The engine growls and a plume of dust rises as you push off from the meeting point, buggies angling up a dirt spine of the island toward open ridgelines. Rainforest flanks the track—ferns and figs leaning in, birds calling like punctuation—while the sea glints beyond the palms, daring you to look away.

Protect against sun and dust
Use reef-safe sunscreen and bring a bandana or buff to keep dust out of your face when following other buggies.
Bring local currency
Small purchases at markets and tips for guides are easiest with Honduran lempira on hand.
