez pick-up at the airport straight to camp, lunch, surf, dinner and tonas, the crew keeps the good times coming.
