The smallest of the insular department of Honduras, Útila is the island closest to the mainland. The island is imbued with an atmosphere of piracy stories, along with the natural charms and daily life of the islanders. They have the largest number of diving schools under PADI certification, and at a low cost.

We dare to say that Útila is a sanctuary for the Whale Shark, the largest fish on the planet, and what to say about the beauty of the keys and the coral banks that surround it. For all this, Útila is a paradise for lovers of relaxation.

Among the main activities that can be carried out in Útila are diving and snorkeling, which are offered by the different internationally certified diving schools. Once the Open Water is done, you will find the key to this art, making you come back several times. Paddleboard (surf with rows), consists of sliding on a surfboard driven by rows. At the same time, here you will find places to practice yogapilates, and some Spas where you can improve your physical and mental conditions to continue enjoying the best way of life in Útila.

From the island, you can take the Tour to Cayos Cochinos, and you can also take a horseback tour to explore the island. For the conditions offered by the island and the keys, you can also do sport fishing, which practice is very relaxing. To learn about the life of the inhabitants of this small island, tours are offered where you get in touch with the islanders, very sociable and pleasant people that enjoy telling tourists their stories and adventures.
