FAQ

Common questions before booking

1. Where is Utila?

Utila is located in the Bay Islands of Honduras, in the Western Caribbean.

2. How to get to Utila?

The best way to get to Utila is to fly into Roatan (RTB) and take the daily ferry (one hour trip) Utila-bound. If the ferry schedules do not align with your travel itinerary, we would be happy to recommend a few local flight charter options.

3. What is the best season to visit?

Utila is a great travel destination year-round. Our favorite season is late February-May. Rainy season is from late November-February (but dive conditions are still great).

4. Can I get SCUBA certified during my trip?

Yes. We offer private scuba instruction and it can easily be integrated as part of your all-inclusive, week-long trip or you can book private Instruction.

5. How many guests can Off the Dock accommodate?

We can accommodate a maximum of 6 guests.

6. Can you operate from Roatan or Guanaja?

Yes. We can meet our guests in one of our sister islands and operate from there (customized trips only).

7. What big-game wildlife can we encounter?

We usually see different species of dolphin (Bottlenose, Rough-toothed, Spinners), Whalesharks, and other big game such as pilot whales. We typically encounter these during surface intervals and fishing charters. Snorkeling is permitted with big-game wildlife.

8. Do I need proof of travel insurance?

Yes, for scuba diving. We require all divers to show proof of scuba diving incident insurance.

9. What is the best form of transportation on the island?

We recommend Tuk Tuks (Taxi) as the main form of transportation.


You can also rent an ATV or golf cart locally during your stay.

10. Do I need a visa to travel to Honduras?

It depends on which country you are visiting from, and regulations are subject to change. We recommend checking with your local travel agency / government offices to see what requirements you need to enter the country.
