Conseils
- Little Corn has no vehicles and no ATMs: bring cash in dollars and córdobas.
- The pangas wait for the La Costeña flights on Big Corn; if your flight is late they will still take you.
Ce que racontent ceux qui ont fait ce trajet
Managua to the Corn Islands without flying
They took the 11:15 a.m. bus from Managua's Costa Caribe terminal to Bluefields: C$320, an assigned seat and about 7 hours with two short breaks. Then the 9 a.m. ferry to Big Corn (C$255, 6 hours) was a perfectly smooth crossing on a glassy sea, with drinks sold aboard; the panga on to Little Corn is C$360. All for far less than flights at around US$200 each way.

Granada to Little Corn by land and sea
They went from Granada to Little Corn without flying: a bus to El Rama, a speedboat to Bluefields, the Río Escondido ferry to Big Corn and a panga, about US$40 in all against US$164 for return flights. They call it quite an adventure and actually quite fun. They planned 3 or 4 days on Little Corn, but with the diving, snorkelling and fresh fruit they stayed about 10.
