Honduras What to Expect

One of the best dive spots in the Caribbean, and cheap (10 dives US$20 a dive typically). Catch the ferry from La Cieba, get a taxi to West End. There are tons of funky little bars and restaurants, and a lot of dive schools, which encourages competition. I used Coconut Tree Divers, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Oh, and because Roatan was settled by slaves dumped by the British, everyone speaks English not Spanish. Only downside I could find was that the beach has a lot of sandflies.

Copán ruinas, beautiful archaeological site. The town itself is also nice, cool, calm, relaxing....

To Utila island there are two ferries a day:
9.30 am and 4 pm. From Utila they leave at 6.20 am and 2 pm.

There is a free guide "Honduras tips". You will find every information in that little book. Hotels, ferry timetables, activities and much more... very helpful!

If you wish to dive Crosscreek Dive Center provides also free rooms to stay and free internet! (2007)
There are double rooms, rooms for 4 and 6 people.

This place is beautiful! There's so much to do and see! Make this one of your top ten on your list in seeing the world! You'll thank me later :)

This is a major city in Honduras.  An interesting place with lots to do, you just have to be smart about traveling there.  The downtown market is pretty interesting, be aware of your surroundings, keep valuables out of sight.  Don't walk around with a lot in your hands and you'll do fine.  The main bus terminal is a cool place to visit too.
