HN, Honduras

Honduras' Roatán delivers Caribbean dive resorts at a fraction of Cayman prices, Copán's intricately carved Mayan stelae rival Tikal, and the Mosquito Coast's rainforest covers 20,000 square kilometres.

Highlights

When to Visit

Feb-Apr

Dry season on the Bay Islands with Roatán and Utila diving at peak visibility, and Copán's stelae carvings sharp in dry-season light.

May-Jul

Rainy afternoons in the interior, Bay Islands largely unaffected, and whale shark season around Utila peaks late February through April.

Aug-Oct

Hurricane season peaks September on the Caribbean coast. Bay Islands rates drop and inland Copán reliably accessible.

Nov-Jan

Hurricane risk fading, dry season returning, and Roatán's high season ramping up by mid-December for the Christmas holiday rush.
