Hi, I just got back from 3 beautiful weeks in Honduras. This is my 4th trip in 4 years. I flew into San Pedro and used Kerims private transport service to the western highlands near the Salvadorian border in the department of Lempira. I did not encounter any roadblocks/riots/civil unrest. I stayed there for two weeks without incident. Then Kerim picked me up from Lempira and took a girlfriend and I to PANACAM for a night (highly recommended for bird lovers), a night by Lago de Yojoa after exploring Parque Los Naranjos and Biopark Paradise. We again had a wonderful time without any incidents. Lastly, I spent 2 days in San Pedro with Kerim, we went to Omoa (what a cultural delight) and had seafood soup on the coast. My last day he took me to a spa for an expertly given massage. I even walked to the mall by myself from my hotel. The Honduran people are warm, friendly and humble. In my personal opinion, you are more likely to be assaulted on vacation in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, etc than in Honduras. Kerim is attentive, on time, and patient Don't be afraid of Honduras,if you are a tourist, and not looking for any trouble, it most likely wont find you. The news we hear here in the US is very slanted. There are always 2 sides to every story.

Kerim was outstanding and I feel that I got more than I paid for on his tour.  I was the only one on the tour but he gave me a full day.  He was very knowledgeable and conversational.  I highly recommend his services.

ESMERALDA WAS THE BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER!!! She was so sweet and friendly, and showed us all an amazing time. She picked us up from our house in West End and brought us to the ATV place. Big Honey and Little Honey were great guides and ensured we all were safe and having fun. Esmerelda brought us to the monkey and sloth sanctuary, which was AWESOME!! The animals are well taken care of and seem to really enjoy socializing. Flash the sloth stole my heart! We then got lunch in West End. It was raining the day we went, so Esmerelda gave us the option of doing the private snorkel tour the next day, which we did. JC was our boat driver and guide, and he was great as well! Very knowledgeable about the marine life. We saw lots of fish, a huge eel, and a spotted ray! Would definitely recommend this company, and ask for Esmeralda and JC if you get the chance!
