If you’re planning to island-hop through Honduras and then continue south into Nicaragua, the question isn’t just “is it possible” — it’s how to do it without piecing together three or four separate buses and border crossings on your own.

The direct route

We run a direct shared shuttle from La Ceiba, Honduras straight through to León and Managua, Nicaragua for $85 per person. It’s a single ride — no changing vehicles at the border, no guessing which second or third bus continues south.

The schedule

This route runs once a week: departing La Ceiba Wednesdays at 5:00 PM, with the return trip leaving Managua Wednesdays at 10:00 PM. Because it’s a fixed weekly departure rather than a daily one, it’s worth building your travel dates around it rather than assuming you can leave any day.

Who this route is for

This works well if you’re wrapping up time in the Bay Islands or along the north coast and want to continue overland into Nicaragua without flying, or if you’re coming from León or Managua and want a direct link up to La Ceiba and the ferry docks to Roatán or Utila.

How to book

Every route on our site books directly through WhatsApp. Send us your travel date and we’ll confirm your seat on the next Wednesday departure.

The bottom line

Getting from Honduras to Nicaragua overland usually means multiple connections and long waits at the border. Our direct La Ceiba–León–Managua shuttle turns that into one scheduled ride, once a week, for a flat $85. Message us on WhatsApp to lock in your seat for the next departure.
