International flights to Managua are available with United Airlines, American Airlines, Avianca, Copa and Aero Mexico. Please check with your travel agent or the individual airline carriers for current schedules.

step two: fly to big corn island

Flights from Managua to Big Corn Island are operated by La Costeña airline, which is right next to the Managua Airport (Augusto C. Sandino International Airport). When you exit the Managua Airport doors, turn left and walk to the end of the airport, and you will see the La Costeña terminal. (5 minute walk). You can book your La Costeña flights online www.lacostena.com.ni or via a phone call +505 2298 5360. You can ask for an English speaking assistant. If you have any issues please contact us at reservations.yemaya@colibriboutiquehotels.com and we can assist you with this process. Return flights cost around $170 – $200 USD per person and are non-refundable.

Your flight ticket price does not include airport taxes ($10 USD per person), which can be paid directly at La Costeña’s check in area. It is advised that you make reservations in advance, as seats can be limited at last minute (especially during busy periods). Please note that you can only take 30 lbs of checked luggage and a single carry-on with you. More than this will incur a charge of $1.20 USD per additional pound.

Please be aware that flights from Managua sometimes stop on the way to Big Corn Island at Bluefields airport for 10 to 15 minutes to let passengers on or off.

step three: boat to little corn island

Once you land at Big Corn Island airport there will be taxis waiting to take you to the wharf, from there you can catch the public panga which leaves Big Corn Island at 4.30pm, and for the return journey, leaves Little Corn Island at 6.30am daily. The cost is $10 USD per person each way. When you arrive at Little Corn Island there are no motorized vehicles but we can arrange a water taxi to take you from the public wharf to Yemaya Reefs at a cost of $10 USD per person. Or speak to us ahead of time to arrange transportation directly from Big Corn Airport to Yemaya Reefs for $34,50 per person each way.

PLEASE NOTE: The boat crossing can be cancelled due to bad weather. The ride can be bumpy with the chance of getting wet depending on the sea conditions, so please be prepared for this. If you suffer from seasickness we suggest taking anti motion sickness pills before the journey.
