Rules in force · 6Do not walk the main road after darkSand and broken paths
  • Honduras ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Honduras's migration authority or a Honduran consulate; the CA-4 agreement with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua can make your permitted stay count across all four.
  • Honduras ↗Transit San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa by day and with pre-arranged transport; do not use public buses between cities.
  • Bay Islands ↗Do not touch coral or take shells; check the safety record of any dive shop.
  • Roatán ↗Do not walk the main road after dark: it is unlit and has no pavement. Book a taxi or stay in the village where you sleep.
  • Roatán ↗Sand and broken paths: bags go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.
  • Roatán ↗Do not touch coral or take shells: use reef-safe sunscreen and check the safety record of any dive shop.
