Honduras Tropical Explorer: Reef, Rainforest, & Mayan Ruins Tiny Honduras is an incredible feast of biodiversity—from mountainous tracts of pristine cloud forests to coastal lowlands, mangrove-lined lagoons, and the sparkling offshore reefs of the Caribbean. This multi-faceted adventure—a must for those with a genuine interest in the natural world—features hiking in Pico Bonito National Park, Honduras’s most unexplored national park; boat excursions in the largest manatee reserve in Central America; snorkeling some of the best reef systems in the world (where whale sharks are occasionally seen!); and exploring ancient Maya ruins at Copán, renowned for its fine stonework and inscribed hieroglyphics. Along the way you’ll enjoy special private tours with local conservation organizations, which no other company offers. Accommodations are in lovely lodges of style and comfort, boasting an airy ambiance, lush gardens, and indispensable hammocks—the perfect spot to unwind after an active day of exploring.
