Carriers
that fly into Honduras are American Airlines (making connections
through Miami), Continental (connecting through Houston)
Delta (connecting through Atlanta) and TACA Airlines with
several U.S. departure cities, including San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Miami and New York. Travellers coming from
Europe (or other areas outside the USA) will most likely
come through Miami on their way to San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Once you arrive in Honduras at either San Pedro Sula, La
Ceiba or Roatan, you will need to take a domestic flight
to the island of Guanaja. All flights into Guanaja originate
at La Ceiba on the north mainland coast of Honduras. So,
if you arrive at a different entry point you will need to
fly via La Ceiba. The domestic airline flying the La Ceiba
- Guanaja run is SOSA Air.
Round-trip
tickets should be purcahsed in advance. The cost of these
tickets is approximately $280 per person SAP -GUA return.
If you are in Honduras prior to coming to Guanaja, purchasing
tickets at the aiirport is no problem. If not, and you or
your travel agent cannot book these domestic flights, WPI
Reservations can arrange to have your tickets waiting for
you on arrival in Honduras. However, tickets are not refundable
but are good for one year so dates can be changed.
U.S., Canadian and most western European citizens do not
require any visa for visits less than 90 days. Visitors
will need a valid passport and a return tickets.
There are no official health requirements for travel in
Honduras. However, routine vaccinations for diphtheria and
tetanus should be current. Malaria and Dengue Fever are
known in some regions so you may want to ask your doctor
about these as well as the Hepatitis vaccine.
Even
though these diseases may be rare, be alert upon your return
to the states, and if you come down with an illness similar
to the flu go to the doctor immediately to be tested for
these tropical diseases. Always tell your care provider
that you have travelled to an area known for Malaria and
Dengue Fever.
