Boat

Ferries to the Bay Islands operate from the Muelle de Cabotaje, about 8km east of town.

The modern, comfortable Galaxy Wave ( La Ceiba 2414-5739, Roatán 2445-1795; www.roatanferry.com) sails twice daily to Roatán at 9:30am and 4:30pm (1st/normal class L674/574, 1¾ hours). The beat-up Utila Princess II ( La Ceiba 2408-5163; www.utilaprincess.com; ticket office 7am-4pm) departs twice daily at 9:30am and 4pm (L472, one hour).

Sea sickness can affect passengers on both services – plan accordingly.

Bus

Most non-luxury buses use the main terminal at Mercado San José, about 1.5km west of the center of La Ceiba – Diana Express ( 2441-6460), Catisa-Tupsa ( 2441-2539) and Kamaldy ( 2441-2028; www.transporteskamaldy.com) all have offices there – but there are some important exceptions. The Viana ( 2441-2230; www.vianatransportes.com) bus terminal is another 500m further west along the same road; continue a bit further for Cotuc ( 2441-2199) and Cotraibal buses for Trujillo. San Miguel Plus ( 2441-2280; transportesanmiguel.com) buses also leave from a terminal on this highway. Hedman Alas ( 2441-5347; www.hedmanalas.com) has its own terminal on the main highway just east of the center. An additional three companies also head to San Pedro Sula from the main terminal.
