TIPS & FERRY SCHEDULES

The following is a list of tips to help you maximize your enjoyment & experience. 

 

Recommended things to bring:

1. Flash light per person for at night

2. Insect repellent

3. Hat & sunscreen

4. Good walking shoes (in case you would like to hike)

5. Light weight rain jacket (primarily May - December)

6. Reusable water bottle (keeping hydrated is more difficult in the tropics)

​

Recommended apps to download:

1. Free map of Ometepe Island to use offline. We recommend Google Maps.

2. Free online translator (in case your Spanish is lacking. Online translators allow you to get around in all environments.

3. Whatsapp. Nicaragua is the land of 'Whatsapp' ;-) Most tour guides, restaurants that deliver and taxis use this and it is a wonderful & non-intrusive free resource.

​

Ferry Schedule:

You can find the ferry departure times here. We highly recommend the Rey de Cocibolca which arrives not only into the port closest to us but is also the largest, most comfortable and cheapest option! If you are arriving with a vehicle you will need a reservation for it. We are happy to help you with that. Just ask!

Callejon Las Palmeras (hacia Totoco Eco-hotel),
Balgue, Altagracia, Isla de Ometepe

Ferries to the island depart from the port of San Jorge which is a 25minute drive from the Costa Rican Border (Peñas Blancas), a 30minute drive from the San Juan del Sur & a 1 hour & 45 minute drive from Managua including the International Airport.

​

The ferries/ boats take 1 hour and 15 mintues to cross to the island.

Once on island we are 40minute drive from Moyogalpa & a 20minute drive from San Jose del Sur
Generally there are taxis waiting at each port to bring guests to their respective destinations. The standard to charge to Ananda Guesthouse is US$25 (total and not per person for up to 4 people in the taxi).

We can arrange taxi transfers to us, if you would like - just let us know at least 24hours in advance. No commissions charged!


 

In case you are bringing your own vehicle to the island, we recommend you obtain a reservation for the ferry. We are happy to make this for you. All we need to know is which ferry you wish to take to and from the island and what type of vehicle you are bringing (i.e. 4WD, mini bus, sedan).
