GETTING HERE FROM THERE First
find your way to Managua. You can come overland from neighboring countries or fly directly to the Managua International Airport
(MGA).
Many airlines fly to Managua, here are a few:
When you reach Managua you can stay at either of two associate hotels. When making your reservations, just ask for the Little Corn Beach and Bungalow rate to receive our lower negotiated rate for our special guests. Getting to Little Corn from Managua:While you are in Managua, we can help you arrange safe and reliable transport in Managua and to other destinations such as Granada, San Juan Del Sur and Leon. Just get a hold of us and let us know you would like help. Or call Rogellio, our english speaking associate at 001-505-8-623-4460, he or his brother Claudio can help with safe reliable transportation. Let him know you are staying with us.The simple and fastest way to get to Little Corn Island is to fly La Costena, Nicaragua’s regional airline direct to Big Corn. You can book the round trip flight that cost around $165US by calling 011-505-2-263-2142 (if you need to, ask for an English speaking agent “Habla engles, por favor?”). Or, you can email the owner of the airline, Julio Caballero at jcaballero@lacostena.om.ni. Mr. Caballero speaks English and is willing to help. Let him know that you are coming to LCI to stay at Little Corn Beach and Bungalow. La Costena accepts Visa, MC and US dollars. Their web address is, lacostena.com.ni. La Costena’s schedule as of November 2009 is: Managua to Big Corn Island (BCI): Depart 6:30am and 2:00pm BCI to Managua: Depart 8:30am and 3:00pm  Big Corn to Little Corn:After arriving at Big Corn Airport retrieve your bags and ask one of the local cab drivers if they will take you to Brigg Bay to catch the Panga to Little Corn. But, before you depart the airport we recommend that you go into the departure terminal and confirm with the La Costena representative behind the desk your departure reservation.The cab ride to the Panga takes less than 10 minutes and costs $1US per person. You will be expected to pay a 3 cordoba harbor tax once you cross through the gate after the cabbie drops you off. Proceed straight ahead to the dock. On your right you will see a lower dock that should have the Panga waiting. Panga schedule:  We are frequently asked if you need to stay on Big Corn the night before an early morning flight back to Managua.
For our opinion. LC to BC: Departs 7am arrives 7:30am BC to LC: Departs 10am arrives 10:30am LC to BC: Departs 2pm arrives 2:30 pm BC to LC: Departs 4:30pm arrives 5pm The Panga costs $110C or $7US one way. They will collect the toll once you are seated on the boat before departure. We have always felt safe leaving our bag with a crew member or the Captain of the Panga. Be sure to take your passport with you! If you have time, you can go to Fishers Cave (right outside the gate on the right) for breakfast, lunch, a beer or coffee. Let us know when you will be arriving. If you do, we can have someone meet you at the dock to bring you down our “street” to your tropical island paradise. If you don’t and you sneak up on us, or you are just going to drop by to see if we have a casita available, anyone on the dock can direct you our way. We are new on the island so you can ask for help to either Little Corn Beach and Bungalow or Mr. Scot or Miss Kristine’s hotel on the beach side. You can also hire someone on the dock to help you with your bags for a small tip. See you here when you “reach”. |
