Utila, Honduras: The Caribbean's Best Kept Secret? (Travel Guide)

Where I met Steve

Utila, Honduras, is more than just a diver's paradise—it's one of the most unique islands in the Caribbean! 🇭🇳 In today's travel vlog, I’m taking you on a journey through Utila with my buddies Marcel and Steve.

From hiking up Pumpkin Hill to face my fear of heights, to meeting "Swampy" the oldest living iguana at the Iguana Research Center, Utila is packed with surprises. I’m also sharing some essential "Pro Tips" for visitors, including why you should always carry cash (and where to find the best ATM) and how to navigate the island as an English speaker.

Whether you're here for the world-class snorkeling, the famous Monkey Lala cocktails, or a sunset kayak through the mangroves, this is everything you need to know about visiting Utila!

What we explore in this video:
✅ Utila Pro-Tips: How to avoid credit card fees and why English is so common here.
✅ Adventure: Hiking Pumpkin Hill for the best views of the island.
✅ Wildlife: Meeting a 30-year-old iguana at the research center.
✅ Snorkeling & Diving: Epic footage of the reef "drop-off" and alien-like fish. ✅ Food & Drink: Trying the legendary Monkey Lala and Barracuda at RJ’s.
✅ Hidden Gem: Kayaking through the mangroves to reach a private beach.
