The diving and backpackers' paradise of Central America is just that : a place where to learn how to dive, relax and party with other backpackers without spending too much money.

Global : 13.88/20 Backpackers (8) : 16.25 Criteria : 11.50
The other alternative of the Bay Islands offers more tranquility, sandy beaches and trekking opportunities than crowded Utila. You may even meet more locals than foreigners there ! Globally, it is a much nicer place to relax, swim, snorkel or dive but, off course, it will be a little bit more expensive...
