You can find tiny natural wonders in every corner of Honduras, but some of the very best happen to be a part of Bay Islands department. This group of islands off the coast of Honduras is one of the country’s must-see attractions, and here are three islands that you shouldn’t miss for the world during your visit.

Roatán

Located between Guanaja and Utila, this is the largest island that the Bay Islands have in store. Roatán is best known for its beaches and dive sites with volcanic crevices, and it’s one of the most popular scuba diving and eco-tourism destinations in Honduras.

Guanaja

Mountainous terrain sets Guanaja apart from other Bay Islands, together with the extensive waterways that earned it the nickname the Venice of Honduras. Guanaja is home to several waterfalls and its clear waters make it a popular location for fishing, shrimping, diving, and snorkeling.

Utila

Utila is the smallest of the major Bay Islands, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful. It’s worth the visit for its white-sand beaches and rich marine life, starting with beautiful coral reefs surrounding the island. Passionate divers shouldn’t miss it for the world because it’s known as one of the world’s best dive locations.
