Approximately 15 miles west of Roatán and the same distance north of La Ceiba on Honduras mainland, Utila Island, with its old world charm and European flare has acquired a word of mouth reputation as a great scuba destination with a "must visit" stamp of approval. Utila is one of only a few places in the world where you have a real chance of snorkeling with a whale shark, the biggest and gentlest fish in the sea. From horseback riding, to outdoor bars and cafes and sandy beaches in quiet coves, you will find that going just a little out f the way pays off with big rewards.
