Tips for this trip
- Ferries (larger, carry vehicles with advance booking) cost about C$50; the smaller boats about C$35–45. The small boats do not run on Sundays.
- The ferry keeps the same timetable on holidays. From November to February the lake gets choppy: take the ferry if you get seasick. Sit on the left for the best volcano views.
- Foreign visitors pay a port entry fee of about C$37–39. Timetable from ometepenicaragua.com (2026); confirm at the dock.
This schedule is indicative: it comes from public information and traveller reports, not from a direct confirmation with the terminal. Arrive early and confirm the fare with the conductor. Travelled recently? Help us verify it.
