GETTING TO GUANAJA

Arriving in Guanaja may be the biggest challenge that is holding
it back from being the next top Caribbean destination. Getting to
Roatan or the mainland is quick and easy from the US. You have sev-
eral options to get you to Guanaja from there. You can:

Fastest - Fly to Roatan and then charter a boat or flight directly to
Guanaja on the weekly Saturday flight from Roatan (see details be-
low).

Second Fastest - Fly to Roatan and then take two 15-30 minutes
flights: one to La Ceiba on the mainland and then another to Guanaja

Takes longer but probably more flexible times - Fly to the Honduran
mainland from the US to either San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa, then
fly to La Ceiba and on to Guanaja
