Creator's Key Takeaways
If you're at the Mahogany Bay Cruise Terminal, remember that taxis are the only cars allowed inside.
It's an unbelievable feeling to fly at that speed above palm trees with macaw screeching nearby and the Caribbean Sea in the distance.
One thing we want to highlight about Honduras, tips are expected. If you interact with a guide, someone takes a photo for you, or you order something at a cafe, it's good to have cash, preferably US dollars.
