by air
This is the easiest and most reliable way to reach the Corn Islands as most major airlines fly into Managua, Nicaragua’s capital city. After clearing customs, immigration, and collecting your luggage, exit the terminal and head to the left. Here you will find a separate terminal building for La Costeña, the regional airlines, that provides service to Corn Island, and other locations within Nicaragua. If you arrive to Managua after 2pm, then you will have to spend a night before you can fly out to Corn Island. We recommend staying at either the Camino Real, or Best Western. Both are located close to the airport, and provide complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport.
3 Flights depart to Corn Island from Managua daily at 6:15am 11am and 2pm. Round trip tickets to Corn Island cost approximately $165 USD, current pricing can be seen on their website.
