La Ceiba is a port city on the Northern Coast of Honduras in Central America.  The city is named for giant ceiba trees which grew near the old dock.  The city has been officially proclaimed the "Eco-Tourism Capital of Honduras" as well as the "Entertainment Capital of Honduras".

La Ceiba has long been known as the tourism capital of Honduras, due to its proximity to the beach, active night life, and a variety of parks and recreational areas in and around the city. Another factor contributing to the city's tourism is the city port which provides ferry services to the Bay Islands/Islas de la Bahia. Ferries from this port offer daily service to the main islands of Utila and Roatan.

The area around La Ceiba has many parks and natural reserves. Its most recognized natural area is the Pico Bonito (Beautiful Peak) National Park. This park's most recognized feature, Pico Bonito on the "Nombre de Dios" mountain range, is 2435 meters high and provides a back drop for the city. The Cangrejal River, popular for its Class III-IV river rafting, borders the eastern edge of the city and the Cuero and Salado  Wildlife Refuge with its wild manatees is located a few miles to the west of the city.

Cayman Airways currently offers twice weekly direct flights to La Ceiba from Grand Cayman.
