About La Ceiba for Solo Travelers
Honduras's adventure gateway where jungle rivers meet the Caribbean — solo travelers raft the Cangrejal, hike Pico Bonito's cloudforest, and catch ferries to the Bay Islands.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
La Ceiba is the jumping-off point for the Bay Islands and a rafting destination in its own right — the Cangrejal River rafting is excellent and groups solo travelers with guides. The Pico Bonito National Park hiking requires a guide. La Ceiba's Carnaval (May) is one of the most spectacular in Central America. Ferry to Roatán and Utila departs from here. Use care in the city at night.

Pico Bonito National Park
Nature
A mountainous national park rising steeply behind La Ceiba, covered in rainforest and cloud forest, with waterfalls, rivers and excellent birdwatching. The Río Cangrejal on its eastern edge is known for white-water rafting and river swimming. Hire a local guide for trails, as some are steep and unmarked.
