Ometepe Ferry Schedules 2025
To/From San Jorge (Rivas)
Duration: 60 min to the port of Moyogalpa (17 km), 80 min to the port of San José (24 km).
The lancha boats look a bit battered but they are safe and cost less than a ferry.
They don't operate on Sundays. Between November and February heavy winds make the water of the lake pretty choppy. If you are prone to seasickness better take the ferry.
The ferry schedule is always the same, also on holidays (Christmas, New Year, Easter).

Ferry to Granada and San Carlos (Rio San Juan)
No boats to Granada and San Carlos!
Depending on the water level of the lake, there is a ferry that runs from Altagracia to Granada and Rio San Juan. Currently (August 2023), however, the service is suspended again because the water level of Lake Nicaragua is too low. When the ferry is back in service, there will be only one departure per week from Granada at 5pm, arriving at the port of Altagracia around 10pm and then continuing its journey to San Carlos on the Rio San Juan.
