Relax in the laid-back Bay Islands of Roatan and Utila where you will find some of the most inexpensive scuba diving classes and trips in the world. Plunge into the warm Caribbean waters to swim with manta rays, tropical fish, bottlenose dolphins and even whale sharks if you are lucky. Get away from civilization and spend a few days (or weeks) lazing around on the beach eating freshly caught seafood with views of sparkling turquoise waters.
If you get stuck in Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula for the night, be sure to keep an eye on your surroundings and get going the next morning. Although it may be an interesting insight into the life of Hondurans, most big cities in the country are seedy places with few attractions for backpackers.
Enjoy the safety and charm of small towns like Copan Ruins located a kilometer from the archaeological site of the same name. Wander around this sleepy town and have an ice cream in the plaza while life sort of just floats by at a snail’s pace.
