Responsible tourism in Honduras

Coco Tours' creation took place in a Honduran Garifuna village in 1995, since then, we embrace the principles fair tourism... 15% of our profits are reinvested in solidarity projects in Garifuna communities.

"Travelling is an excellent way to bond and understand people. It allows the personal growth of the traveler and the host. Their resources must serve the sustainable development of populations visited"
Miguel ( Manager of Coco Tours)


Responsible travel is a rising movement and an increasing trend that can change the way we travel forever. We hope you’ll join us in re-inventing tourism for the benefit of local people, tourists, the environment and the tourism industry at large. Please contact us to see our missions in 2013.

If you believe in responsible tourism and the partnership of local people in the holiday experience, then you have come to the right place.
