Great diving, friendly locals, cheap food and lodging, and all the time in the world to wander around: why on earth would you want to go anywhere else?

When To Go

On Utila, the rainy season is later than in other parts of Honduras, around September to December, with nortes (northerners - cool storms from the north) possible into February. Hurricanes are most likely from September to October, though they rarely hit directly. That said, a far-off hurricane can cause heavy rain, flooding or even minor mudslides. Travel is easier during the dry season, especially if you're keen on scuba diving; February and March are good months to visit because the weather is fairly stable.
