Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the dramatic rise of the Nombre de Dios mountain range and the iconic, cloud-forest covered peak of Pico Bonito.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🚜

Sula Valley

The industrial and agricultural heart of Honduras as you depart the San Pedro Sula area.

⛰️

Nombre de Dios Range

A formidable wall of green mountains that runs parallel to the coastline for the duration of the flight.

🏔️

Pico Bonito

One of Honduras' most famous landmarks, a jagged 2,435-meter peak often draped in mist.

💧

Cangrejal River Valley

The steep, rocky gorge of the Cangrejal River as it descends from the mountains toward La Ceiba.

The right side is superior for photography of the mountains. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the peaks. Be sure to look out about 10 minutes before landing to see the vertical drops of the Nombre de Dios range.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea extending toward the Bay Islands.

🦜

Cuero y Salado Refuge

The intricate network of canals, mangroves, and lagoons within this important wildlife sanctuary.

🏖️

Coastal Shoreline

The transition from the murky river outlets to the clearer sandy beaches of El Porvenir.

🌴

Agricultural Grid

Large-scale African oil palm plantations creating geometric patterns across the coastal floor.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Caribbean Sea. This side is also better for spotting the distant silhouettes of Utila on very clear days.
