Best time to visit Little Corn Island:

December to April (Dry Season/High Season):

  • This period is considered the best time to visit most parts of Nicaragua. The weather is dry, sunny, and comfortable, with temperatures ranging from the 70s to 90s Fahrenheit (21-32°C). It's ideal for beach vacations, exploring historical sites, and outdoor activities. Rainfall is minimal during this time, offering clear skies and excellent conditions for volcano hikes. However, it's also the high season, so prices for accommodations and tours may be higher, and popular destinations can be crowded.

May to November (Rainy Season/Low Season):

  • The rainy season in Nicaragua brings warmer temperatures and increased humidity, along with afternoon rain showers and occasional heavy rain. While the rainfall can be substantial, it usually doesn't last all day. This is the low season, offering lower prices on accommodations and fewer tourists. It's a great time for budget-conscious travelers and those seeking a quieter experience. The countryside is lush and green during these months.

June to November (Hurricane Season):

  • Nicaragua is in the hurricane-prone region, and the hurricane season runs from June to November, with the peak from August to October. While hurricanes are relatively rare in Nicaragua, there is still a risk, especially on the Caribbean coast. Travelers should monitor weather updates and be prepared for possible disruptions, especially if visiting coastal areas during this period.

Specific Interests:

  • If you're interested in surfing, consider visiting the Pacific coast from May to October when the waves are typically larger and more consistent.
