Please click on 'read more' for more details

                                                 
From the USA
There are daily international flights with American Airlines from Miami, with Continental from Houston, and Delta from Atlanta, to San Pedro Sula and Roatan, Honduras.

From Europe
There are flights from London, Madrid, Düsseldorf, Paris, on a daily basis to Miami or Houston, from these cities the airlines will have partners and onward connections to take you to either San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa, we recommend arriving in San Pedro Sula.  It is possible with Iberia (from Madrid) to fly direct to Guatemala city and then take the Hedman Alas bus from Guatemala city each day (5am and $60) to La Ceiba, Honduras, this journey takes 12 hours and is ideal for citizens who need a visa to transit through the USA.

For travel from USA/Europe to Central America, it is best to contact the airlines direct, and Continental, British Airways, Iberia, KLM, Lufthansa and American Airlines all have flights to the USA and then onward connections/partners that fly into San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa, Honduras. We also recommend using search engine Expedia www.expedia.com.


Once in Honduras...
If you arrive in San Pedro Sula by 1pm you can usually catch the daily flight to La Ceiba with SOSA Airlines (+504 4253161 or ), tickets can be purchased at the check in desk on the day, though we recommend organize a reservation. There is also a 4pm flight to La Ceiba with Islena airlines (www.flyislena.com) though this will mean spending a night in La Ceiba. If you get the flight at 2.30pm to La Ceiba and it is on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, then you will also be able to fly that same day at 3.30pm to Utila with SOSA ($120 one way). If you arrive in La Ceiba by 3.15pm and there are no onward flights to Utila that day then you can take a taxi from the
airport ($15) to the ferry terminal where there is a ferry, Utila Princess, which leaves La Ceiba at 4pm and arrives in Utila 5.00pm ($20 one way).

If you arrive in San Pedro Sula late and have to spend the night there then the Metrotel Inn and Suites (+5045590300 or ) have rooms for about $65 per night with free breakfast and internet, the Metrotel is a $15 ride from the airport. Another option once in San Pedro Sula, is the Hedman Alas 1st class bus service (+5045531361 or info@hedmanalas. com), that departs each day at 6am, 10am, 2pm and 6pm from the Hedman Alas terminal, tickets cost $25 and the journey takes 3 hours to La Ceiba.

If you’re flight takes you into the airport of Tegucigalpa, then you can also take a daily flight at 1-2pm to La Ceiba with SOSA airlines $90 one way (+504 4253161 or ), or if you arrive late then you can stay in the ‘Hotel Paseo Miramontes’ (+5042391855 or ) which costs about $55 per night and is 10 minutes taxi ride $15 from the
airport. There is also a Hedman Alas 1st class bus from Tegucigalpa (+5042377143 or ) to La Ceiba costs $40, departs daily at 05:45am, 10.00am and 1pm and takes about 6 hours.

If you arrive in La Ceiba and are unable to fly to Utila or connect with the ferry in time 9.30am and 4pm, then we would recommend staying at the Gran Hotel Paris (+5044432391 or ) $30 a night, this is a $10 ride from the airport.

Once you arrive in Utila...
From the ferry dock crossroads, just head 5 minutes up the hill to reach the Mango Inn, or turn right and walk 10 minutes to find Utila Dive Centre on the right hand side, if you have a lot of baggage then we can arrange to meet you with a truck. If you arrive by the airport there are plenty of taxis available, juts tell them the Mango Inn, or Utila Dive Centre for about $2 per person.

All reservations within Honduras can be assisted by our staff at Utila Dive Centre, please feel free to let us know your requirements.

Please note: All travelers need a passport valid for at least 6 months to enter Honduras. A 90 day tourist visa is issued by the immigration at your entry in the country and you can renew that visa an additional month up to 4 months stay in total.
