Directions to Finca Ometepe and Ferry Information
FERRY INFORMATION
If you are a foot passenger, you do not need to make reservations.
If you are bringing a car, you MUST make a reservation, ideally a week or so before you plan to arrive on the island. Here is the information you need. You may need to call many times to get through on their line, but you will eventually get through if you keep trying. Unfortunately, we are no longer allowed to make reservations for guests because too many guests failed to arrive at the ferry on time and the company lost money. We know it if frustrating to keep calling, but we promise, Ometepe is worth it!
