Calala Island Room-to-Picnic Lunch: Coconuts, Piña Calala, Fish Tacos & Beach Views | Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast
Justin Vacula of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast walks from his room at Calala Island to enjoy one of the island’s special picnic amenities, an upgraded private lunch setup delivered right outside his room.
He showcases fresh coconuts for drinking, a refreshing Piña Calala cocktail made with Calala Island’s signature flavors, a shrimp panzanella-style salad with fresh ingredients, guacamole and pico de gallo for fish tacos, champagne, and a full picnic basket.
Justin also highlights extra snacks that can be taken back to the room, including crackers, chips, dessert lollipops, nuts, candies, and Calala Passion Fruit Jam, celebrating 10 years of Calala Island.
The video also captures the beautiful setting, including beach views, coconut trees, beanbag seating, a decorative archway, a hammock, and even a fun Wilson Castaway ball decoration. This video offers a closer look at the food, scenery, and luxury private-island experience at Calala Island in Nicaragua.
