The 5 Best Things to do Good for Kids in La Ceiba, Atlantida Department
La Ceiba (Spanish pronunciation: [la ˈseiβa]) is a port city on the northern coast of Honduras in Central America. It is located on the southern edge of the Caribbean, forming part of the south eastern boundary of the Gulf of Honduras. With an estimated population of over 200,000 living in approximately 170 residential areas (called colonias or barrios), it is the third largest city in the country and the capital of the Honduran department of Atlántida. La Ceiba was officially founded on 23 August 1877. The city was named after a giant ceiba tree which grew near the old dock. The dock itself finally fell into the sea in late 2007. The city has been officially proclaimed the "Eco-Tourism Capital of Honduras" as well as the "Entertainment Capital of Honduras". Every year, on the third or fourth Saturday of May, the city holds its famous carnival to commemorate Isidore the Laborer (Spanish San Isidro Labrador). During this time, the city is host to approximately 500,000 tourists.

This was a daytrip we went out in a private boat and snorkled in two locations then went to the inhabited island where we were greeted with quiet attentive Gafaren (may be spelled wrong) people who have been there for many years and still rely on the land to rpvide much of what they need. We had a delicious lunch of whole snapper, beans and rice and plantains. If you go take cookies or candies to share with the children they absolutley love it and are so greatful.

Awesome ferry, very comfortable, fast to travel and no loud music so you can talk easily. Even brought my motorcycle to Roatan for a fair price and it didn’t got a single scratch.
