What is included?
Seven awesome day-tours in a budget-friendly package, you don't necessarely have to take all the tours in the same week:
Wednesday: The Punta Sal tour will take you by ferry across the bay of Tela, to an isolated and protected peninsula within Jeanette Kawas National Park - where you’ll hike through tropical forest alive with howler and white-faced monkeys, snorkel in the azure waters of coral reefs, and relax on the tucked-away beach of Cocalito.
Thursday: The Punta Izopo excursion will take you kayaking through the lush mangrove canals of the Rio Platatano. While exploring, you will spot monkeys, alligators, and an incredible variety of birds and butterflies, after which you’ll be transferred to the beautiful Garifuna village of Triunfo de la Cruz, right on the beach. Here you can try a typical Garifuna dish of fresh fish, coconut rice & beans, and fried plantains.
Thursday: Los Micos is a unique specialist tour, this excursion involves a launched tour by ferry of the country’s second largest lagoon, as well as an afternoon’s stay at the most typical Garifuna village in Honduras, Miami – both situated right on the ocean’s edge. The lagoon derives its name from the white-faced monkeys or ‘micos’ which frequent the mangroves. Laguna Los Micos is truly an astounding birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 350 species sighted. A tour of the channels and islets will reward you with both an eco-adventure, and the chance to see the skillful Garifuna fishermen at work, casting their nets.
