Please let us know how to travel from PLacencia to La Ceilba when we can’t wait to take the once a week ferry.
Thank you

The ferry leaves at 9:30 on Fridays. It goes from Placencia to Puerto Cortes. At Cortes the owner of the ferry has a van that can transfer you to La Ceiba. It costs $25US. And you will be in La Ceiba at around 6pm. It is cheaper to take the bus to San Pedro Sula and then on to La Ceiba but you won’t get there till about 11pm. I strongly suggest paying the few extra dollars and taking the minivan. The minivan will take you to immigration, ATM if needed and deliver you right to your hotel. Hope that helps—Fiona
