Utila Island, part of the Bay Islands in Honduras, is a tropical paradise known for its stunning coral reefs and laid-back atmosphere. As the smallest of the three major Bay Islands, Utila has become a magnet for divers and snorkelers thanks to its position along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second largest coral reef in the world. The island offers visitors the chance to swim with whale sharks, which frequent these waters throughout the year. Beyond its underwater attractions, Utila boasts charming beaches, lush mangrove forests, and the quaint town of East Harbour where most of the island's amenities are located. The annual Utila Carnival in July brings vibrant parades, music, and dancing to the island. For those looking to explore more of Honduras, regular ferry services connect Utila to the mainland port of La Ceiba, making it easy to continue your journey to other Honduran destinations or neighbouring countries in Central America.
