How safe is Honduras?

La Ceiba

La Ceiba is a city which I felt free to walk during the day with friends. At night when hanging out I didn't feel good to walk alone, it was ok if we were at least 3 and taking a trust taxi too but I wouldn't have been in all streets of La Ceiba.

Is Honduras worth visiting?

Travel rating

3.2 /5

based on 6 experiences from female travelers

La Ceiba, Group travel

La Ceiba isn't a place where I felt very safe. There are not so many things to do but the promenade in the seafront is nice and the weather can be too. It's easy and inexpensive to take a taxi to go around and easy to find food too.

Utila, Solo travel

Staying in Utila to do my Dive Master Training was a bit of a spontaneous decision and I am really happy everything went just as it did! Utila is a small island in the Caribbean side of Honduras, reachable by ferry from la Ceiba and Roatan. As its an Island everything is a bit more expensive than it would be on the main land but it’s affordable non the less. Everything is walkable, there are no cars but tucktucks, Motorbikes and RTVs. It’s a tight knit community so it it extremely safe, even walking home alone in the dark there was never a moment I didn’t feel 100% safe. Things to do: Obviously DIVING! Some say its a diving island with a party problem, there are a lot of Scuba and free diving French Water Cave (free) -> rent a navi to go to the Utila power company, leave the bike there and walk a few minutes to the Sinkhole where you can take a plunge, free dive and explore the caves. Dont forget a waterproof torch, Mask and snorkel. Neptune’s beach -> go to cheeps Beach, follow the Neptunes Sign, get on a boat for 80 lps that takes you thrrough a lagoon to an amazing beach to hang out under palm trees , snorkel, have drinks and food. Sunset Yoga on a dock for 100 lps/ hour -> join Yogis of Utila Facebook Group for weekly schedule Treetanik -> hard to describe, look up on google maps - Art park, place for party’s on the weekends, 50 laps entry throughout the day. Water Ceys -> day trip to outer Islands
